Slot Car Club Raceway
I am planning to build & establish a Slot Car Race Track Club Raceway located at my Lifestyle Property half way between Pukekohe and Waiuku.
I am seeking expressions of interest for like minded people of all ages to join in with the design and build of the 100-120 foot long race track and learn how to build and race slot cars. Slot Car Racing is a fantastic and fun hobby for little cost and great reward.
We are planning to hold regular race meetings for various scale classes of 1/32nd and 1/24th scale race cars.
There are just 2 clubs running in Auckland at Henderson and Albany, but nobody in Franklin / South Auckland districts.
Typical Race Lap times between 2.2 sec for Wing Cars and 4-5 sec per GT / Saloon class if you are good enough?.

Please reply to this notice or email donrailton98@gmail.com if you want to consider joining this newly established racing club. (name yet to be penned)

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
