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.
Another pleasant day was had by all in Sunny South Africa! More specifically, in Meyerton Gauteng.
At the track, we were spoilt with excellent weather. Even our current “ice block woman” Esmarie got rid of her jacket quite early in the morning.. And THAT tells a story on its own.
Track owner, Henry Ogden, happy and satsified with the new LiveTime timing system.
We were a bit more confident with the new timing system, after Henry and André spent many more hours doing dummy races with it. The race went almost flawless. Seeing that we sort of expected a couple more hiccups, we are now actually super chuffed with the way things went on this race meeting. But eish, when trying to publish the results later that evening, we had to call Andre again for assistance. Thank you, André.
News Maker of the day:
Newby Charl de Lange made his 1st ever appearance in a RC race. As there were no other Beginners, he was put straight into the TTO1 class. And oh boy, did he make an impression?! See TTO1 results.
Best Presented RC body of the day went to Piet du Toit. Congratulations!
