Benno 266 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just a quick update - i have spoken to Greg & event pricing and details will be forthcoming in the next couple of days. He has been away for his wedding anniversary this weekend. I can confirm that Handout motors are part of entry fees Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrettC 21 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Fox, talking to Greg the other day, it’s still only hand out motors for everything but ScaleAuto. this is the fee set by the track, not Greg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kart.68 111 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I would like to thank Greg for organising this great event and Peter for the venue. Looking at the entry list if up to date , Not that good for a National event come on get your entries in ONLY NSW have a good entry 7 teams VIC 4 and come on QLD 1 team, If you want these events to keep going support them.

Pagey 401 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Nice stuff Peter. Our club is doing all we can do to support your race meetings along with the other national meets . But with a lot of negative comments flying around today I’m not sure we have much hope for our loved hobby . Thanks for your efforts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoxBox 117 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hi Greg Can you please confirm the motor and the gearing will be as follows: - FLM Cheetah IV National Rules state motor to be either FOX IV or Cheetah IV - set by race organiser Porsche Cup SRP 25K and 13/44 National Rules state both motor and pinion to be set by race organiser.

MrSlotcar 9 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 This is not a decision I ever thought I would have to make. But in light of the virus pandemic, and the phone calls from concerned racers, Debbie and I have decided to postpone the Race scheduled for April 3rd - 5th, till later this year. We don't have a date in mind. That will be discussed once our lives start returning back to normal. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to the racers. Stay safe and healthy! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pagey 401 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Very sad to hear Peter . I’m sure we can get the group from here at the BullRing sorted to adjust plans when we get a date fixed . Your race centre is the benchmark and pray that all this virus stuff is over as quickly as possible. Looking forward to the trip at a later date . Cheers Pagey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axman 173 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Peter, it's you and Deb I'm worried about. As Pagey said your centre is the benchmark for how a Slotcar Centre should be set up but for the foreseeable future getting bums in the door to pay bills will be your main problem. I hope this pandemic goes away quickly so you and Deb can get back to business as usual. I'm sure all racers will support your re-scheduled event and hope in the meantime you guys stay healthy.

FoxBox 117 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Dear Peter Please don't apologise for any inconvenience - it is not inconvenient to make safe decisions but of course the financial ramifications for you and Debbie will not be convenient at all. Thanks for making this very tough call and FAT Racing (me and Darryl) look forward to coming to MrSlotcar once this situation has receded. Best wishes and Regards FoxBox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
