Slot Car Club Raceway
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?.

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)
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
