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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
