Righty-o, have the preliminary dates for the Queensland Motorkhana Series, none of these are set in stone but should be a good indication nonetheless.

 

QMS 1 - February 29 (Qld Raceway)

QMS 2 - April 4 (Qld Raceway)

QMS 3 - May 2 (Qld Raceway)

QMS 4 - June 20 (Gold Coast)

QMS 5 - August (not sure date or venue, hosted by Northern Rivers Car Club)

QMS 6 - October 17 (Qld Raceway)

QMS 7 - November 7 (Qld Raceway)

QMS 8 - December 12 (Qld Raceway)

 

QMS 6 (Oct 17) will be held in conjunction with the Queensland Motorkhana Championship and possibly Interclub Challenge, what this means is that you'll compete in the motorkhana and get 2 sets of results - one with handicaps for the QMS, and one without for the QMC.

 

Also, the Australian Motorkhana Championships (Nationals) will be held on November 13/14th weekend in Sydney for anyone interested.

 

If no one objects I will put these in the Calendar too. I also have the 2004 Queensland Calendar of Proposed Events (dated 11/12/2003), these are only draft and there are a SHITELOAD of events so I'm not going to post all of them up but if anyone is interested in a certain month or event let me know.

 

*edit* QMS2 moved dates

Yes, your car will be scrutineered. There isn't really much to it, just a general safety check to make sure you're not going to be dropping oil everywhere or catching fire or something bad like that and that your steering, brakes and tyres are okay. I'm sure the finer details as to what is scrutineered is somewhere in the CAMS manual, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

 

You will need a CAMS Level 2 licence as well.

 

When the sup regs come out I'll post up more.

You can get your CAMS licence in a day. All you need is the slip of paper that says you've applied and paid. I've heard rumours they've got a new system to get your licence (as in the proper licence) to you in about a week too, but don't know. Why don't you just apply for one now? Doesn't hurt to get one earlier...

 

And haha, this is a motorkhana, who needs shocks? :D

Thanks for the dates Fook, will update calander as soon as I have time to scratch myself...... :D

 

R,

 

P.S: Don't be too concerned with "raceworthiness", it's all first gear stuff. Just bring it out and flog it !

Grim: Did you still need that rebuild kit? I still have it if you want.

whats a motorkhana ? sounds like a hot dog mmmm hotdogs...

Motorkhana is a race, very small circuit made of markers (like cones). All 1st , reverse and a tiny bit of 2nd gear (for some people anyway) stuff, mainly to test your car control, judgement, braking, acceleration, that sort of stuff. A lot of tyre spinning, a lot of handbrake turns, generally a bucket load of fun.

 

Very cheap to run in (I forget the cost now, it's something like $25 for the day) a lot of fun and a great way to get into motorsport.

wooh okies...

 

but I have a problem... maxi can't spin wheels :) he sorta jerks and then cuts out in 1st and sometimes 2nd... :D maybe fwd's don't need to spin wheels in motorkhana?

Just reaf on the hand brake and drag the rears around lmao

Oh don't worry you'll spin your wheels. Even Pinky spins it's wheels. It's mainly the thromping on the accelerator and throwing the car around, you're bound to lift a wheel or two :D

 

And no, you don't have to spin your wheels, you'll probably be quicker if you don't :)

hey all

is there room for a spectator with a camera? :D

It would be great to see something like this in real life!

Teddy: Yes you can come and take photos, watch, lie on the grass, whatever really :D

cool!

Ill have to find some 1 to be kind enough and take me to the event and back :D
