Hi Bender
Yes it is a temporay track, which is the same layout that we race at Murwillumbah
If you down load the entry form you will see the track layout
Track is formed by 50mm PVC pipe which is very easy on the cars
if you get of line
The track width ranges from a minimum of 3mtrs to a max of 6mtrs on the main straight
Surface is a smooth ashphalt which will have VHT track bit applied to all corners for great traction
The track has been discribed in RacingLines as the best non permanent track on the east coast and as having the best set of infield corners also. Total track length 290 mtrs for GP car and approximatly 240 for EP cars.
Join us on one of our race days to try the circuit out, dates listed below.
Hope to see you in October or sooner

What is the format for the Nitro day?
Christmas tree or direct qualify. Also, how long is the main final? Sounded good that we will have a permanent track on GC again!
Thanks!

At our last event we ran 4, 5 min qualifiers (2 then regrade, 2 then regrade prior to final)
Final is set to be 30 mins for A final, 15 mins for B final, 5 for all other finals.
Subject to change, pending on number of race entries for each class and time constraints.
The track layout is well suited to 1/8th with 6 mtr wide 60mtr long main straigth and minimum of three meter wide on some corners.
Tell as many people as possible, as this event will be a show case to the council, showing them the extent of R/C activity on the coast. With out the support of the R/C community we will have a had time convincing the council to give us some land.
SO SEND IN YOUR ENTRYS SOON!

For those of us who have not been there before and want to race nitro can somebody give some hints as to a good starting point for tires and I am assuming it is a long track and a NS12 motor is the go?? Any help appreciated to prevent angst on the day

Since they are going to spray... At least 42 and may be 45. That would be my guess.
