It will be bigger & better than ever once relocated, catering for 1:32, 1:24 scale, flexi & Aussie Retro. Most adults can remember racing slot cars as kids and all the fun of imagining you're racing the real thing. Bonogin Valley Raceway (BVR) is a privately run, not for profit, facility with 2 great tracks available for use. No club exists, just a group of enthusiasts racing scale cars in both 1:
32 & 1:24 scales. Located in the Gold Coast suburb of Bonogin it's a leisurely drive 15 minutes from both M1 exits 79 and 82. Mark Stockwell, the owner and founder of BVR, comes from a 1:1 motor racing background and is still actively involved in the officiating of motorsport events to an international level. As a young child Mark was introduced to slot car racing by his father, as most kids were back then. Mark's goal is to share both his passions of motorsport and slot car racing with his ever growing group of friends. BVR does not get run as a club but has organised race meetings fortnightly. Each scale, 1:24 & 1:32, are run twice per month with 1:32 being 1st and 3rd Saturday afternoons and 1:24 rotates with 2 other tracks in SEQ but resulting in 2 Wednesday evenings per month. Whereas BVR can help you source cars it does not hold a large range but does try to keep most consumable parts in stock. The track runs on a donation basis which helps to maintain the facility for all to use. If you would like to rekindle the the slot car passion from your youth or get involved for the first time feel free to message Mark at BVR for details...
