khanacross, richmond, TAS 25/6/2006

**cooper** · 14-06-2006, 01:32 PM

The mg car club tas are running a khanacross on Sunday 25 june at kellyfield, just out of richmond. A khanacross is basically a long course motorkhana. There will be a maximum of six tests run with a convoy run prior to each test. Entry fee is $35, scrutineering begins at 8.30 with drivers briefing at 10.00. Requirements are a cams L2NS or higher licence, helmet, and a fire extinguisher (minium 900g). This will be a good day out, run on grass so not to hard on tyres/cars and heaps of fun. Come along and put your driving skills to the test, who knows, you might even pick up some new skills.

Very interesting, is this part of the motorkahna series?

Car club membershio required also?

Thanks for the heads up and info. Mick

Mik, this is not a round of the series, the next round is a sealed (but usually dusty) event in the pits of the latrobe speedway on July 30.
Membership of a cams affiliated car club is a requirement, but if you hold a cams licence you should allready have this. It is a multi club event so any affiliated club membership fine.

are spectators welcome?

**cooper** · 14-06-2006, 05:51 PM

They sure are.

Hi el foolio. You can get a cams junior licence without having a drivers licence so you can compete. You must join a club and get the appropiate licence. I competed in motorkhanas when I was 14. ( yes, yes, they did have cars then!) They are the very best way to learn car control and manouvering at not excessive speeds. Its very possible to finish up the order as a lot of smarties get out there going wild and knock over the marker sticks giving them penalties! Go on, have a go, you will enjoy it.

Hay Zac!

Here are some details that may be of interest to you! Too old for a Junior licence, but $46 is pretty good value!

Level 2 Non Speed Licence
Use a Level 2 Non Speed (2NS) to compete in:
+ motorkhana and khanacross events up to International level
+ observed section trials
+ touring road events which contain no closed road sections and no non-race speed sub-events
+ touring assemblies and non-timed road events
+ drifting events

Pre-requisites
Medical
+ Complete Health Statement on application form

Age
+ You must be at least 18 years of age. A junior licence is available for those between 12 and 17 inclusive. You need to be 12 years to compete in Motorkhana. You need to be 16 to compete in Khanacross, unless you have competed in Motorkhana before in which case the minimum age is 14.

Cost
$46 (Junior $11)

I've got a skid pan session coming up soon, so you are more than welcome to join the boys for some similar action! About $50 to join the HSCC (Hobart Sporting Car Club) for a year!

El foolio, you have to 16 to compete in a khanacross as it is a higher speed event than a motorkhana. I think you can compete in motorkhnans when you are 12 years old. You can also compete in club days at race tracks after your 14th birthday. The MG car club has discount membership fees for junior members,$20.00 anually. They also present a perpetual trophy for the junior with the most competition points at the end of the year. I am not sure of cams junior licence fees, but they have an office in Hobart and will be fairly helpful. Should you wish to join the MGCC pm and i can nominate you, or talk to other folk in other car clubs, you might find better membership fees, but i doubt it.
