TECCWA Red Mist Autokhana Series 1 2012 - February 26th

[GeneSPIDA]

*** Results Spreadsheet Updated ***

NOTE: With people using different cars the following process is used in the rankings:

• Times for different cars listed on separate lines
• At the end of the series, where results will be based on your 4 best event times (i.e. 2 won't count), this will be done by car if possible (meaning only 1 car can post 4 times out of the 6).
• If times for different cars end-up needing to be combined for your 4 event times, the highest class will apply, even if you used a car in a lower class for 1 or more events to qualify for the 4.

Following our successful first club-run Motorkhana in November, we are now opening entries for our first series event for 2012. Note, we will now be referring to this event as the TECCWA Red Mist Autokhana Series 1 2012 to better reflect it's status.

NOTE: There have been several changes in terms of calculations for penalties, engine modifiers, and cost/discounts, so please read the Supplementary Regulations where this has been documented.

AASA Club Racing Licence Application

The TECCWA Red Mist Autokhana Series 1 for 2012 will be held over 6 Sundays from January through to June 2012 at the Tiger Kart Club's rear car park, just behind Barbagallo Raceway and incorporating a morning and afternoon session with the following tentative dates:

Jan 29th
Feb 26th
Mar 25th
Apr 22nd
May 13th
Jun 24th

The event will be run under the National Competition Rules of the Australian Auto-Sport Alliance (AASA) and you will require an AASA licence to compete, which is in addition to the event entry fee. AASA license applications can be sent with your event entry and must be received by the Friday prior to the event to assist with smooth running on the day.

As some may already have CAMS racing licenses and have asked, I have confirmed with AASA that CAMS racing licenses for Speed and Non-Speed will be accepted for Motorkhana competition. We will need to see current licenses on the day as part of scrutineering.

Please refer to the Supplementary Regulations for details for the series, as we have implemented a cost strategy where multiple event entries attract a discount, and there is further details with regards to substitutions, refunds and qualifications for prizes, etc.

Payments can be made to the TECCWA bank account - we will accept event entry fees, AASA licence payments ($50 and valid for 12 months) and TECCWA membership payments ($50/yr for a full membership - contact Clint on 0403 733 054 or [email protected] for membership details):

Bank: Westpac
BSB: 036037
A/C: 363299
A/C Name: Teccwa
Use your surname and "AMx" or "PMx" as per your timing preference and number of events you are entering.

Your car will need to pass Scrutiny - Please check the supplementary regulations for requirements, but as a general guideline - tyres (anything goes so long as no exposed canvas/constructions are visible), brakes, suspension, body and interior fittings will be assessed before you can compete, and you will personally need enclosed shoes, long pants and sleeves while competing, a helmet with suitable rating/specification with convertible/soft top car drivers also requiring a full faced helmet. Unlicensed cars are also welcome - the onus is on you as to how you deliver them to the event.

Drinks and a BBQ menu will be available on the day so please bring some extra cash to cover your purchases.

In an effort to maintain the bitumen surface, we will employ the following conditions:

NO REVERSE GEAR - if you make an error while on a course up and need reverse - you will be issued with a "wrong way" and timed accordingly - please refrain from any form of static or aggressive burnout.

NO CLUTCH KICKS OR HANDBRAKING prior to corners to unsettle a car for drifting - sorry guys, this is not a drift event and no allowance will be given to anyone performing these actions. Progressive powerslides out of corners are fine - again, we are trying to protect the bitumen in order to keep a good relation with the venue owners.

Will be there again, money should be in the bank!

Question is, do I run my current tyres which I can be ruthless with (as they will have been replaced) or do I run the tyres that will be on my new rims... which will have way more grip. Decisions decisions...

[GeneSPIDA]

There will be 2 new course layouts in use at the February event, in addition to the Top Gear layout which will be the last course run each event to keep those board rankings moving.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I should be there this time. Give the clutch a workout.

[mullett]

Yup, Bevan and I are in again Gene, hopefully I'll have my own bloody car this time! Century v Decade grudge match FTW. Ian will probably be joining us too, I'll get him to sort out the paperwork and send it in.

I'll have to wait until i know more about work etc till i put my name down, would like to make it though. But new job > having fun unfortunately

[GeneSPIDA]

One week to go. Remember to get your entries in by Friday, preferably along with AASA license application (if needed) and scrutineering pre-checklist if possible to speed things up on the day.

If you are planning to enter, and haven't let me know, can you also let me know so I can track entries.

Doesn't matter too much, just mark the appropriate boxes. Although I've just updated the bolding now.

If it's too hard to email the forms or drop them off to me, you can bring them on Sunday Ben.

Ok i wasnt going to be in this as the track car is still not ready and i no longer have any skid tyres for the Soarer but another vehicle has come up so i'll be there

THere wont be any fasts but there may be hilarity and potential death

.... of a 3S-FC

[senn]

What the hell runs a Carby 3S-F?!? I thought the first car they were in had EFI?

EDIT: From Wikipedia - 3S-FC

Two-barrel carburettor version of the 3S-FE. This engine is found in lower-specification variants of the 1986–1992 Toyota Camry and its Holden Apollo twin (SL and SLX versions). Power is 82 kW (111 PS) at 5,600 rpm, with max torque of 166 N·m (122 lb·ft) at 3,200 rpm.

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA WOW! Almost as bad as the 1.5L Carby MR2....

[Sciflyer]

Thanks for that Ben now i know my optimum shift points for MAX POWER. The engine should be nicely run-in by sunday as it has 338,000km on the clock

[Mole]

The big question is, will it be a Camry or an Apollo?
