We are already down a couple of people in the \u2018teams\u2019 due to a mix of the flu (and one who decided a bed and breakfast in a vineyard was better than slot car racing \u2013 seriously?) so we have some teams who may be looking for a fourth member and we have racing room for another team or two if you can find three mates or just see who is there tomorrow and join in with the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, for those who love a good coffee, head out to the Rezz for a coffee or breakfast with the Clubbies crew at 0900 before we head across to Scalex World for 10am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$20 per head gets you track hire, a car and a controller!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You club needs you!
