BREAKING NEWS regarding the 2014 Canadian 5ifth Scale Nationals
Dear 5th Scale Racers,
As you may have been aware, the venue of the Canadian 5ifth Scale Nationals, RC Acres, Hamilton, Ontario, has been in discussions with the City of Hamilton regarding their facility in regards to their rights and freedoms to conduct races. Today, was a pivotal day in those discussions, whereas series racing will be allowed to continue, however, multi-day events are currently not permissible. Some of the key components of this event involve camping, additional entertainment and continuous racing, and at this juncture, RC Acres will not be able to stage this event.
But with this devastating news, there is a silver lining. The Canadian 5ifth Scale Nationals in the 11th hour has been awarded a new venue.
July 18-20 the 2014 Canadian 5ifth Scale Nationals will be held at its new venue, Walton Raceway, inside the Motocross Capital of Canada, Walton, Ontario. Just 125 Km North-West of RC Acres, Walton has already proven itself a more than capable host venue for an event of this magnitude, and will offer additional caveats not offered anywhere else. Everything promoted prior:
• 3 Days of Racing (Friday Controlled Practice, Saturday Qualifiers, Sunday Mains)
• Saturday Night Dinner (Pig Roast or similar)
• Saturday Night Party
Plus...: exceptional camping facilities (Hydro and Water hook-ups available), showers on-site, food booth, vendors, lots of tuning areas, no sound restrictions, and much more.
In 2014 Walton Raceway created a permanent 1/5 Scale Track with an exceptional drivers stand. After the first official race there, the reviews were all exceptional; racers loved the fast track, the varying elevation, the short track maintenance breaks and the layout. They will continue to add events for 1/5 scale racers, and the community is excited to have them as part of our growing industry. They will be an exceptional host for the Canadian 5ifth Scale Nationals.
Our thanks to Tom Bitz and Brett Lee team for their quick acceptance of this opportunity, and their accommodation has now ensured that this inaugural and premier race will transpire.
We look forward to racing with you at Walton. It's not the way we had planned it, but we're confident that this race will be as outstanding as we had hoped, just with a different backdrop.
See you in July.
