After an abortive race meet last week that was unfortunately cancelled at the last minute, we are back racing this week as a replacement for last week.

next race meet will be on Sunday 22nd of May, times are yet to he determined, but the date has been locked in. Practice first with racing kicking off somewhere around the middle of the day. We will also have some dedicated time before and after the race meet for people to bring a mate to have a try with their own cars, or perhaps one you have loaned them.

Due to an unfortunate series of events, and a large number of Committee members unable to attend racing tonight, we have had to make the tough decision to cancel tonight’s race meet. We apologise for rthe shorrt notice, and we are just as disappointed that things did not work out tonight.

Start your engines, racing is back once again this Friday night a the Uniquely Tasmanian Pavilion, Quercus Park, Carrick. The usual 2WD buggy and 4WD Buggy categories will be running, as well as the Outlaw & Novice classes numbers pending. I know i’m keen to get my stadium truck out for a run again after some repairs and changes to setup. Doors open at 6, racing will starrt after the race bieing at 7.

This week will also be the last round of the 2022 Autumn Race Series so it is your last chance to bank some points. Final results of that will be released the following week.

To make up for this slightly late notice of racing this week, we are also giving you a heads up that the next race meet will be on Sunday 22nd of May, times are yet to he determined, but the date has been locked in. Practice first with racing kicking off somewhere around the middle of the day. We will also have some dedicated time before and after the race meet for people to bring a mate to have a try with their own cars, or perhaps one you have loaned them. You know you want more mates to race 😉

Yes Racing is back this Friday night with a couple of small changes to classes for the night. The points series for 2wd and 4wd buggy is reaching it’s penultimate stages so if you are trying to take first place in either category, you need to be there. Updates on the status of the points series will be forthcoming soon.

Being Easter holidays it is also the perfect time to bring a friend to watch, or have a crack in our reinstated Novice class which will be operating each week. If numbers are low, the Novice lass will be combined with our new class for 2022, the Outlaw class. There will be penalties however if Outlaw drives do not give Novice drivers due space, details an be found on our Classes page.

Doors will be open by 6pm, racing will hopefully begin after the drivers briefing at 7pm. Sp get your cars ready to race and lets have a cracker night.

Hi every one just a quick reminder we are racing Friday, lets see some old faces back(me included) for some top notch racing

Doors open 5pm racing 7pm

Hi all reminder racing is on this Friday, doors open at 6pm racing starts at 7pm.

Yes our next race meet on Friday the 11th of February 2022 marks the first round of our Autumn Points Series. This is the first points series we have run for a little while, so this is how it’s going to work.

The series will consist of 6 races starting Feb 11, and culminating on April 22 all going to plan. Results will be finalised and presentations will be made the race meet following in May.

Of the six race meetings, your best five points scores will count. Points will be tallied on a per-class basis, with awards for the top 3 in each class. This will include novice if numbers permit.

The points system we’ll use is a variation on that used in Moto GP:

• 1st – 25 points
• 2nd – 22 points
• 3rd – 20 points
• 4th – 18 points
• 5th – 17 points
• 6th – 16 points
• and so on down to 20th – 2 points
• any class drawing more than 20 entrants all remaining drivers will receive 1 point

We’ll post points updates after each race meeting, so stay tuned to the website for all the news you need.

As always, doors open at 6pm, racing to start at 7pm.

Canteen will be open throughout the night, catering to your sugar needs (there’s water there too)

We have just 1 racing meet for December because peoples schedules are normally pretty full in December. Normall tha race meet would be oday the 3rd on our fortnightly schedule.

However this month we have pushed that out a week to the 10th of December so shorten the break over the Christmas / new years break.

I hope we see you all at our last meet, if not, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We are back this Friday with acing once again. The 5th and 19th are this month’s Racing Fridays with he 19th nominally our Truck night, with any luck I can get some carpet tyres for my truck by then.

As usual, doors open around 6 with racing commencing at 7pm so get your batteries charged, and your tyres glued, and let’s go acing!!
