The best day(s) of racing here at RIR. We state its the hardest title in NZ to win and we are not kidding!! The format is well proven and requires 3 consistant races to get the title. Nothing is guaranteed.
For 2024 we are going to be celebrating all things 2WD. We have 3 special races lined up for our RM Class cars. Open to any Rear Motor 2WD car, modern or new, to celebrate RM 2WD cars. 21.5T Brushless in blinky, or upto a 20T Brushed motor. If you have a spare car floating around, this is the time to rip it out. We will have special race formats for the RM cars.
We also have a Lunchbox/Grasshopper/Wheelie class and will extend this to cover off Frog, Subaru Brat, Blackfoot, Monster Beetle and any other derivitive. Not a race as such, but a chance to get these true vintage cars out. Superchamps etc are also included. Modern DT02 may enter with these cars.
We will run all the Vintage races together this year, but they will run mid way through the day. If you wish to cross enter your vintage cars in modern classes we also allow this.
Entries open once these regs are published.

We use the NZRCA rules for class/vehicle/technical requirements.
Scales will be on site and competitors will do a self policing weigh in to ensure minimum weights are respected.
The racing formats are RIR and as outlined above.
This is a 1 day club meeting, trophies are on offer, but if you really want one badly, we know the guy who makes them and he can probably sort one for you if you need then that badly.
Facility Rules:
RIR is a smokefree facility. Smoking and vaping must be done on the driveway beside the stock pens.
Covered shoes must be worn when at the facility. The track is in a paddock, there maybe hazards in the ground.
Please takeway all rubbish please.
We are a member club of the NZRCA. As such the technical and sporting rules that are set for our sport are respected. As this is a club meeting and our race formats and classes are unique to RIR, these are used as a guideline only, and we encourage you to ask questions if you are concerned - we are here to help and encourage participation at all levels.
We will do random checks, weights, tires, dimensions through out the weekend.
Prizegiving will be held at the end of the last days racing.
AMB Lap scoring with 4.3 allowing most AMB transponders as well as MRT.
Marshalling is a requirement of all drivers to ensure the meeting runs smoothly.
You must marshal the race after your race. A table will be behind the drivers stand for you to put your cars. Once you have finished your race, collect your car and put it on the table, then head out to marshal. If you are doubling up, we will have a small gap to allow you to swop over.
Once that race has finished you may then check the race results which will be posted on the shed and collect your car.
You may not go back to your pit area immediately after your race.
All efforts will be made to not have back to back races but sometimes this is unable to be achieved.
We appreciate parents marshalling the Junior races.
No Junior is to marshall the 1:8 E-Buggy races for safety reasons.
We encourage lots of volunteer marshalling during the vintage racing as we know there will be a lot of cross entries in the classes.
Mowen grass pit area, 240V Power, air compressor. Bring your own tables, chairs, ezups. Ezups must be pegged - this is the Manawatu afterall.
Bring a chair, it will be a long few days but a great deal of fun.
P&B Snacks will be operating on site. They have a great range of food and will have coffees on site this year.
There is a Air BNB across the road from the entry point to the track. If you come early, then the track will be available on saturday if you require.
There is no shoartage of quality accomodation in Palmerston North, only 8 minutes drive.
No provision for bad weather has been allowed. We will advise you of plans during the day and make changes as required to make the event work.
