Slot cars

We’re going Slot car racing at Checkered Flag, Perth's premier slot car raceway. This will be our second visit, we had our first competion in July 2008, see http://mx5club.com.au/pastevents.php?eitem=2008072300 for event photo's.
Slot cars are scale model vehicles powered by a small hobby-type DC electric motor. They use a front-mounted guide pin or flag to ride in a slot on a scale race course or track. The vehicle's speed is controlled by the racer (you) via a controller to navigate the different areas of the track such as the curves and bends in the course's layout.
We have booked for from 7:30 PM for 1˝ hours of racing on the eight lane, 42 metre road course, and after everyone has got in a couple of practice laps there will be a competition using computerised timing.
Checkered Flag is at 5/1909 Albany Highway, Maddington (in Olga Road opposite McDonalds). Cost is $10 each, BYO drinks, there is coffee and food at the McCafe across the road!
Most importantly, places are limited to 18 members only, so E-mail Social@MX5Club.com.au ASAP to register your interest.
