Onroad RC in Darwin?
Hi guys,
I'm off to Darwin in the New Year and, of course, will be in need of some RC action to keep my eye in whilst i'm away.
Can anyone tell me if there is any on-road racing up in Darwin? And if so, whereabouts, what classes etc!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Last I heard they were racing at the Darwin High School, but that was probably 2003? Give the Toyworld store at Nightcliff a call, that's where I bumped into one of the organisers when I was there in '03.

That wouldn't be Tony Fisher by chance?
He over here now living in QLD.
I also raced offroad in Darwin even before the move to the 'new' track. We raced on grass across the road from the 'Water Gardens'. I was so broke that my buggy didn't have bearings, just the bushes supplied in the Kit.
My 1/8 scale car was a 2nd hand AE RC300D pan car with an OPS engine. I couldn't keep up with the other cars running very high nitro blended fuel but had alot of fun.

I remember that, we were too young (and broke) to race with you guys. We had settle for racing offroad on the new track we built just down the road next to the BMX track.
