Motorkhana info

All you need for a motorkhana is a working car. no safety gear needed, but seeing as its 40km out of darwin, you will need some way to get there. hughes airstrip is 2km past Noonamah servo, and literally 10m after the 130 speed limit sign on the left. there is a sign there and a small power station kind of thing. just follow the dirt track to the strip.

newly updated for 2008 - more as it becomes available
This event will be run as a CAMS event and all participants will need a CAMS licence for the day. A single day licence is available at the concessional rate for over 17 year olds and this is included in the cost of entry for those who do not have any form of CAMS licence. cost of entry is $30

The single day licence can be upgraded to a level 2 Non Speed Licence for those wanting to compete in the full series. Cost is $50.00 for the year.

Cost for 12 - 17 year olds is only $13 for the full year (again, included in $30 entry fee).

general license info

NAMSC membership day $22 year $99
CAMS Level 2 license day $42 year $88 ($48 for drifting only)

CAMS LICENSE APPLICATIONS CAN BE COMPLETED ON THE SATURDAY AT SCRUTINEERING

info on the 2S license
http://www.cams.com.au/content.asp?PageID=...mp;ObjectID=311

or the 2NS license for drifting
http://www.cams.com.au/content.asp?PageID=...mp;ObjectID=310

Lap sprint:
entry fee $22
after the appropriate licenses (day or year of both NAMSC and CAMS)

scrutineering
you will need to show up on the saturday before the race meet between 11 and 1 or 10 to 2 (ill confirm that later)
just a quick check to make sure brake lights work and nothing is hanging off.
if you want to get out of there really quick, take everything you can out of your car.

for the race day:
you will need enclosed shoes, a long sleeve shirt, long pants and a helmet. open face or full face it doesnt matter. you will need to be there by about 8.
tape up all glass lights as well! headlights and foglights if you have them. then just go through scrutineering again and you will get it signed off.

there is a discussion about racing lines and how to navigate corners that can be found *here*

drifting:
entry fee $44 (after licenses)
all requirements are the same. time, clothes, etc.

drift and circuit: no passengers!
(except possibly on the fun days)

helmets
your best bet would be to buy a helmet if you plan on racing at 3 or more events. they can be picked up new for ~ $160
failing that, if you ask nicely im sure SOMEONE on here will be able to lend you one

spectating - entry $5

SUMMARY OF COSTS

lapsprints
per meet = $22 + $22 + $42 = $86
(entry fee + day NAMSC license + day CAMS license)

per year (6 meets)
day licenses at each meet = NAMSC x 6 $132 + $252 + entry fee x 6 ($132) = $516
year licenses = entry fee x 6 ($132) + $184 = $316

let me know if there is anything else i need to add.

G'day all,

Membership signon for NAMSC will be from 10am til 12 noon in the first floor of the control tower.

Please ensure you have correct money if paying in cash as we wont have a float.

Private practice sessions will start at 12 noon for those who have paid up and drift sessions will be included for the TEDA Drifters.

As this is a private practice, pit bays will not be available.

See you there.

Cheers

On what date??????????

nope. thanks meg

i havent been to the drags for a very long time but i guess we can add drags in as its a general Hidden Valley thread.
mudracing too if Adam wants to shed some light on that...

last round of mudracing is on the 15th. www.mudracing.asn.au has all the dates and pricing. or jay might know. he tows cars out of the mud!!

whens next khana on the tarmac?

unconfirmed. Likely to be one towards the end of the year though

TARMAC TRAMAC TARMAC!!!!!!!!!!

get over it Ryan....

practicalities over-rule demand

unless demand over-rule practicalities.... work that one out

hey guys i paid up all my licenses/membership at the first meeting, so its only 44 bucks right?

that is correct there lukie

ladies and gentlemen.... We have another race day/drift day on TOMORROW!
hidden valley from 10. Spectating is $5
come down and watch

Again another great day held by NAMSC. I managed to take my car again and learned a few more things. Shaved a few seconds of my previous meet, also had a spin out at clubhouse! heaps of fun. Great day to be out too. Not at all hot and sticky as prev meets.

White XW falcon was going hard, congrats to him on being the fastest in the lapsprints. I enjoyed watching the dash for cash at the end. I think it was Kroonsdriver in the rotary powered car and did that thing fly. Coming from the back of the grid to the front was great to see. Great driving by the commodore drivers as well.

Unlucky for Pocock on the day having to finish early. Great to hear your lifting the front inside wheel now! Need to get a shot of that next time.

Always great to chat to other drivers there to, they are all great people to talk to, always helpful, great place to be.

Great value for $22 lapsprints and u get 4 races you cant beat it.

Fun fun fun. Next meet will be too far away.

Guys there's a motorkhana again at hidden valley this weekend

should be a great night!

Cheers.

Alex or James, could you please get Laurie Feehan to get in contact with me or PM me his number. Its been a while since I have spoken to him and would like to catch up with him.

Pm sent Toula

Diggity, I will call him.

ladies and gents.
NAMSC race day on sunday same deal as above.
but they are starting to require more notice, so its too late for the drifters, and im pretty sure its a little too late for lapsprints.

so just come down, support the club and watch some good racing

Supposedly not a points round due to lack of timing gear on the circuit.

I'm pretty sure lap sprinters should be fine if they turn up between 12 and 2pm tomorrow for scrutineering.....unless there are a heap of entries already I'd doubt they would be turned away.

oh ok. thanks bob

Went and signed up today, i will be down there inthe 180sx lapsprinting, my Brother in his Silvia Drifting, and my Dad in his commodorecup car should hopefully be a good day.

very fun day tday. great turnout. n e 1 get any pics?

or footage??

got pics. 140 decent ones.

will post em up when i get a chance. will probably be mid-arvo tomorrow.
