just out of interest.. say if sum1 was to enter, with a car that had heaps of hooch.. and they used um, over acceleration, and sustained loss of traction to navigate the course lol.. would they get the beat down?

Possibly slightly unrelated, but the NZ description of autocross (as compared to the Wiki one) is to be found over here nb:pdf file

30 people, but more will ensure more prizes..


Thanks Leon, we did discuss this and decided most people would understand autocross instead of motorkahna, time trials etc etc

cheers
