Josh, Meakin Park has an off road track, remember....otherwise you can go to Ipswich Chargers or BDR at Arana Hilss. I think maybe even Hobbytime at Beaudesert has an off road track.

I'm going to assume you actually did know about Meakin, considering you race TC there.

Cheers
Aaron

No worries mate, I think the Ipswich club is your best bet for electric as that is all they race. I too am thinking of stepping back into dirt, havent raced it for over 20 years and my favourite car is still the best AE RC10, but as you know I don't have enough money to even race one let alone two classes.

Josh - If you're just starting out in offroad I would suggest getting a 4wd. There is not much grip in offroad compared to onroad, so you'll enjoy driving a 4wd to begin with. 2wd EP is the most common class though.
Ipswich will be having one more day race on the 28th Oct, then we'll be running night racing from the 11th Nov through to April/May next year.
