Wow big push today, much bigger day than I thought it would be but great to smash it out. Many thanks to Mike for installing the new water line and two new taps so we can run two watering hoses or two sprinklers. Also thanks to Stihl Shop Masterton Hire shop for sponsoring the trench digger, it’s awesome to have local support to help us do what we do. Thanks Andrew Dudley for bringing your tipper truck and your time, and to the young fellas Spencer, Charlie and Ryan, you boys worked hard all day, I was thoroughly impressed.

Today we had a good clean up of the track, with mowing, raking up leaves, removing rocks, tidying the back of the berm and scraping off the last of the grass on the new chicane. Charlie and Spencer both did their bit on the ride-on lawnmower packing in different areas and all 3 boys helped Mike Andrew and I with whatever we needed all day which was awesome.

We also ran a new timing loop under the track using conduit to protect the wire and terminating the hook-up point at a handy in-ground access box. We tested the loop and it is working perfectly, so she’s all ready for next Saturday’s super5 round.

The Super5 entries are starting to stack up with lots of top talent already locking in. Aside from Nationals, these super5 rounds are proving to be an event that brings together the top 1/10 outdoor off-road competitors from around the north island. If you want to be part of a top level double header event weekend that caters to all and promises to deliver amazing racing you need to be at MRC and Raukawa International Raceway this weekend Sat and Sun 30th & 31st of May. Entry links below.

With our new location at the Solway Showgrounds Masterton A & P Association we can also offer powered camping sites with access to toilets and showers for $10 a night so if you want to stay Friday or Saturday night on site you are more than welcome. Message or phone the Showgrounds to book a spot.

Lastly our track will be open Friday from 11am-3.30pm for any early birds wanting to get familiar with the track.

Have a great rest of your weekend everyone and don’t miss out.

Matt and the MRC Crew.

Sup RC homies.

Super 5 is coming up fast so make sure your entries are in and also worth double checking your entry if you signed up early as I may have deleted it 😅.

Over the last fortnight we have been chipping away at modifying the far right side of the track by adding a chicane after the double doubles that flows into what used to be the hip jump, now a nice table top. This change has made that side of the track more dynamic and should make for some fun racing.

Tonight I was able to rotary hoe the new chicane which chris had sprayed last week and use the mighty hi-ace to pack her down. This Saturday we will continue to prep for super 5 with a working bee from 10:30am. We will be laying a new water line putting a fresh timing loop in and having a general tidy up so if you are around come and lend a hand and for those of you who do help out, you are welcome to have a skid afterwards.

Have a good rest of your week and see you all in 10 days for an epic super5!!

Hey team hope we’re all having a good week. Just a quick post to mention a few things.

Firstly, now that we have lost those lovely long evenings to the approaching winter we will be putting our Tuesday arvo practices on hold. We will start em up again when daylight savings kicks back in.

Secondly if you would like to practice at the track on your own time you can buy a cheap winter pass from Showgrounds office for $25 however on 1st of Jan all passes will expire and you will need to buy a yearly pass for $80 for an individual or $110 for family. It has been a bit messy in regards to these passes with our transition from Manaia road to Showgrounds and we have tested out a daylight savings pass but discovered the yearly pass is really the way to go so that will be the only available option as of 1st Jan.

Thirdly we have our double header Super5 weekend on 30/31st of May that runs at ours on the Saturday and Raukawa on the Sunday. Entry link below.
