Motorkhana's

[XR6Gal]

Today I did something that I haven't done before, which was a Motorkhana and I must say, what a blast!!! There was about 60 cars that were entered & we had 10 different courses that we had to complete. For those of you who don't know what a Motorkhana is, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorkhana

It was done on a skid pan at Gympie and I was in my dads car for the day, his R33 Skyline, which was fun & interesting as I've only driven it limited times. I was quite nervous the first few courses but once I got into the swing of things it was a lot of fun. I was pretty happy with how I went all day, I think I only spun out once which was on the last run (thankfully it wasn't timed). So suffice to say I was absolutely stoked when the trophy's came out & I got second place in my class : (there were 10 in my class) I was only beaten by 2 seconds for first!

I think the great thing about Motorkhana's is that you don't necessarily have to have the fastest car there, so everyone has a fair chance of winning. I was beaten by an old Corolla & 3rd place was a '06 Suzuki Swift hehehe. There was a good variety of cars, although there were a lot of Skylines there, some of the Torana club was there too & there was a couple of Fords giving it a shot also.

Has anyone else had a go at Motorkhana? If so, what do you think?
