May 28th Levin Paddock Motorkhana - RAINED OFF!!

Postby Leon » Mon May 01, 2006 2:53 pm

Harbour Capital Car Club invites you to play in the paddock!

Donnelly Park, Levin.
Left at second set of traffic lights in Levin, then keep on keeping on until the road narrows dramatically, and you see Adkin Ave in your left (also huge Donnelly Park sign). Donnelly park is on the right hand side of Adkin Ave, and you will see us in the paddock past the playing fields.

Required:
Motorsport NZ Car Club Membership
$20
The willingness to chuck your car around a paddock and have a lot of fun.

No rally tires allowed, to respect the venue.

All playing to be done within the confines of the paddock. Absolutely no silly buggers will be tolerated outside the venue. We will call the police, and we will make sure anyone doing anything stupid outside the venue is talking to a member of the law enforcement community. It hasn't happened yet, but it only takes the once for us to lose the venue and the help of the Levin council

The venue is fairly road car friendly, but be prepared for some bumps and bouncing.

Awesome way to learn some car control, and dip your toes in the water. Friendly atmosphere, and drive as fast or as slow as you want.

A Motorkhana is basically the same as the Toyspeed Grasskhana. So it is lowish speed precision driving, with reversing, handbrake turns, reversing into garages. That sort of stuff. No helmet or overalls required.

Both of them yours ;)

just changed the date of the June Kapiti autocross from 17th to 18th (they moved the event).

Playing in paddock. Sunday. Be there or be a four sided shape with each side being equal, and each angle being 90 degrees.

Being rained on doesn't matter if you're on tarmac ... but the paddock was a bog due to heavy rain all day Saturday. From the man in Levin "I don't think you'd even get in the gate".

Plus, if you run on the paddock in that state, you end up ripping the paddock to bits. Also, it isn't much fun.

From a previous muddy event ... that's just some of the mud from out of one wheel well.
