The club starts the season at Pakenham, on Sunday March 1, 2026.
WHEN
Sunday, March 1 2026, 10:00 – 16:00 (end time may vary, pending numbers)
WHERE
Location: Waterford Rise Gardens, 9 The Circuit, Pakenham VIC 3810
G Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RBAYqXa6hTcxgcKT9
PARKING
Parking is along nearby streets around the rock garden. Please be mindful of not parking in people’s driveways or too near corners. The Circuit has a public bus route, so please leave enough room for the bus to squeeze through!
Help us not wear out our welcome with the locals: please don’t park along the side of the comp area. It isn’t legal (adjacent an intersection) and some locals have taken issue with it in the past. For the sake of this and future comps, gear drop-off is fine but please then park down a nearby street, or further along, away from the intersection if there’s space. Thank you!
TOILETS & FOOD
There are toilets just down the road, a couple minutes walk, at the playground by the lake. Shops and cafes are 5 mins drive away. There are no toilets directly onsite.
NOTES
- Dress for the forecast weather, bring water and have a plan for if it rains (we’ll still run).
- UPDATE: it’s going to be torrentially wet. We’ll run until it starts raining hard, then we’ll call it (safety may become an issue, etc.)
- Rocks can be slippery; boots or closed shoes are advisable.
- There are no bins here. Please carry out what you carry in.
- Lastly, we’re in a public area surrounded by houses. We’ll have signage up for the club. Please be mindful of the locals’ expectation of peace and driveway access. Thank you!
COST – $0*
*$0 for first-time visitors. If you’re a regular, read on:
MCC Inc. has secured insurance and after a unanimous vote at 2025’s AGM, we’ve moved forward with implementing paid membership.
Everyone enjoys a free month from date of sign-up, enabling newcomers to test the waters before committing. Memberships are $60/yr for individuals and $80/yr for families (defined as family members in the same home). We hope that the $5/mth membership cost is affordable, whilst helping us build the club into something that can serve the RC crawling community better every year.
We’ll have this QR code at the comp site for easy check-in and registration, or you can get ahead of the curve and sign up today here.
RIG PREP
Learn more about vehicle classes here. Rules are here. (Recently updated. No stress today, don’t worry – you have time to adjust to any updates or changes).
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! 🙂
