 TOYOTA CAR CLUB MOTORKHANA!!!

 Yes, we are organising another Motorkhana for our club on SEPTEMBER 11 and invite anyone on this forum to join in on the fun.
The day is all about having a much fun on the wet concrete skid pan with no pressure or times taken.
The day costs only $25 per person (you can share cars between more than one person if you like) and takes place just south of Gympie, sothere is a fun convoy on the way there.
We do need to hire the Pan one week before, so if you are interested please phone me on 0402 154 115 or e-mail on jeff1600@hotmail.com and PM me here. This way we can organise details of payments and where to meet for the convoy.
Cheers ALL.

No helmet needed.
Your car just has to be street legal and registered
I don't think there's many (or any) other restrictions or regulations. Thats all I can think of anyway.

Starting and driving are two different things

I wouldn't mind coming up and spectating but that is one week before jambo so I don't want to risk stuffing anything in my car.
Where are people meeting as I am on the Sunshine Coast.

New tyres probably -wont- be on by then
|
this is a good thing - wet cement skidpan is much more fun if your tyres are old, worn and prone to loss-of-traction.

oh really, this is sounding very interesting.... i have always wanted to do this and my birthday is on the 7th so it could be a present!!!! YAY!
Now i would like some details please. i have just done a twin turbo conversion so it should be good to play with the power!!! Anyway how big of a place are we talking? like you have to be really unco to damage the car? And i have an open diff? is this something that could cause problems, as in not enough wheel slippage? do you go out by your self? and finally how much time roughly would we get on the pan?
Other wise i will most probably be there. i will like to meet at BP caboulture if anyone else is around the area.

Details in case anyone needs them
- Competitors need to Phone or SMS Jeff Mason (TTC Qld competition secretary) on 0402 154 115 to arrange payment.
- cruise up to gympie for competitors and spectators leaves the Carseldine Caltex at 6am SHARP! on the Sunday morning. You will want to bring a comfy hat, chair, UHF radio, camera (still or vid), cash for food.
- competitors will need a valid licence (learner's need a suitably legal passenger) and a road-registered car.
- the Cooloolah car Club is providing staff for the event and will have drinks for sale (BYO food and bbq if you have one) - please show support their club as they're a very friendly bunch of car loons!
- fuel up during the week as buying a tank of PuLP on a sunday is expensive. The drive up takes about 1 3/4 hrs.
- it's just as much fun to watch as it is to compete!! plus watching is free!!
- just about any car will cope with the skidpan, it's not massively large, but enough for you to get you car sideways a lot. Most of the circuits keep you in 1st & 2nd gear, 3rd is for those with serious wheel spin or control.
- the LSD or open diff is just as much fun - you can get seriously sideways with both. It's the recovery and change of direction after the turns that you might find a bit more challenging.
- you'll get at least 12-13 runs or more on the skidpan - like most motorsport, much of the day is watching other people make fools of themselves.
- you can go out with a navigator or by yourself. Is only one car at a time and you get shown the course (driving around different arrangements of witches hats) 30 seconds before you take off. Most drivers work it out watching other competitors do the circuits.
- If you are thinking competing and havn't paid, you have to contact Jeff now! There are entry slots for over 30 cars.
-the club use the skid pan at: <http://www.drivertraining.com.au/index.html>
-search the whitepages for 'Roadcraft' and you'll get an address. <www.whereis.com.au> shows Drummond Drive on the southern side of gympie. If you search for the address with whereis you can get a location map.
- from memory, we turned off the highway, turned right into Pronger street and entered the site at the corner where it becomes drummond drive.

Haha to give all you who aren't too comfortable about taking there cars along an idea...
I'll be taking my MX62 cressida (for the 3rd time), which is equipped with the FOOOOOOLY sic stock 5me (ok it's manual at least  ), with stock open diff and 185/75 tyres on heckit 14" rims.
Oh yes, my car is so 1337 you should fear it
The point is you can have fun in anything
There is masses of run off area around the pad and you would be a complete goose to hit anything, the chances are 1 in very large number (the odds are a lot better as well if you aren't a corolla driver ).
So quit your 'maybe-ing' and come along already

you can have a blast in my ute then?
1st gear is a hill climber, the 3 litre desiel redlines at about 3.5-4k and it has the same performance characteristics as a bowl of custard
if you break it i'll give you a medal 
chris - even your humble KE will be fun on the skidpan ... you'll take days to wipe the silly shit-eating grin off your face after a few sessions

there should be spots left - best thing is to conttact Jeff on 0402 154 115 or e-mail home at <jeff1600@hotmail.com> and PM him here.
If you're quick, there might be spots left at this Sunday's event being run by the Cooloolah Car Club at the same venue - see the other thread about it in this section.

Just to make people understand, there is absolutely no reason to be nervous or embarassed in these events.
No one there is interested in judging or laughing at people.
People are usually either
-having too much fun to care what other people are doing
-too focused on improving their own driving skills
-worried about what people think of their own driving
-looking for the next car with no passenger so they can have a ride
-talking about cars, engines, and conversions
-looking at each others cars, engines and conversions
having said that I still usually end up with butterflies, and adrenalin when its my go, but thats just cause its so much fun.
Some people take it all really conservatively hardly losing any traction - noone gives a shit - but that seems to often get quicker times anyway! (not that many people care about getting quick times)
Oh, and 6am sure is early, hence why some people end up catching up with the convoy on the way, which usually seems to work out ok.

Yep you turn right off the highway into pronger road, just as you're coming into Gympie. If you hit the 80 zone you've gone slightly too far. Turn right off the high way, then you should be looking at a big lot of sheds, just go right again and follow that road straight down until you see the gate in front of you. I work at a place just beside the skid pan

Just to let all of you know, the Cooloola Car Club will be providing our BBQ and tables for you to use on the day. All we ask is that you assist us to keep the area clean. We will have soft drinks and cold water for sale, this is the only way we will be looking to make a profit from the day, so your generosity will be appreciated.
The whole idea of this day is to allow people to have fun in their cars, there is no pressure of racing each other or the clock so just enjoy.
There are basic rules for safety which will be discussed at the briefing before the day begins as per normal Motorkhana.
There will be 2 fire extinguishers and a first aid kit in the shed should they be required. (the extinguishers have not be used in a long time, but have been tested
If you haven't contacted Jeff about entering or just coming for the drive, do so quickly.
Thankyou and we look forward to catching up with you all again.

Cooloola Car Club

LESS THEN 24 HOURS!!!!! i am so not going to be able to sleep tonight, i really can't wait. My clutch is starting to crumble under the amount of power i am now putting through it (its the NA clutch woot!) but it should live on the pan as i am sure the wheels will give way before it does.

Guys (and girls) we had a great day thanks to all of you, it is always a much easier day for those of us who organise and run these events when we have a great bunch of competitors who really do enjoy the events. We have posted some pictures on our web site for you to look at, we always welcome more to add to our site, just email our editor first. www.c3zone.org is where you will find us.
Cheers

Cooloola Car Club President

Yeah, I had a good time too Was quite surprised how well my little stock 4k powered ke70 went in the "drags" with its stuffed suspension and all
Otherwise, confrimed my thoughts that it really is shit for getting the ass out! Couldn't do it anywhere so decided to go with Jeff mostly as that was heaps more fun!
Better bring lots of sunscreen and water for the November one!

That's prolly why you did well, it's faster if you dont get the ass out too much!
I didnt realise that was you, should have put it together with the 1jz shirt though.

I saw that 1jz shirt, pretty good idea, was that a diy job or is there a place selling engine-themed shirts?
Here's some more pics from the day....
long line-up to get on the pan
attempt at an arty looking photo
gti-r sideways
look at those little people standing on the soarer's roof! hehe

Adamaw11: didn't realise you were on here either. Your car was very quick on the "drags". I was impressed
Also, the shirt was bought off some guy on here. The thread was deleted because it was deemed commercial though.
