Stories from the world of RC car racing

The feature race this week will be Wednesday night. Who remembers having fun at an RC race – who remembers actual laughter on the drivers stand – well it all happens on a Wednesday night at Bayside (oops – that should be Logan thanks Barger) with the F1 racing – sure they are only small numbers so far but it’s growing and everyone who comes to watch goes off trying to buy or borrow a F1. 540 motors in a 1kg package with 2wd and foams – not slow – exciting.
Logan Wednesday 29th – track opens at about 5 racing from about 7.
Saturday night Logan racing from about 6 – all 1/10th Onroad EP and GP.
I think that’s it for this week or is Brendale this Friday night ? senility is setting in I can’t remember.
It’s a RC free weekend for me – I’m heading to Harvey Bay for a wedding, leaving Friday back Sunday.

    Dave ..it is Logan for F1 not Bayside…I heard a rumour that Gold Coast is running every Sunday until the big meeting…will try to confirm
    And Heavy is right ..F1s on a Wed night are so much fun…come and have a look..or better still drag your old F1 out of the cupboard and have a go…when we started a little while ago I dragged my old Corally F1 that had been in a box for over 10 years and it went great…Heavy is running it now..so come and have some FUN

    The F1 racing at Logan tonight was fantastic (I thought).
    We had 7 cars on the grid and a couple in the pits not racing – yet.
    Running 540 motors at the moment and it seems to have made the racing a lot closer. Martin won the first, Bob won the second and Martin won the final.
    Laughter was heard and most left with big smiles on their faces – actually fun and enjoyment is mandatory on Wednesday nights. Brad Hall has got nothing 😆 😆 😆

    Very tempting, very tempting indeed, but may be a bit hard explaining to the wife the hole in the bank account, right now.
    And the track is always open for you Heavy 😉
