SAUQLD's first Motorkhana day!

12th February 2012

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Motorkhana - The Art of Dodge Ball with cars and witches hats!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So you think you have some most excellent driving skills?

Ever found yourself frantically bashing at your keyboard telling the world of your mad skills? How you made it to a level 31 GT-5 Driver, Beat a 900HP mud boat to a car parking spot, out drifted Ken Block at Capalaba, and that your 'Line is faster sideways than in a straight line?

Come and prove your Mettle with our first Motorkhana day at Queensland Raceway!

What is a Motorkhana?

A Motorkhana is a car and driver test event. There is a start and finish gate with a set course that is laid out on a skidpan with witches hats. The event is timed for each car. The aim is to do the course in the shortest possible time.

Sounds easy, Can I do skids?

Yes you can, but there are time penalties involved with this event.

There is a 5 second penalty for hitting a cone. If you hit 3 cones, that's 15 seconds onto your time! There is also a penalty for a Wrong Direction of 30 seconds. A DNF (Did Not Finish) will get you the slowest time for that course + 30 seconds.

The aim of the day is to get the lowest time.

Sounds Complicated, can I have an instructor?

There will be no 'instructors' on the day, however we may have a few 'coach's' available. Insurance does not cover anyone who was being instructed, however having a course coach is.

Can I have passengers?

There will be only 1 passenger per car permitted, however both the driver and the passenger will be required to wear an approved helmet and be wearing seat belts. The helmet is required for when you and your passenger smack heads together?

So how much does it cost?

Being our first introduction into motorkhanas, we have decided to have it at a reduced price. The cost will be $40 per entrant.

As this is our introduction into Motorkhana's, there are a limited number of spots available. To secure your spot you will need to complete the entry form and email it back to [email protected]. Make sure you get it in fast, as there is only 25 positions available. The faster you get it in, the more chance of getting a spot! Your entry will be confirmed once payment is received.

Name: Skylines Australia Queensland Club

Bank: Westpac

BSB: 034 063

Account Number: 354 012

(Please do not send cash in the mail, for obvious reasons!)

Payment is needed by Monday 6th February, so get cracking!

And what time does it start?

The day will kick off at 8.30am and go through until 12.30pm. We will be doing a drivers briefing at 8.15am so make sure you're there before that!

Anything else I need to know?

Yes, you will need to have everything inside the cabin that is loose, removed. That street directory, empty coke bottles, busted laptop, your spare intercooler and that broken PS3 controller all need to be taken out of the car!

You don't want them smacking you upside the head do you?

If you miss out and don't get a spot, don't worry, you can go down on the reserves list. If people pull out, then you may still get to have some fun on the pan! Also, it's great to watch and we'll need a few people to help out, so come along!

Awesome, how to I join the fun?

Grab the attached entry form, fill it out and send it in with your payment. It's that easy. Then you can join us as we throw our cars around witches hats on the skidpan.

You know you want to!!!!

Motokhana's are bucket loads of fun - SAUNSW's been loving them for 6 years now (4 per year).

Guys just enter this, you'll have a blast, even if it is run by a guy with a Telstar :D

SpewBucket knows all about Motorkhanas. Take his advice and give it a go!

sounds interesting, i'll have to talk to the "boss"

Get to it! It's only $40!

Sounds great. Any special requirements eg. CAMS license, CTP extension?

No special requirements as it's considered a low speed event. All you need is your membership card and you're eligble to enter!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo :-D

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
