Dandenong's Michael Clark. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

FAST things come in small packages with radio-controlled cars, and
Dandenong enthusiast Michael Clark (above) was hoping his shiny machine
would steer him on the road to golden glory at an Australasian
championship.

Drivers from Australia and around the world competed at
Dandenong District Netball Stadium on July 5-7, in an event hosted by
the South Eastern Radio-Controlled Car Club.

The cars were carefully
weighed and measured before racing but details about their build were
shielded from the prying eyes of competitors and the public.
