Events that we typically get involved withMOTORKHANAS Motorkhanas involve manoeuvring your vehicle around a set course marked by flags whilst competing against the clock one car at a time. Time penalties are levied for knocking over flags, taking the wrong course and incorrectly finishing within the finish garage. These events are a good starting point for new members, especially juniors. These events are conducted on grass, dirt and bitumen surfaces and are primarily designed to teach new and experienced drivers co-ordination and vehicle handling on loose surfaces. An ordinary road car is quite suitable to use in a motorkhana event. Vehicles are divided into classes according to wheelbase length. KHANACROSS
This is a speed event conducted over a course less than two kilometres in length. The course incorporates a stop garage in which competitors must completely stop their vehicle within before continuing otherwise a time penalty applies. Drivers compete one car at a time against the clock. Usually khanacrosses are held on unsealed surfaces and are a cross between a motorkhana and short stage rally.
LAP DASHES / SUPERSPRINTS These are speed events and drivers compete against the clock. A Lap Dash is a single vehicle on the track at a time while Super Sprints are multiple car events in which two vehicles start simultaneously. Vehicles are divided into classes according to modification and engine capacity. Venues are: Eastern Creek, Oran Park, Catalina Park Katoomba (Closed), Wakefield Park Goulburn.
HILLCLIMBS These are one car at a time speed events on either bitumen or dirt surfaces with a variety of gradients and corners. Drivers compete against the clock. Some hillclimb venues are : Wollongong, Huntley Hill Climb Dapto, Bathurst, Mount Panorama, Wakefied Park - Goulburn
RALLYING
Rallies are usually conducted in state forests mainly at night. Crews consisting of driver and co-driver (navigator) compete against the clock and cars are dispatched at two minute intervals. Co-drivers are issued with a set of route instructions and direct the driver over a set course. Novice rallies contain around 50 to 80km of competitive sections and are held at night. Rally series available to members are: • NSW Novice Rally Series • NSW Clubman Rally Series • NSW Rally Championship · Other Rally Clubs Series TOURING ASSEMBLIES Touring Assemblies or Navigational Trials are conducted on public roads and are not speed events. They can be around 150km in distance conducted during daylight and/or night using sealed and/or unsealed roads. Touring Assemblies are tests of navigational skill, crews must determine the correct route and answer various questions along the way as set by the event director. The winner scores the highest number of correct answers and has travelled the closest to the total distance as set by the director.
