Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone here has plans to ever enter Classic adelaide rally?
I know if I decide not to go turbo (maybe an 18rgu instead of a 3sgte  ) I might one day enter - this years competition has two toyota's
1975 Toyota Celica
1969 Toyota Corolla KE15
I'm sure it's all fun 
*I'm just reading the rules and regulations now - sad life hey*

What level of modification is allowed? I have a mate who wants to enter his mini in a few years time.

Classic Adelaide rally
what are the regs on car age??
if i did up the Sprinter like i want to i'd go in when it becomes eligable (if it becomes eligable)
then again, i could just drive the stages any other day of the year...
no entry fee either

You can't really modify the cars that heavily...and for those who want to enter, best to take a serious look at the supp regs - you have to spend alot of money if you want to enter the competitive category, and the amount of modification you can do is somewhat limited.
Go ask at a CAMS office.

Yeah but there is a HUGE difference between cruising along the roads at a pace that you *think* is fast, compared to commiting 10/10ths or 9/10ths when the roads are closed off for competition.
Car age isn't everything, for example the latest Lotus Elises regularly feature and they are maybe a few years old. Depends what category you enter.

Competition:
· Historic, for vehicles built up to 1947;
· Classic, for vehicles built between 1948 and 1971;
· Late Classic, for vehicles built between 1972 and 1990.
Modifcations to competition cars is very limited.
For example, to run a 18R-G or 2T-G Celica, you would need a true aus delivered GT.
Not just a Celica built up to look like a GT.
From memory, entry for competition is ~$7000, and they wont take anyone... they do pick who enters the rally.
Anyway... ill be officaling again this year (my 5th), ill be on Flaxley on Friday, Macclesfield on Sat, and Picadilly on Sunday.
Come say hi if your around, look out for my car (avatar)

Was there today at the prologue and will be at various stages spectating over the next 4 days.
I too plan on entering the classic, but it certainly isn't anything I plan in the near future as I realise how much it all costs.
How awesome is richards escort! actually how awesome were all of the escorts... That white/blue Mk2 popped its front wheel when it spun at the hairpin.. was so cool.

the bright yellow KE15 in there for the last few years has a fair few mods.. but is still the original motor, ie 1100cc K motor... it does have a TOSCO spec head and TOSCO pistons, and apparently has around 130-140hp... and sounds sweet

i was meant to be competing in it this week , in a perana v8 capri ..
modifications are very strict on what can be done + what cars can enter ..
they have had a 74 ta22 in it running a stroiked 2tg, still carby , with hilux/pug brakes in the compeditive list , and there was meant to be an early corolla levin entered this year as well
Justso you know , the car will have to be in A1 presented form + be of a desired/rare sports heratige as far as i know. and yes as MWP said they are VERY VERY picky on what cars enter. Replicas can enter but must be of a condition to truely "replicate "the spirit of the original - half the escort guys for example run re-shelled RS escorts , as the cars can be bent up and rebirthed for the next event
PS: they wouldnt let me enter my 1990 gt4 as a fallback for the perana as it was deemed too modern for the event , and also turbo + awd , which at current they dont seem to approve , unless its on a porsche
PSS: have a BIG entry fee allowance saved up as well ( ie over 5 grand for the lesser categories ( we were in thoroughbred touring ) and higher for full compeditive)
We'll be back next year in the perana capri - our entrys already been rolled over + our backup mark 2 escort should be ready around then too incase things go pear shaped again
Oh and if anyone wants to know why im not running , it was because of an engine failure 1 week prior to the event ( and i have my entry sheets needed as proof if anyone doubts me ! )

ive got photos of it from last year - sounded mean for a tg motor 
poor thing though - you could see it still had ta22 traits of understeer into tight corners - but im sure he was working on dialing it out
at one stage it was in the top 15 or so i think behind the higher rated porsches/escorts/peranas/racecars
its an aweesome event - so pissed i couldnt go this year but as they say "thats racing "
we'll be back next year with a sorted out car + more driving time under the belt - it ( the perana ) only got off the boat 6 months ago + spent half that time being repaired into working order again .. ONLY to have the damn engine go pop one week out
and without major sponsors its hard to turn the car around again in such a short pweriod + have it run in

Classique: just out of curiosity how difficult is it to get SA imports such as the perana/GTs/etc

not sure on that - the owner of the car bought it from a person in wa who imported 2 from south africa .
they were already landed here when it was purchased but our car isnt registered for complete road use yet - it had permits to run in the rally , but should be fully complied + registered as soon as its drivinhg again ..
there weree a few issues like seatbelts etc that had to be attended to but not sure about emissions etc ( shouldnt have to because its a pre 74 car )

Anyone know what happened to the Escort?
I was on the stage (Flaxley) after the one it crashed on.. didnt hear much about it, other than it caused big delays on our stage.
Also meant the cars after the competition guys ran our stage as transit

I doubt it... i would have been up Maccelsfield way.
Well it was a good event as always.
The 3 days of work has killed me... as always
Found some realllly nice roads driving to and from the stages though, i might have to organise a cruise some time
Did anyone see the size of the brakes on the Carerra GT???? :8O
Friggin massive... i couldnt believe it when it pulled up at the stop point i was working on. Both the front and back discs were the same size too.
Didnt see much of the KE15, the only day i saw it on a stage was today (Sunday). Must have been having a few problems.
I had the purple Pirahna blow up in front of me on Saturday, gushed oil everywhere.
Sad to see it out... esp as its an original and not a replica like most of the others.
Must have been somthign serious as it didnt rejoin on Sunday.
The winner...
I ended up taking 400 photos over the weekend... not bad considering officials are not meant to take any

Yeah I was there, nice corner but wherever theres lots of spectators your going to get dickhead officals. I was on the downside of the corner and he was worried about a car climbing the embankment and going through the stone wall?
Some of the comments from some those bogans at the hairpin were classics, I even heard one of them said "choice" hah

There were other officials trying to calm him down but he scared them off
