About Us:
Perth
Radio Electric Car Club is a radio controlled electric car club, racing on-road
electric touring cars indoors on carpet. Perth Radio Electric
Car Club, or PRECC in short, celebrated 20 years of operation in 2003. Founded
in 1983, attendance averaged 12 drivers per week and now 20 years later the club
has grown substantially, and in 2007 the average was 35 to 45 drivers of all ages every week. Racing is held on
Tuesday nights, doors open at 5.30pm where it is all hands on deck for track
setup, with driver nominations from about 6pm, and racing commencing at
7.00pm.
The last race usually finishes at around 10.00pm, were all hands on deck to pack
up as quickly as possible.
On an
average night we have either 5 or 6 classes of racing controlled by our fully automated
computer equipment using "Alycat RC Timing Software" and "AMB-i.t. Timing
Equipment".
Our motto, 'In The Spirit Of Fairness' governs us in the way that our club is run.
Every decision that is made relates to these words of wisdom to ensure that the
best is achieved from both Driver and Club. Here at PRECC we have many futuristic plans for the next 10 years, planning to grow in
drivers and strength and to become a host of World Class events. We plan to
build and run our own full time complex complete with indoor and covered outdoor tracks
for both On and Off road racing featuring a Pro Shop & Service Centre.
All
our Class now use only Rubber Tyres. Our club rules are based on AARCMCC rules.

been approved by AARCMCC, but PRECC is allowing them on club nights only.
Modified
Touring class is an open motor class, whether it be Brushed or Brushless. Spectators are in awe at
