Tamworth 2010 – possibilities

The Tamworth club is having a small resurgence and racing is alive and well in Electric touring cars – no Nitro.

Thinking is that they will run the Tamworth Cup this year for Electric only and incorporate the NSW /Qld Interstate challenge with that.

Proposed dates are 29th and 30th May.
Proposed classes Beginners 540, Pro 540, stock, super stock and mod.
Any comments ? Who is likely to go ?

designing tracks

We’re in the throes of putting together our track design for the new launceston indoor r/c raceway.  Challenge for us is that we want to be able to run onroad and offroad cars in the same race meeting – and would rather not have to continually move jumps on and off the track.

We’re working on a multi-option design that uses specific sections for onroad and offroad.  Here’s what we have so far….your thoughts and suggestions welcome:
