Courses:Released on the day at sign on

First timers: Don't be shy, you'll love it.



Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 4.00pm, and considering most runs are under 1 minute AND that we're kicking off at 9am, that's a lot of runs



This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there's no pressure, one car on a course at a time. Perfect for beginners to have a first try at driving their pride and joy off the streets.

Motorkhana is a fabulous low cost way to get involved in motorsport. To get involved in Motorkhana you can get your first taste of motor sport in your standard road car, but this discipline also caters to the most skilled and experienced of drivers in highly modified or purpose built Motorkhana specials.

The competition is designed to test the acceleration, braking and manoeuvrability of a vehicle and the skill and judgement of the crew members.

A motorkhana may be conducted on a sealed or unsealed surface and involves manoeuvring through tight and twisty tests marked by flags.

Cars will be started individually and there will be one car on course at one time.

At no time during these events are burnouts, skids or drifting permitted to take place.




With that said, there's usually some friendly competition between mates, which is great to watch

Is it no side pipes full stop or no unmuffled side pipes?

[luke gtr]

In!

Will organise payment asap.

[klebestift]

Also, CAMS licences can be renewed online if you have previously held an L2NS or L2S.

I just applied for a CAMS licence online without needing to have previously held one. Register on the front page to receive a CAMS ID (may have to wait for the email) and then use that to login, choose your club (we're listed under ACT, not NSW) and pay for the licence.

I will be there with some ACT crew!!!!!

Hey Mate, i am pretty sure its just a noise thing, if your side pipe is quieter than the legal Db limit for the event i fail to see an issue...

Put your name down when you know for sure. I'll pencil your name as a maybe at the moment.

[Calsonic14U]

[hy_rpm]

Missed the last one can't miss this one

Went last year and had epic skids

[Pezhead]

Please email your entries to [email protected]. Thanks. If you do not pay and there are paying entrants then we will have to bump you. But that hasn't happened for a while.

Also, be sure to get your AASA or CAMS license before hand. We can no longer take entries on the day.

[Mikha1]

I'm in. This will be my third one, piloting a maroon r32

[lewx]

Can a scrutineer, or someone that knows, tell me if this is ok.

Basically the weak plastic tie that holds the pin into my fire extinguisher broke off so I used a rubber band to keep it in (but still allows it to come out when you need to use it).

Theres also a cable tie to stop the top lever going up (the safety pin only stops it from going down ).

It will still function as per normal, just looks a bit iffy.

Thanks

[Aggroman]

personally id remove the cable tie thats stopping it from going up (it doesnt matter if it goes up as it will only fire on full depress) the rubber band is OK because its easy enough to break in an emergency.. the cable tie is not and even though it wont interfere just the 1% chance it could is enough for me.

as the club scruit I would have to confer with the rest of the team but I would probably land on the same conclusion

[Strick.]

Email sent!

[Pezhead]

I tend to agree with Aggro. Lose the cable tie. The pin is just a safety but having that cable tie over the bit that activates the extinguisher, while probably not a problem could limit the ability to open 100%.

[lewx]

Thanks guys, cable tie is off.

[Liz]

I've paid and entered. I cannot see any additional paperwork though.

[Pezhead]

Hmm, maybe I should enter the beast. Should be run in by then. With Reece, Liz, me and prob Dave we just need Cassbo to make it a reunion tour!
