Battle of Brighton Mini-Z Event
What a great event, the organizers and sponsors did a fabulous job. Thank you for all the effort that everyone put in to getting the track, setting it up, running races, tearing down the track and returning it to the rightful people. Can’t wait for the next event!

Kingston Scale Auto Model Club Demo day
Attended the K.S.A.M.C. flea market today at the 560 Legion on Montreal Street and had a great time meeting a lot of the vendors there and showing off the Kingston Mini-Z Club.
Had several people stop in and say hi as well as try the cars out, flyers and business cards went out as they were freely available for the taking. Some oohs and ahhs over the scale auto bodies from Kyosho.
Looking forward to attending more events such as this.

Summer Sizzler Event Update
Well into the planning of the event!
We’ve received some great donations from an event Sponsor for the crowd at the event. Huge shout out to Echelon Hobbies for their generous contributions.
Secondly, all the trophies are ready to disseminate to the appropriate persons come end of racing. Thank you Darcy Shaver!
Thirdly, TQ now gets a trophy and a gift card for Echelon Hobbies.
The 50/50 tickets are ready to go out as purchased.
Tickets for the NSX Raffle items are ready to go as purchased (Mini-Z Ready Set, car stand, transponder, springs, t-plates, front and rear rubber) – $20 each ticket. Thank you to Brad Halstead for putting this ready to race (just add batteries and charger) package together.
2 different layouts have been created, subject to space available will depend on which layout is used.
The plan is to build, vacuum, & steam clean the track and let it rest overnight unused till the morning of the event. The setup will be done in front of the drivers stand so all drivers will have an elevated view of the track. Lower level of the driver stand only allowed to be used. Upper level will be closed to use.
A table with laptop (timing system), printer and chair will be set up near the track to print out heat results for posting on bulletin board after each round. Thank you to Kingston RC Raceway for the use of the facility and use of all the things.
There will be no practice Friday night or Racing on Saturday night.
Looking forward to having you there!

Race 17 of the Summer Series
Last race of the series is completed. Next week the Summer Sizzler event!
A great night of racing, the 25 blank tile kit really helped the main straight and exit corner to give the cars some leg room to stretch out. Definitely a good choice for a track upgrade..
Video’s are posted and the playlist is here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLldnESoynyQSwb_Ws8juBpfKQ-kwOQMxY&si=-F_8n9KbgUcDe6zU

Bindery Speedway – Campbellford
Had a great day of racing at Bindery Speedway on Sunday September 15th, 2024.
Nice permanent setup track up on the mezzanine. Uses Next Level Timing system for practice, qualifiers and mains. Has a drivers stand, air compressor and pit stands with power around the track.
Great group of folks there with Friday’s being their main race day, Sunday is more of a come out and who ever is here we will practice and race. The track layout is changed quite regularly but not too often!
