The Ninco 6 lane 26 metre
race track is available for Birthday Party hire.
Up to 12 racers may be invited
to a party booking. Those not racing can marshal ie: putting cars
back on the track.
The track speed can be turned
down and when racers are more comfortable handling the cars the
speed can be turned up. You should expect after 1 hour to be racing
at under 8 seconds per lap.
The minimum age for birthday
parties is 5 years. Inexperienced children 8 years and under are
usually unable to marshal correctly and therefore will require
assistance from adults for the marshaling role.
We recommend 2 adults be
present at the party.
Tips for racing:
- Initially
all racers should have practice runs on the track.
- Where there are more than 6 racers we suggest "crash and
burn". 6 persons race whilst the other guests marshal. As
a racer crashs a marshal takes over racing from that lane. We
suggest the group moves in a clockwise direction.
- Once all racers are comfortable you can then run short race
events including best of a determined number of laps; last 'man'
standing etc.
Near the end of your booking we will have the computer run the
10 lap race. Here the computer will control the track and the
results will be displayed on the monitor. Where there are more
than 6 racers we suggest splitting your group into 2, and the
3 quickest racers from each group then race in a final 10 lap
race.

Please note that there are some days they are not available and
they must be requested at the time of your booking.

The use of tables and chairs, fridge/freezer,
hot plates (popular for heating frankfurts for hot-dogs) and microwave
oven are available for birthday party bookings. The tables and
chairs are set up under our covered outdoor area. You may decorate
this area if you wish. The detailed pictures above will give you
some idea of how other groups have decorated the area. If the
table and chairs are required for your function please ensure
you request these at the time of your booking.
As we do not provide food you are welcome
to bring your own or have it delivered. You may bring your food
prior to your function and have us store it in the fridge. Please
also bring any cooking/serving utensils you will require.
We recommend plenty of drinks and/or watery type fruit ie. watermelon;
oranges; grapes etc due to the usual "overuse" of vocal
chords.
Chilled cans of soft drinks and water are available for sale.
Please note that alcohol may not be consumed on our premises.
Party bags are also available. These hand packed bags include
a variety of chocolates and lollies from leading manufacturers.
The Party bags must be ordered at least one week prior to your
function and are available for $3.00 each.
As we have limited garbage facilities we
would ask that you take with you any rubbish generated by your
group.
Some groups have some great idea's. We
list them as they may be of interest to you:
- rather than give each child a party bag at the end of the party,
give each child a T-Shirt with a car theme at the start of the
party.We have had guests who simply purchased T-Shirts and then
printed the design themselves on transfer paper purchased from
a computer shop and ironed the design onto the T-Shirt. Our favourite
was the party where all the boys (and Dad's) wore a red Ferrari
T-Shirt.
- suggest that each guest pool what they would have spent on a
gift and purchase a slot car set for the birthday child to take
home.
