Archetype Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm bringing old smokey before I take the engine out for a rebuilt. Are you allowed to use different cars for different events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_C Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm bringing old smokey before I take the engine out for a rebuilt. Are you allowed to use different cars for different events? Yes, but would need to enter each one seperately I think. Will not be able to collect points for series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Any details on vehicle spec required. I have a few to pick from in the shed but none are caged.(yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'd say the motorkhana is pretty casual as far as vehicle spec goes. I did one of the Fiat Club Waikato motorkhanas in my MX5 a couple of years ago, and that's just a shitty road registered car with no cage or anything. Pretty sure I did it with the hard top off and no helmet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 In the second post the last link is the min specs for the cars. Motorkhana and autocross both do not need a rollover bar for open top cars, but for the whole series you do not need a cage in closed roof cars for the events. You do not need a roll cage for any Tarmac clubsport event for closed roof cars. What else you want to know or concerned about... EDIT: because was drunkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thank you fine sir, after a second viewing I did come across the link as mentioned above.. Â Looks like I need to sort my M licence and get myself some proper safety gear first.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 You dont need a m class lic if its your first teo events ever.. for you m class lic you need to be part of a Motorsport nz affiliated car club, the Auckland university car club is the cheapest at $12 a year otherwise it's always nice to support the fiat club who put the series on. 100% cotton workshop overalls are fine for clubsport events. Mitre10 have fire cans with 2 metal straps for $35 which are perfect. Most people use these. A helmet is the other thing - go to the Motorsport nz page and under the schedule a driver safety there is a listing of helmet certifications - the helmet just needs to meet one of those certifications. Just print it out and head to a motorcycle shop and test fit the helmets that meet one of the certifications - mist do these days. Yes dirt bike helmets also are acceptable if they meet the certicification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Anyone bringing a car down or trailering their can down that can fit a bonnet in the back and bring it up to Auckland for me? glue it to the roof? Â Â I was planning on making this, but still have parts coming in from UK, so won't have enough time to stitch it all together. Aiming for the second event instead. Fingers crossed.

mikuni Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Well yeah, from past experience it took 3 days to get from UK to Auckland and 3 weeks to get through customs and make its way from Auckland to Hamilton... But either way, the car can't go far without a pedal box, so I'll just wait patiently until it's here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I had that with my spherical bearings. 2 days from the UK and then 3 weeks bouncing around Auckland mail centers where no one scanned the package so no-one knew where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
