Kraaifontein RC Track’s facility started off as an overgrown Port Jackson bush area, but by early 2008 the area had been cleared and we held the first official RC races with 8th scale buggies and truggies. However, after putting months of work and thousands of rands into the facility, we soon found out the area was prone to flooding during the winter months, which meant that we could not make use to the facility for up to four months of the year. For this reason it was decided to convert the 8th scale off-road track to a dirt oval track, that was raised and banked so as to help with the flooding issue we had experienced during the winter months.This change to the track also allowed us to race both 8th scale and 5th scale off-road cars on the same track.
