Welcome to Meyerton RC Clubs’ Website, please feel free to browse our site for upcoming events and archives of past events.
A bit of background info: The founding meeting was held at the home of Henry Ogden, that is adjacent to the tracks, on December 10 th 2008.
This race meeting was scheduled for March 22nd, and although it was quite wet, the computer was loaded with 19 entries. Water was swept off the track and the race started. Then the rain returned and the drivers began to doubt whether they should continue to race. A couple of guys went on racing, but with more and more rain pouring down, we stopped the race after one round of qualifiers.We then arranged a re-run for March 29th.
After spending thousands of rands on soil, labouring on the track for months on end and painting after-hours, painting in the heat, actually painting every available moment, our track was finally ready for the 1st off-road National event of the year. And with the promise of assistance from quite a few club members, we were ready for the Nationals, come what may! (Maybe I should have started with the pre-Nats, two weeks prior to the Nats, when the track’s surface was as near to perfect as can be, but by then the painting wasn’t done yet.) Anyway, when the 1st cars and caravans pulled in at the track Thursday afternoon, we were ready for them.
Meyerton Raceway recently hosted a very successful Tamiya Cup. The excitement built up as Henry and his team prepared the track for this prestigious event on the On Road calendar.
