I am planning to build & establish a Slot Car Race Track Club Raceway located at my Lifestyle Property half way between Pukekohe and Waiuku.

I am seeking expressions of interest for like minded people of all ages to join in with the design and build of the 100-120 foot long race track and learn how to build and race slot cars. Slot Car Racing is a fantastic and fun hobby for little cost and great reward.

We are planning to hold regular race meetings for various scale classes of 1/32nd and 1/24th scale race cars.

There are just 2 clubs running in Auckland at Henderson and Albany, but nobody in Franklin / South Auckland districts.

Typical Race Lap times between 2.2 sec for Wing Cars and 4-5 sec per GT / Saloon class if you are good enough?.

View progress at www.gscr.co.nz...

Please reply to this notice or email donrailton98@gmail.com if you want to consider joining this newly established racing club. (name yet to be penned)
