4orce Slot Racing

4orce Slot Racing 4orce Raceway is currently closed whilst we build the new shed at Bahrs Scrub. Keep checking in as we post progress & racing at other tracks.

It will be bigger & better than ever once finished, catering for 1:32, 1:24 scale, flexi & Aussie Retro. Most adults can remember racing slot cars as kids and all the fun of imagining you're racing the real thing. Bonogin Valley Raceway (BVR) is a privately run, not for profit, facility with 2 great tracks available for use. No club exists, just a group of enthusiasts racing scale cars in both 1:3

2 & 1:24 scales. Located in the Gold Coast suburb of Bonogin it's a leisurely drive 15 minutes from both M1 exits 79 and 82. Mark Stockwell, the owner and founder of BVR, comes from a 1:1 motor racing background and is still actively involved in the officiating of motorsport events to an international level. As a young child Mark was introduced to slot car racing by his father, as most kids were back then. Mark's goal is to share both his passions of motorsport and slot car racing with his ever growing group of friends. BVR does not get run as a club but has organised race meetings fortnightly. Each scale, 1:24 & 1:32, are run twice per month with 1:32 being 1st and 3rd Saturday afternoons and 1:24 rotates with 2 other tracks in SEQ but resulting in 2 Wednesday evenings per month. Whereas BVR can help you source cars it does not hold a large range but does try to keep most consumable parts in stock. The track runs on a donation basis which helps to maintain the facility for all to use. If you would like to rekindle the the slot car passion from your youth or get involved for the first time feel free to message Mark at BVR for details...

Yesterday Seagulls Slotcars hosted an endurance race for Scaleauto GT and Hypercars. They raced head to head and the results were so close. Most of us tried to get the new hypercar to a point we were comfortable racing it but with years of development already on the GTs they were the choice of 6 of the 8 teams (capped at 8). The hypercar was much nicer to drive but marginally slower, ours 1/2 a tenth per lap, which adds up over the course of the race.

Nick and I had a fantastic first outing in the new 4orce Raceway club shirts with a 4 lap (about 25 seconds) win after 140 minutes (7 lanes at 20 minutes / 10 per driver per lane). Second in was Ken and Rick who were finishing very strongly on the fastest of the 7 lanes but finishing just shy. Grant and Ash were the first hypercar home only 1 lap (less than 7 seconds) behind second. Incredibly close racing with no room for error from any team.

A big thanks to Kim from Seagulls for his continued support of our racing and helping keep our classes running while 4orce Raceway is being built. Also a huge thank you to Gerald (PRD Southport) and Grant (Ray White Mermaid Beach) for sponsoring the day. Nick who is just a whizz at setting up race cars, both big and little!! Nothing left to chance with our car meaning all we had to do was drive consistently.

We’re hoping to run a 2 hour endurance for the Scaleauto Hypercars later in the year at 4orce Raceway. It will be great to get to race these cars on a level playing field. More details will become available once a completion date is at hand for our track.

Slowly but surely, things are happing to get the new facility built. Earthworks started Thursday. The 2 old stumps shown were well over 2t and unfortunately took out power and the comms line to the house. Currently without power but hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻we’ll be back on by Wednesday.

We’re still a way off but getting the rough cuts in place ready for “all systems go” once the formal approval comes through.

Part of order No1 for the 1:24 Scaleauto Hypercars has arrived. These cars will form a regular class on our 1:24 scale nights at the new facility at Bahrs Scrub. They have fantastic detail and finish and will be run essentially straight out of the box. Only items that will be open are gearing, braids, guide shoe, axles (3mm only) and bearings. These are to accommodate preference of brand.
Wheels/tyres 21x13mm rim rear with tyres 25mm diameter minimum 13mm width maximum. Front, 21x7mm rim and 25x7mm tyres.
Ground clearance 1mm minimum.
A lightweight interior comes in the kit, this can replace the fitted plastic interior but the hard plastic windows/windshield must remain.

The idea is to make the class even and affordable to a new person starting.
