Our 2026 HO season kicks off on Wednesday with an evening of high-speed WHO Mod and WHO Tuners action on our four-lane Rattlesnake Raceway, the first time we've used it for a Mod race...

   

Doors open at 6.15 for practice, with the heats scheduled to start just before 7. We aim to finish all the finals by 9.30pm. Race fees remain £3 for adults and £2 for under-16s, with an HO season costing £32 up-front for 12 races and the test night. An under-16 HO season ticket is £21.

There are some big changes to our WHO Mod events this year. Although the cars will look very familiar with the lexan-bodied Mods and hard-bodied Tuners, things are very different underneath...

In WHO Mod, only the Viper V-SPEC and Bulldog BDR chassis are eligible. The Viper must run Pro4 traction and motor magnets and the Bulldog can run either the N42 or N35 traction magnets available from Slot Cars Direct. Otherwise, the rules are the same - armatures must be 6 ohm or higher and unmodified. We can help you change the magnets in your Viper and Pete has plenty of Pro4 traction magnets in the club shop.

WHO Tuners is also restricted to two chassis - the Bulldog BDR (with N35 traction magnets only) and the AFX Mega-G+ (long and short wheelbases). Pete has plenty of Bulldog chassis and parts for sale in the club shop. Those running in Tuners this season will also be awarded full Club championship points - so the winners of both Mod and Tuners with score 160 points towards the WHO Club championship.
