Club Profile

Established in the early 1980's, on a Purpose Built race track on land leased from the Kingborough Council, the Club has been host to Australian Title Races and lately just members who are enthusiastic Model Car Racers.

Objective

To foster model car racing for all the family and for all levels of skill. Members of the Club are always prepared to offer advice and ideas to ALL new members.Membership & race fees are used to fund track repairs & upgrading facilities as we have no outside funding available.

Affiliations

HRCCC is affilliated with the national body AARCMCC, so our members can compete in National events.

Track Availability

As a member of the Club, and with the purchase of a "Gate Key" (available to FULL MEMBERS only) the track is open for practice every day of the week except on Race Days.No engines to be running before 9.00a.m.or after 5.00p.m.in consideration of our neighbours.

Track Facilities

The Club has its own computer system that detects every car in a race ,AMB type transponders are required for each car to transmit to our lap timer & race scoring system. Registration/scrutineering is between 9.00am-9.30am & racing begins at 9.45am. The computer programme runs the days racing, calling out by name the next CLASS and the DRIVERS listed to race in that class through a load speaker system.
There are also undercover work benches with 240 volt power available for recharging batteries etc, and a barbeque for preparation of food for those attending, plus a drivers stand located at the beginning of the front straight.repeating =""Membership & race fees are used to fund track repairs & upgrading facilities as we have no outside funding available.Significant track surface upgrade will be undertaken in May 2011""
