I recon if you built a track to a National standard that would cater for 1/5th you couldn't go wrong.
Dependant upon when the racing was being run I'd race there.
Already travel from Newcastle to Moorebank now so Windsor may actually work out slighty closer.

no point really mate, as SORMCC is already planning on building a track in Whalen with municipality support. the SORMCC track will be big enough to cater for 1;5th and 8th scale.
the 5th scale numbers currently are very small anyway, if you build a track you'de be better of doing one that is also suitable to 8th and tourer anyway.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NO POINT.
I WENT TO SORMCC SITE NO MENTION OF 1/5TH
MAYBE THE REASON THE 1/5TH NUMBERS ARE SMALL IS BECAUSE THERE ARE LIMITED VENUES TO SUIT THESE MODELS
THE AIM (I BELIEVE) IS TO PROMOTE THE SPORT NO MATTER WHAT SCALE OR TYPE WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN.

You can promote the sport but having venues closer to each other and running at the same day/s is not good for clubs as numbers will get diluted, like what's is happening now. Whalan will be catering for 1/5 scale like Tomb mentioned. PM "mugenracer" as he runs the club and will be able to tell you what his 1/5 plans are in the future.

Used to race my 125 Rotax go kart down there. Would be a great track for RC.

Have a look at the AARCMCC site (there's a thread here), I'm sure there will be a link on there somewhere. The dimension for a National/International track would most likely be found in the general rules section.
If not PM Peter Ellis (fastoldfat) and I'm sure he will be able to hook you up with the details about track dimensions etc.

The more world class tracks the better IMO, there is more than enough population base in western sydney to satisfy the various people.
I wouldnt focus too much on 5th scale though, you will only ever get a handful of these racers. The dollars will come from the nitro racers, tourer with a smattering of 8th scale.
Just build it big and open so the Penrith guys will love it. And hopefully a few technical sections to keep it interesting for the rest.
Just run on alternate weekends to SORMCC, and there should be little conflict between the groups.
Good luck, and if we can offer some advice just ask.
I assume you guys have chatted with the likes of Windsor indoor track for some suggestions and advice? if not come down tomm night for a chat, ask for me if you like. Just look for the Safety orange tourer bouncing off the walls lol

The IFMAR specifications for 1/5th tracks can be found on the 5th worlds site at http://www.5thscaleworlds.com/Downlo...8/Default.aspx
They are in section 3 of the IFMAR 1/5th Track Racing and Technical Rules file at the bottom of the rules section.
You can also get them from the IFMAR website at http://www.ifmar.org/

Well done. The committee at PDNR have at ample time to get a permanent track. Its about time somebody to took the bull by the horns and catered for the RC population around this area who want a permanent track.If the track is anything like the off road track that the BUTTERFLY farm set up imsure it will be success.
