Track usage
The track area is open for public use just like a football oval, the Gold Coast Model Raceway Inc has right of use of the facilities for all weekends of the year.
You can use the track but some conditions do apply.
If you bring anythink on site you must take it away
(we have already had people using the area and left beer bottles, tyre packages and general rubbish around, WHICH IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE)
When using the facilities we expect you to report any problems or behavior by others to the club so that our facilities can be maintained in good conditions.
If we keep the area looking great people will respect it. Rubbish the area and everyone else will follow the lead of others
A key to the boom gate and drivers stand are only available to members of the club. So if you do not want to cart your gear in become a member and support the club financialy.
By next weekends working bee we will have spent close to $6000 on setting up.

Lovely lady
You would want to be a member to gain access to the track car park as I have a 1/5th on-road car and would not want to carry it on my shoulder with feul and rafio gear.
Also you would want to wait untill the off-road track is completed as you would only destroy your tyres on the asphalt.
We would prefer that only On-road car run on the asphalt track as large off-road veichles have a way of destroying track barriers where they can achive to much speed.

New Track is awesome
Hi All
Just wanted to congratulate the Gold Coast club for the excellent facility they have obviously worked so hard to get up and running. Even thought the race meet was washed out half way thru today, I still came home quite happy as the track was a pleasure to drive on, ultra smooth and great grip.
Cant wait for the club to host a big meet there, maybe if you invite Andy cooke and Andrew Abbott up again it will be awesome to watch the really fast guys blast around your new track.

Congrats to all the organisers of the new facility. Had a great time today and I reckon once the track is completed and power, shelter etc is all finished it will be one of the best clubs in QLD if not Aus.
It was run well, the atmosphere was good and the track itself is awsome, probably more suited to gas cars but the track itself is really nice to drive.

Hey guys, track looks great. What did you use for your barriers?

Hi HQH
I think it was a special type of black condute piping and the guy's welded it together, They did a great job on it. Chris was saying the concrete kirb's are going down soon and the painting will be finnished soon. The pipes do a great job from a safety issue but also stop the track jumper's.

Next race day
Working bees are progressing well
By next race day we will have the concrete curbs in place on all corners & painted (weather permiting)
Front fence in along the pit areas
New speaker system to pasify the locals
and some of the pit straight fitted with concrete barriers.
On a sadder note some one mentioned during the last race day that they did not like the poly barriers we had used and they were going to pull them up. Well someone did pull them up during the week which is very is disapointing if it was done by a person attending the race day as they are in place to protect there investment as well as other peoples.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ARE RUNNING INTO SAFTY BARRIERS AND CORNER CURBS IT IS NOT THERE FALT YOU MUST LEARN TO SLOW DOWN AND LEARN TO DRIVE.
We all must learn the new track and knowone knows that more that me arter turning my car upside down on the main straight sweeper.
Have a great week see you all October 1 remember that power is very limited at the moment. we may have power by the October 22 meeting.

Just had a look at the track today and the curbs look sweet. They are the best looking curbs I have seen on an RC track anywhere. Well done so far guys.
I see what you mean with the pipe Peter. Was wondering why it had all been pulled up. Not very clever who ever did this. Also I noticed the lock to the gate has been busted off allowing access to the area as there were cars in there not belonging to the club either.
Keep up the good work...cant wait to have a run.
