Motorkhana - Get into it!
 
As you may or may not know, Motorkhana is the sport of chucking your car around a small course at relatively low speeds. But the emphesis is on control and accuracy.

The WA Motorkhana State Championship has 5 rounds over the season.

The dated for the 2012 round are TBA. The dates for 2011 were:
Sunday, [B]March 27[/B] - Round 1 @ Tiger Kart Club
Saturday, [B]June 4[/B] - Round 2 @ Albany
Sunday, [B]July 10[/B] - Round 3 @ RAC (TBC)
Sunday, [B]August 21[/B] - Round 4 @ RAC (TBC)
Sunday, [B]September 18[/B] - Practice day @ RAC (TBC)
Saturday [B]October 1[/B] - Australian Motorkhana Championship @ RAC
Sunday [B]October 2[/B] - Round 5 @ RAC

There is a 'practice/come-and-try' day at the beginning of the season. It is free for anyone has not done it before!

For anyone wanting to see some results, courses, or just more information, head to:

If you are interested in competing, it's around $35 a crack. You need a CAMS licence, but a 'one day' Licence is around $25 I think. Not bad value.

hydralick handbrake in that wrx?

DAN682 16-05-2009 06:37 PM

That was awesome! Do you have any more video of your car on the gravel?

ALEX. 16-05-2009 06:38 PM

nope, regular.
It was done up fairly tight though (one or two 'clicks' and it can't go any further).

I was looking into hydraulic with Leigh @ RMS. Not sure I need it so much as my one works quite effectively...

Thanks for the cool comments guys :)

PS as for the gravel, i have a little bit more footage i'll dig up (bad pun intended. sorry).
It was from a year ago. i was young and foolish and didn't mind washing every nooke and cranny of my car afterwards

DJDINO 16-05-2009 06:43 PM

Very nice Alex, what shoes in the handbrake ? I was trying to handbrake the other day and mine is S--T.

Taktics 16-05-2009 06:44 PM

yeah must say, worked fairly well with a regular one!

scoobygez 16-05-2009 06:52 PM

I've never ever done a hand brake turn in any of my scoobs as i have always been under the impression its not good for the awd system ie the diffs etc
