Any U4RC events in Australia?

Did a search on Google and everything that came up was at least 2 years ago. Any events coming up? Thanks.

Where are you located? There isn't really much U4 stuff going on here.

Normally Melbourne which I see is where you're from too. But I can travel if that's where the action is.

As far as we know the only thing "running" down here is currently based in Perth but we don't run straight U4RC rules, we used to but have moved away from following exactly how the US guys are going.

We don't have a luxury of a permanent track, we're using temporary locations we've found in bushland area, old gravel pits, picnic area carparks & worn out BMX tracks.
We look for areas with some rock, gravel & dirt, in various mixes, to lay out our tracks. Some are very desert like without much rock, some have a lot of large natural rock areas. We don't get so much of the constructed rock garden areas.
We use ag pipe & long off cuts of truck ratchet straps to mark out tracks. We use the Trackmate timing system the same as most of the US tracks do.

Theres some planning & track building going ahead in Bathurst

And there was FB groups set up for Newcastle, QLD & Tas but so far as we're aware no-one else has tried to run anything on the East Coast.
