Yes. The Phoenix Slot Car Group Melbourne takes great pride in promoting a fun and relaxed atmosphere and therefore prefer members

most exotic high performance slot cars. Brands include: Scalextric, SCX, FLY, Carrera, Slot it, Slotter, Revell, MRRC, Ninco,
MMK, Ostorero, Pink Kar, Vanquish, Auto Art and even Scratch Built models.

for car images.
How often do you race?
Generally, race events are held on Fridays or Saturdays. ( track owners discretion ). Starting times can vary between afternoon or
evening and generally include a BBQ. These events normally don’t require much setup, however if non track owners wish to step forward
and select the classes and run the night, then they are more than welcome to do so.
For those interested we also race 1:24 scale slotcars with Plafit
chassis on Tuesday nights.
Can I have a go before I join?
Yes. We allow new members to participate at the cost of $2.00 per attendance. ( plus $5.00 if we have a BBQ ). After you have attended 3
race events you will be asked to join and pay the Membership Fee.
Note: The club reserves the right to decline your application to become a member if we feel that you do not
promote our philosophy as outlined in our Code of Conduct.
What types of events do you run?
We run a variety of racing events such as: Team Racing, Fuel Racing, Timed Racing, Crash'n Burn and even just plain old Lap Times. No matter
the event, we guarantee that you will have fun.

Do you hold classes to help beginners?
Yes. We hold regular Fix it nights in order to assist those members wishing to learn the tips and techniques on tuning
their cars. ( Free )
What type of tracks do you have and can I see them?
We run proper Routed Wooden Tracks as apposed to the old Click together tracks. This prevents warps and twists resulting in much
smoother and better
racing.
