Indoor Vintage racing-Melbourne Australia, Adrenalin Arena

Post by midse »

Hi,
For the Aussies in Melbourne, There is weekly indoor off road carpet racing at Adrenalin Arena, 9 swift Way, Dandenong. It's a purpose built 1/10 on road and off road venue. It's high bite asphalt for on road and they lay down carpet/jumps for off road.

I picked up a RC10 Stealth and raced it 2 nights ago in the Vintage Comp class (17.5 Brushless or equivalent brushed allowed) There is also a Vintage classic class which is for silver can motors only - borught back memories seeing 9 Tamiya's and an Optima Mid race with whining silver can motors:) . Both Vintage classes had full fields, In fact most other classes were full - some were double fields. There is also colts (juniors) 2wd stock/open, 4wd ( if numbers allow) 2wd and 4wd SC in stock and open

Dust off your shelfy, dig out the old boxes and blow off the dust and come racing.

I raced in a 24hr on road enduro at Adrenalin in Feb - what a blast. Apparently a few international teams have shown interest for next years event. They may even hold an off road enduro too.

Every Wednesday night off road racing starts at 7pm - register by 6.30pm
Selected Saturday racing starts at about 2pm.

Every Tuesday and Friday has on road starting a 7pm
The South Eastern RC Car Club - serccc.com - also uses the venue for fortnightly club racing on Sundays and state/national comp events.

Here is a few links to Adrenalin's site ( They'll be hosting the Aussie round of the Asia Onroad Champs )
The only video of the current layout is for 2wd open. I'll link some vintage footage after the next race.

Oh yeah forgot to mention - the winner of 2wd mod also won the Vintage race, driving an improved RC10 classic box art :)

I came 2nd:) Not bad for a 30 year old car with leaking shocks and unsuited tyres. I had to cut spikes out of the front ribs just to get terrible grip. I had one race with a b44.2 a few months ago on the same track. My RC10 drives very well considering......

Have to go now, off to another race at Adrenalin for the SERCCC Easter Egg Bash

No other racing until Tuesday noght (on road) The Easter Egg dash went well tonight. Grabbed second place against a guy who uses a cheater trinity/fantom killshot or something like that. At the end of it all there was an "all in" handicapped standing start single lap to hit a huge chocolate easter egg in the middle of the the straight. Open, 13.5,17.5,21.5....everybody. It was carnage, and i managed to win a very broken chocolate egg:)
