Hi All, here's the videos of the Touring Car GT finals from the Much More Masters on the 22nd April. There's even a rare appearance of the "Night Rider", with stunt driving that would make "The Hoff" proud. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching.

Hi All,

Unfortunately I will not be down at the track today. It is a public track so you are more than welcome to throw laps.

Some others may likely be there getting some practice for XRS Round 4, however I feel a lot of people are eagerly leaving it for tomorrow when we have our race day! Rough time schedule is as normal:

1) we will be setting up from 8-9am
2) open track from 9-10 for practice
3) 10-10:15am drivers meeting
4) start racing 10:30am
5) finish hopefully by 3pm
6) open track with timing 3pm

Thanks and see you tomorrow!

Hi All,

Please see the updated entry list as of 30/09/2017 @ 11am. If your name is not on the list and have submitted before this date/time, please let me know or resubmit your entry just to make sure we have not missed you.

Great to see so many entries, looking to be a great event with almost 60 entries already!

Please note the capped demo classes. If it max's out, we will place you on the waiting list in case anyone drops out.

Tomorrow, we will have a race meet on so come get your much needed practice in as the track will be sprayed as a trial for more consistent traction during XRS Round 4!

Some of the GT guys are a bit slow to enter Trevor (must be an age thing). Should get a full field.

What a weekend of racing!

Thank you to all that attended XRS Round 4 at WMCC. Thank you also to those who helped make this happen, especially XRAY & HEI for allowing WMCC to host this round (despite the late notice); Dean, John Mackie & Matt Oxford for putting aside his whole weekend to help run the day (despite not racing themselves) as well as Erin & Eileen for the help around race control and scrutineering. Also huge thanks to Tony Smith and Kane Alderton for spraying the track!

HUGE congratulations to the Junior drivers, they really showed us old fellas how to race competitively and considerately to other racers.

Thank you to the guys and girls that came from long and far (Orange - Andrew/Newcastle - Calvin/Greg/Brendan/South Hurstville - Nathan ).

I personally apologise for the minor issues we had with the timing equipment and setup - running live timing for the first time meant some things were not setup correctly. This also means that some final standing have changed from what was announced yesterday due to a correction in tie break rules. Now that it is working and setup correctly, we are proud to now have live timing at WMCC permanently on all club days and events in the future (thanks to the recommendations of Ed/Nathan).

Please see the attached final placings and congratulations to all that competed.

Thanks to you John and all the others at WMCC that ran the day. Considering the short time you had to get the event organised it ran extremely well. Was good to see the rules stuck too firmly in regards to battery voltages and weights, thankfully no one seemed to fall victim to it but it was great to see rules being strongly enforced.

Was also great to see races still run when there was a light drizzle of rain, and a slightly damp track, other events may have just called it off, but thanks to all the guys and girls for pushing through the last round of finals.

Was a great event overall and would love to see more events like this at Whalan in the future!

Hey all, hope you've all had a good time racing but its time to come back to Whalan! We are having race meeting on the 25th this month so mark it down on your racing calandars and save the date! All classes are accomodated for so bring it and we'll fit you, novice and juniors Race FREE, lets grow our silly passion! Plans are to have us racing by 10:00am with our usual 2 qualifiers and 3 finals planned if time allows it. Share this around and tell everybody we want this to be a big day for all to enjoy, we will supply tents and tables so you'll be comfortable, all you need is a radio and car 😉

P.S 30 Litres of definitely not sugar free Coke is ready to go down. Grip will be no issue! 😍😍😍

Hi, Is this track still open? I looked on facebook but the last post was from 2015? https://www.facebook.com/GWSRCCC/

I'm considering to start racing for the first time soon. (I've only ever casually bashed for off-road the last 25 years)... Even though I'm an "adult", the concept still seems a bit intimidating... Especially considering the faster pace of on-road.
So I think I should get some practice in by myself first.
I see you had a race meet yesterday? How often do you guys host race meets? I'm in Quakers Hill, so it's a little bit of a drive. It'd be a shame to accidentally rock up on race day unprepared.

Where is the best place to get the latest news? Website? Twitter? Is the track open for practice on other days or is it private property?
Once I get some practice in, are there anything I should do to my car/radio setup? All of my equipment is very old - 40MHz radio and brushed motors (no stock motors or silver cans either - however I do have 27T silver can armatures I could use) I do have 2 brushless esc/motors, but they're WAAAY too quick for me. 3.5T and 4.5T are just too insane!
Any advice on who to talk to etc?
Thanks.

Hi,

That seems to be the old facebook from the previous club. Here is the new one WMCC FACEBOOK LINK.

The track is totally open for practice outside of our race/practice days. We race twice a month - on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month (yesterday being one of them).

I recommend a baseline chassis that is supported locally, normally Yokomo/Awesomatix/XRAY/Mugen/VBC etc are the top brands at the moment with onroad 1/10 touring electric cars (this is mostly what we run). This helps in the fact that if you break something, we all help each other out with spare parts/cars etc. Also we can help each other on setup advice etc. Also, most radios are now 2.4ghz which allows for a more versatile communication protocol between transmitter/receiver. Most current radios will be 2.4ghz as well as RTR kits having this as a base technology.

I would best suggest you come along to our next practice or race meet (normally we are there every Sunday for practice). You are more than welcome to call me direct to discuss (ill PM you my mobile number).

Great news for you is that novice/juniors are free which includes new comers to onroad to get used to the race format/day. We are very casual and welcoming of new people to this hobby, so please come along and we will help where we can!

Hopefully see you at the track soon!

Kind Regards,
JP
