Warwick might be getting its very own remote control car club, thanks to Tim Scheele’s willingness to bring his long interest in remote control car racing to life.
Having received multiple phone numbers and names from people interested in joining the club, Tim created Facebook page, ‘Warwick RC Car Club,’ to advertise his idea to a wider audience.
“We’ve got about 35 names and phone numbers on our list so far, and it’s progressing pretty rapidly,” Tim says.
“It’s a really cheap form of racing and it’ll give the kids something else to do on weekends through an activity that involves everyone.”
Tim hopes to use Morgan Park as the racing venue because it allows the use of fuel and doesn’t have any noise restrictions.
However, the official racing venue is yet to be confirmed.
“We’ve been given the support, but at the moment we’re just not really sure where the location would be,” Tim says.
Tim hopes his club will include people from all age brackets, and encourages anyone interested in remote control car racing to get behind the club by liking his Facebook page.
Tim moved from Brisbane to Warwick for cheaper living and found there was nothing really in Warwick that gave kids the opportunity to play with remote control cars in places they wouldn’t receive noise complaints, because some of the petrol cars can get a bit noisy and loud.
“I started by putting an ad on Warwick Classifieds on Facebook and began getting phone numbers and names of people for a list. The list grew and grew, so I made a Facebook page. We’ve got about 35 names and numbers and it’s progressing pretty rapidly,” Tim said.
“Obviously, something like this doesn’t happen overnight, it takes a bit of time to get everyone together. But we’re aiming at all age groups, from kids to old blokes.”
