Hi OGR management,
Victoria's WCICS race date is confirmed for January 11-13 2019 this year. This is one week later than usual as the normal date was getting a little too close to New Year's Day. We will most likely stick to this new date moving forward as it will make travel easier and cheaper for our guests.
Hopefully you can swap your club date? Sorry for the confusion but we had not yet announced our date as we waiting for approval from our venue.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Blake

Those wondering about the 12th scale situation:
A few racers and myself are planning to support stock 12 for the entire season. Note that the motor spec is 17.5 blinky, with plenty of options. Mod 12 is fun, but not worth taking away from the stock class to the point where the numbers are too low to be run. Once we have a healthy stock class, we can think about a mod class later on in the season or next year.
Euro trucks, no more bashy bashy, its going to be fun entry level racing.
We can always use more setup helpers in the morning.
Less than a month!

Any 21.5 motor??
Big Block Scale Spec 21.5
Any on-road 1/10th scale RC vehicle FWD cars will follow the same rules and weight
Motor: Any 21.5 Open Gearing
Open 21.5 motor or roar approved 21.5 motor? That will make a big difference🤔

Sept 29th Winter warm up.
Hello everyone,
Hope everyone had fun coming back to the gym . It's good to see new faces and old faces.
We are trying out some new set ups to the track and islands.
Seems to be working better and needs a little more tweaking.
Once it's done, the layout will change after the Big Chill.
We do this changes every year to make new challenges and fun for everyone.
Today I'll post the results for this race. We had 2 qualifiers and the mains.
Lots of time to wrench,lunch and test on your cars in between, worked out well for everyone.
We will continue on for the next 2 club races as no points series won't start after Big Chill.
Thanks and hope to see more of you next club date.

Oct 13 Race results
Hello everyone,
Good to see everyone again yesterday. Awesome day of racing.
We voted in to get 3 qualifiers instead of 2 and the mains.
We strapped on a tight schedule and proceeded pretty good.
Marshalls and volunteers stepped up the game which was a bonus.
Hope everyone keeps it up all the time. The races went as smooth as it can thanks to you.
I can't remember all the Novice guys name but it's always a pleasure from us to cater you all.
Racers from the South, come back and visit us soon for more fun and laughter.
Attached here are the results. There's not many videos taken but check out our f.book page if you haven't.
Cheers.
