.:: AUTUMN PRESENTATION NIGHT
::.
20/08/2008

The Autumn Presentation night is again being held at the Nepean Rowing Club - Bruce Neale Drive, Emu Plains. The Bistro opens at 6.00pm with the trophy presentation starting around 8.00pm. Drivers are welcome to bring family and friends along for a fun night out.


.:: CHANGES FOR 2008 SPRING
::.
20/08/2008

There are once again a few changes for the next Championship. The main one, is an increase to the entry fees across all divisions and packages. Increased costs from SIRC have left PDNR with no option but to pass on the increase to drivers. The increase was absorbed by the club for the Autumn Championship, but starting with the Spring Championship and increase will occur. Download an entry form for the 2008 Spring Championsip - Word.doc or Adobe.pdf for more information.

Rnd 4 2008 PDNR DRAG SERIES ::.

Rnd 4 of the 2008 PDNR Drag Series ran like clock work.

When Graham and Rod Broke the 100 kms/Hr early in PDNR's Drag racing History we thought this was great. But hasn't the benchmark been moved since then. With Dragster Leigh "Quick as Flash" Naylor breaking 120km/h in the 1/4 finals, unfortunately he was 0.033 too quick out of the Hole giving him a Red Light and eliminating him for the night.

Leigh currently holds 3 Records, Click Here. We do hope he can run 120 km/h again at Rnd 5 on 30th August 2008.

Well done to Corey Fraser, Jake Cash, Jim Brown and Dave Bush who acheived their First Wins for the 2008 Championship.

Full results can be seen here, Click Here

It was good to also see some new faces on the Strip. Hope to see even more at Rnd 5, when the weather warms up a little.

.:: PDNR WORKING BEE - HELP REQUIRED
- MAY 25 ::.

PDNR are holding a working bee on Sunday May 25 and the committee are seeking the help of all PDNR members (and any other volunteers that may be available). The track equipment is in desperate need of a overhaul and a good tidy up, especially with preparations well under way for the biggest event ever to grace PDNR - The 2008 Winter Champs (June 27 - 29)

The Working Bee is being held at the Sydney Internation Regatta Centre over at the clubs shipping container (near SIRC maintenance sheds - if you don't know where that is, head towards the P5 RTA car park - South bank - and keep going past the sky diving marquee) There will be many jobs that need hands so the more helpers the better - even if you can only spare an hour, it all adds up!

If you would like more information or have access to equipment that may assist with the maintenance, please see a PDNR committee member.


.:: PDNR LAUNCH NEW CONTROL CLASS
::.

PDNR are about to again test the waters of a control class. The 2008 Autumn Championship, which starts on May 20 (Round 1) will accommodate a class based solely for the EDAM Exer 1/8 scale on-road car. Preparations for many drivers are well under way with several of these cars already competing in the current Open Pan division. It should be great to see some close racing between drivers all using the same equipment, and the major supporter of the class, JPM Racing (who are a club sponsor and impoerter of the EDAM Exer) have donated an EDAM Razor as a type of lucky entry prize for the class. More information is available by downloading the flyer.



.:: PDNR TO HOST 2008 WINTER CHAMPS
::.

The 2008 Winter Champs, the sister event to the Summer Nats which are organised and promoted each year by Racing Lines magazine, will be held for the first time at PDNR. Naturally PDNR are excited to announce that they have been given the opportunity to host this major event, and are looking forward to putting on a great meeting - as PDNR have a reputation of doing! More information will be available closer to the date, but make yourself available on June 28 (GP - Nitro) and June 29 (EP), with Practice scheduled for Friday June 27.

PDNR will be calling on help from Members to assist with many duties on both the Saturday and Sunday, so if you are able to volunteer your services for this event, please talk to Race Control.
