Rally

Hey, I'm looking for some info about Rallys, be it charity rallies etc. I heard of a few, but I cant remember names so google is near useless.

So if anyone has any info about some rallies, that would be great.

Uhh, this is for amature rallies btw. Ie. ones anyone can enter (with CAMS licence [duh])

Thanks.

Hey Mike,

Theres a couple of different things

1) charity bash like bsomething to bsomething each year, generally you smash an old car over a bunch of very poor roads and heap a heap of fun Check out Prank and Y0880's project car here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=43524

2) serious tarmac rallies like Targa Tas, East Coast, Rally NZ etc etc. Top competition but pretty serious stuff...

3) Full on dirty rally stuff...skylines don't do this do they? If you're interested in these the place to start is called "Khanacross" its short dirt courses, not too fast so you wont hurt to much if you go over, entry level so everyone should be helpful. We're hoping to get the mighty 200b into a couple in the next 12 months

1) Sounds great!! Keeping an eye out for that!!

2) Seirous stuff I will be doing after a few praccies around my cousins paddock etc.

3) I'm lookin for some thing a little more organised/longer. But I will check these out, wouldnt hurt for practise!

A friend is big into the HRA and trying to get me into the scene.

I have to say for about $5k for a car with cage and log books its good bang for buck.

Im looking at a Mk1 Escort tomorrow, you can do events like Targa, Classic Adelaide, Rally of Tas, OLDE BP Rally plus any number of other the HRA navigation and super stage rallies.

I cant understand how Drift is so popular when you look at the expense compared to getting one of these cars and going belting thru the countryside/bush at 3am. Its great fun and you are sideways even when you are going straight.

I think it all comes back to communication and access. it seems this form of motorpsort is very accesible, its just to the average person ppl equate rallying (dirt & tarmac) with big dollar serious competition stuff.

Roy....you want a 1600 or 200b not an escort They are still winning the VIC state champs :wassup:

Yeh a 1600 won the HRA rally on the weekend. (Historic Rally Association)http://www.hra.org.au/index.asp

This Volvo cams 2nd...its a pretty wicked thing with Motec injection, carbon fibre airbox,

If your car is worth 15k then you are driving something exotic like a Lotus twin cam Escort or a BDA escort (ie Steve richards in the Vic Dutton)...most are worth 1/3 or less then this.
