It's been an amazing Summer run, but now we head indoors to carry on racing while winter breathes the cold and wet over our fair region, and we carry on our amazing relationship with Manawatu Cricket in 2026.
Touring cars are now restricted to Torque Tuned Brushed motors or 21.5T brushless. Tires are also open, any kind of mini-pin are best. Track has large "step" so don't run them to low.
The RETRO RALLY CLASS based on Mini chassis. Minilites and Mini rally blocks (Tamiya 51427) are the control tires. We encourage period paints, spotlights etc to make these look cool.
Our Popular SuperTruck class will be a single class this year, the onus on fun and laughter in the best indoor class! The Annual 2 hour truck race at round.4 always brings out the best in everyone. We have trucks in stock if you want to join the fun!!!
17.5 Buggy is now reverted to separate classes. 2WD or 4WD or both depending on your preference. Start order is based around fastest lap times after R1.
Trucks are back to separate classes after the growth of summer. Tire are open.
And of course our Juniors are always our main stay and we have races for you as well to enjoy the winter racing.

Please try and get your entries in early so we can get them entered up to be able to start on time.
