Event Information
Dirt Oval Racing is back at NZ's home of the Dirt Oval Speedway, the Citrus Bowl. New lights, timing, track and hut have allowed us to re-ignite the dirt oval racing. The new Losi 22s Sprint car and Traxxas Modifieds are the key to allow us to get this disipline of racing sorted. We have a basic rule set, to allow the numbers to increase and once we hit a mark, we will then open the classes up to allow more mods, but for the time being it's all about box stock racing.
Entry Details
Bring warm clothes, and head torches. It is dark. We will have some pit lighting, but more is good. Power on site.
