Looks Like HSC is Almost Done

Just got off the phone with the landlord and it looks like the proposed sale is happening, the minimum operating time left is 6 months or if the sale and submission of plans to council holds up proceedings: a year at the most . No way I can keep operating with the amount of rent being charged for a ...

Retro Nats 2019

A few boundaries for the running of this event, as I can no longer support another (physically or materially) failed Small Track Retro Event: A minimum of 4 racers required for a race- no qualifying, no trophies and a $10.00 entry fee per class. A minimum of 8 racers required for a race, qualifying,...

Re: Houston, We May Have a Problem

The Cheetah II motor has been discontinued, is no longer available from the Australian Distributor and is not being produced by Plafit. It has been replaced by the Cheetah IV motor, which is the new spec motor for Aussie Retro on the Hornsby Slot Car road course. It is OK if people still have Cheeta...

RETRO FINAL ROUND FOR 2013

Just a short note to offer a huge thank you to Garry Johnson for his superlative work in completing the renovations to my Road Course and congratulations to Mark Fox in completing a new track record in Saturday's Coupes race (182 laps!

Re: Aussie Retro F1 Regs.

At the time the original rules were created, there were no JK tyres available at HSC. The spec was set based on a certain chassis width and the Piranha tyre. As far as I know, just about everyone is using JK tyres now, since I have taken over. I guess the discussion is renewed if a new rim becomes a...

Re: Aussie Retro F1 Regs.

Aussie Retro rules may be found on the Hornsby Slot Car website, and are fairly up to date. With regards to the amendment on the rear width (now 81mm) for Canam: it was made to accommodate the new JK rims and has nothing to do with Troy!
