A Toyota Soarer running high boost. A long wheel-base auto - not the best choice for a khana -

Those Bullet's are insane.

[pipo-kun]

It had enough power to chew through a set of Toyo slicks in one afternoon.
Mine you - the twin turbo 20B FD RX-7 used two sets of rears on the same amount of time.

[PaulyJ]

Nice photo's
How did you go?

[pipo-kun]

I was taking it easy, as my last motorsport outing resulted in a broken car.
So I took it easy this time.
No official results yet - but I was 4 seconds slower than slowest MX5 on the first run.

[PaulyJ]

where can i find out details on motorkhana's?
i'm really interested in doing some.

[pipo-kun]

I don't know about motorkhanas in Victoria.
In the ACT, the MG car club organises all the motorkhanas.

[pipo-kun]

BTW, there is some info available here -

Pauly, check out the Holden Sporting Car Club of Victoria. They do all types of motorsport events including motorhanas. Looking at joining myself.

[bill142]

which one were you? I'll probably see half those cars on my way to work tomorrow.

[PaulyJ]

Thanks for that guys.
Going to try and get something happening with our club and CAMS.
The CAMS office is right next to my Uni, so i'll check it out when i'm there next.

[pipo-kun]

While you are visitng CAMs get your 2NS licence.
You will need that for motorkhanas and track days.
It is not expensive - I have used mine three times already.

[PaulyJ]

cant afford it just yet... got a lot of expenses atm.
will be doing a lot of enquiries tho

[R3N]

That's an FC tho, isn't it? And you would need CAMS license for motokhanas but for regular skidpans (great starting point) you just need your full driver's license.

[PaulyJ]

Went to CAMS today.
Getting a CAMS Affiliation for the whole OpelAus will cost heaps... HEAPS.
Better off getting state divisions.
Working up interest to see if we can get a Vic.OpelAus CAMS Affiliation happening. We'll see what happens and take it from there.

[pipo-kun]

Your best option is to join an exisiting CAMS Affliliated club. I am still a member of the MX5 club of NSW (ACT chapter) even though I no longer own an MX.
