RCAWD & Boom Racing present Melbourne Comp Crawlers’ ROUND 6 crawl meet for 2024! Last one for the year, this will be a bit different to any we’ve done before: Saturday AND Sunday!
So, once again, a bunch of us like-minded hobbyists will be enjoying some time on the rocks with our crawlers. You’re welcome to join us to run some courses and just hang out at Cairn Curran reservoir, on the Loddon River, Baringhup, over the weekend of 23-24th November 2024.
** As always, your safety is your responsibility! **
We’ll be on public land and just driving toy trucks together. This is not any kind of official event. Rocks can be slippery. It’ll be hot (but possibly cold at this time of year 🤷♂️) and possibly wet. If you have a child and/or pet with you, their supervision and safety is completely your responsibility. Please be careful!

PARKING
There’s plenty of parking in the nearby parking area. We’ll be operating about 5 minutes’ walk from this location, which is more like 10 to 15 from the van park, which is across the bridge but still nearby. From the car park, head for the dam, basically. Can’t miss us!
TOILETS & FOOD
Those of us camping will have the Loddon House Holiday Park facilities available. Day visitors can find a public toilet block on 39 Alfred St, Baringhup, just a little way up the road.
Maldon is 20 minutes’ drive from Baringhup and has a bunch of food options. BYO is suggested for the weekend.
NOTES
- Dress for summer, bring water and have a plan for if it rains (we’ll still run some courses).
- Rocks can be slippery when wet or dry and a fall often means a cut knee or hand.
- Boots or closed shoes are advisable.
- There are no bins here. Please carry out what you carry in.
COST – $0
CLASSES & SCHEDULE
We’ll be running probably 4 classes for this one: Mini & Scale-1 on Saturday, and then Performance Scale and Tuff Truck on Sunday. If there’s interest, we can run Pro MOA and Sportsman as well.
We’ll aim to run all-day courses for all classes. A few of us will set-up early, mark the courses, and then you can find a friend or two and run together and score each other over the day. No stress, no rush, no disappointment!
Driver briefing will be at 9.30am both days.
Here’s what you need to do when you arrive:
- Complete a waiver form. This is required to participate in this event, even if you’ve filled one in before.
- Get your car/s to the briefing area to have them checked and cleared to run.
- Find a person or people to score your runs. The aim is to take turns driving and scoring with each other/your group. We’ll be using crawlerresults.com. Site password will be available on the day.
- Run your car/s in the appropriate courses for your class. Have fun!
All classes will have 5 unique courses to run. They’ll be marked clearly from #1 to #5. Be sure to match this with your scoring on crawlerresults.com when doing your runs.

With all courses set for the day, you should be free to run whatever you’ve got in whatever order you like, whenever you like. Come back to the briefing area or find the MCC guys (Craig, Martin, Simon, Toby, Adam) if you need a hand, directions, first aid, life advice or to discuss Vanquish vs Axial for P/Scale. If you’re in doubt about what class your rig/s will suit, ask in the FB group and/or just turn up on the day. We’ll work it out! 🙂
