Hello Skyliners!

REACT (Rotary Enthusiasts of the ACT) is proud to announce our second ever CAMS affiliated event, the SaruSeven Motorkhana. This event is being run as a multi-club event, meaning that anyone can enter as long as they have a CAMS licence. It would be great to see some SAU members at this event.

When is it and where is it?

The motorkhana starts at 10.30am on Sunday 23 January at the Sutton Road driver training complex, just outside of Canberra. Competitors must be present for scrutineering from 9am.

How to enter

Entering is farily simple.

1. Read the event announcement on the REACT website

2. Download the entry form and supp regs.

3. Send the entry form to REACT with your entry fee

4. REACT will send you a receipt and some other details

5. Come along and have fun!

The small matter of CAMS licences

The SaruSeven Motorhana is a CAMS affiliated event which means that you need a motorsports licence to participate. SAU is CAMS affiliated so you can get a licence through SAU.

There is no test to get a licence, you just fill in a form and send CAMS some money.

You need a minimum of an L2NS licence which costs $44 for a year.

What will this cost and what do I get for my money

What is costs

The entry fee is $35 if you enter before 17 December and $40 if you enter after 17 December but before 14 January. The fee is per driver.

What you get

The entry fee goes towards obtaining the CAMS permit, producing the book of test layouts and hiring the Sutton Road complex's large manouvering area.

The CAMS permit covers REACT in the unlikely event that something goes wrong and also covers competitors involved in any accidents with non-competitors. Yes, REACT has third party property cover on all entrants!

How to find out more?

You can read the event announcement on the REACT website. (Hopefully you have done so already)

You can read All about the SaruSeven Motorkhana, an article on motorkhanas, on the REACT website.

You can ask questions here. :)

Thanks for reading!

What place in Dickson?

Regardless - not as far as I know. I would doubt that a business would open their carpark to "anyone" to hold a motorkhana, mainly from an insurance side of things. The CAMS side of things gives REACT and competitors $100,000,000 of public liability cover so that places like Sutton Road are willing to let us hire their venue.

It is possible for clubs to have "come and try" days where you don't need to be a member to come along and where day-licences are provided but that's not what REACT is running in January.

lol soz dont ask me where i got dickson from, i ment the driver traing centre...

ahh thats a bit of a pain.....its required for race vehicles so the car can still be moved by the marshals if the keys aren't in it.

But I've never heard of this reg with motorkhanas, up to and including national champs :)

I will look in my CAMS manual tonight and see if its in there for motorkhanas. Perhaps the scrutineer is confused with higher level stuff - he normally scrutineers for rallies, IIRC.

KOS! cams affiliated club = US.

neil, if we need the ignition lock thingy its a 2 min job with a drill....but its a little difficult to reverse later....

Pretty sure Sutton Rd is tar a nice big skidpan they use for those motorbike l plate trainings.

And they have a lovely wet handling circuit there too ;) and of course the full track :rolleyes: Air over the last hill in someone else's car...O what a feeling....

  • 4 weeks later...

I have just now heard back from our Chief Scrutineer - the ignition lock is only required for pre-1978 unregisted cars only.

If your car is post 78, no problems, even if it's un-rego'd. :)

Neil, the venue at Sutton is a large flat tar area, as Duncan described. We will be using it dry due to water restrictions.

Early entries close NEXT Friday, the 17th. Save yourself $5 and get in early! :P

  • 1 month later...

no sorry Saru, not from me....typical internet all talk and no turn up. The axle is still sitting in the middle of the floor borken.

But please keep us posted about other events, I'd love to give something down there a shot later in the year.

All the best with the numbers :D

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
