FAQ:

But I have another competition licence? thats ok we will accept them as well.

Blah Blah, Passengers? No

What is Motorkhana? A series of short tight manouvering tests with the winner decided on the lowest total time, taking the best time from each test ran. The corners are marked by flags wich will be approx. 1m tall.

Car Restrictions?If your imports all busted up at the shop, bring your girlfriends car, you can both have a laugh! There is Scrutineering but just to make sure everythings bolted in tight, like batteries, seats and belts. Please be a little sensible in the noise department. Any tyre marked "for racing use only" is banned. Semi-slicks are good, full slicks bad. MUST HAVE EFFECTIVE MUFFLER. If its mech. sound, you can enter it.

Got any Food man? DRIFTMOB will be catering with a bbq all day. And as always, drinks will be on ice all day. As the venue is a Uni, there is no shop/fuel on site.

Ive never competed before... Dont worry, our friendly crew can help you get all of the paperwork in order on the day, and there will be experienced drivers in each category to help you improve your technique throughout the day.

My road licence is suspended/ I havent got one... Its only used for ID, the AASA licence is seperate, like going go karting.

Why do we need this event? Alot of people want higher speed events, and better quality venues, closer to home. Well I have got the keys to the new venue, but with conditions on maximum speed during competition this closes the door on open and flowwing layouts. Never fear, Ive already got my eye on my next venue and new challenge for everyone. Ill keep you posted :P

How should I setup my car? Set it up how you would normally drive it, perhaps on a spare set of tyres. No loose items in your car.

I look forward to seeing heaps of you out there, from beginners to experienced speed freaks. Entries will be capped at 45 to ensure everyone gets a good go. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] and book a spot, Or if you just want some more information dont hesitate to ask. Working on a couple of event sponsors at the moment, and may be able to run a best presented award or two, but more on that later.

Put the dates in your diary, and be sure to bring yourself out for a day of fast fun.

Yours in Skids,

Smokin Scotty

As this isnt a race circuit, there isnt actually testing equiptment to prove you are over the 90db limit as per the regs.

The state motorkhana series runs at the same venue a fair bit, and there is generally a few noisy ones turn up. the uni's normally deserted and the comp surface is out the back so to speak.

Id suggest come and give it a shot, but dont get on gate anywhere in the venue other than during each test.

Yeah, went to a texi as a spectator, and had planned to do something quite similar

however the venue is getting nervous about top speeds, and have put a 70km/hr limit on the venue. During comp. Securing the dates was conditional, and the only way I could secure bookings was by agreeing to run CAMS tests.

Nirimba are very anti-drift, as they associate drift with high speed etc, but having done several motorkhanas in drift mode, its a neat way to fly under the radar, and fine tune car control skills.

My next little project will be American style Autocross events which will cater for higher speeds, but it will be run at another venue Im negotiating with. The Idea behind this series is just to have some cheap fun and bring the various groups in the import scene closer together ie toyota's hondas evos drifters time attackers etc

I'm keen too... As I actually participated in the last Texi instead of just helping out all day, I'm keen to do more events like this because I had a ball!

My car isn't really suitable for 'Khana-style events, but I enjoyed being able to drive it hard in a controlled environment. :)

entry forms now available for the first installment.

please email me to reserve your spot.

Im a Skyline owner/lover and look forward to helping some fellow owners have as much fun as I have had in mine over the years.

Not long now, Seeyas there!

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
