Khanacross- Parklands, Gold Coast- With Pics
Just a up coming event, 3 VW's from the VWDCQ have entered in the khanacross at the parklands on sunday. The event is a side show for the Street fest
and vette fest as part of the indy festival which are also being held at the parklands this weekend. Come along and have a look, or if your interested
in racing come along and have a chat to one of the entrants about getting invovled.
Cheers

I think racing is from about 9am but call it 10 to be safe. Entries have closed, but hopefully we get a good turn out, as teh MGCCQ iron man is on
also.

I popped along for a quick look, man was that cruiser quick- no shame getting beaten by that one. Saw the last run of the dubs- looked like great fun.

I have been getting the car set up and normally compete every 2nd weekend or so in something. At present we are getting the car and my self ready for
a an assult on the autocross series and the new khanacross series that will be starting next year. Iam normally towards the pointy end, and normally
in the top 5 road cars. haven't won an event yet, have come close a few times (had a 15 sec lead at a khanacross and they put me out after the water
truck and I spun twice  on the last run of the day!!!!) but i have only be
getting serious over the last year. Got to really work on consistancy as its my biggest downfall. but when your racing against fully prepped rally
escorts etc, getting into the top 4 in class is pretty good for a street car. and within the club we have 3 of us who compete, graeme is really good
at the motokhana's, iam more of a khanacross/autocross person, and John (johnyb from here) loves his long course racing. but john is being a great
help and spending alot of time getting me up to speed both the car and practice. (if you read this, big cheers to johnyb :beer) John has been out of
it for a while and once beck in the grove will be hard to beat. (he drives the red class 4 baja)

vwrallycar we normally have 2 of us there and make sure are seperated by a few other cars so we can take pics while racing. What do you normaly race
in? I should be up at rocky (well yeppoon) for new years this year, have to catch up and trade stories.
Pete, the results are at home waiting for me, so I will look up exactly how fast is was going. but with 4wd and the weight to aid in traction it makes
and awesomne weapon if it has enough power (which this one has plenty of!!!!)

How do I get involved in this? I'd love to give it a crack. I have a Manx buggy and a second manx that is currently getting an EJ22 Transplant that
would be great fun at events like this.

Best bet would join the VWDCQ, as they are the only vw club at present that are cams affliliated in QLD (iam pretty sure), then come along and have a
go, or spectate so you know whats going on. If you contact John (sporting captain of VWDCQ) or myself (VP VWDCQ) 0428 743 590 we can get you going on
what you need or come along to the next club meeting on the 25th of this month at he german club.The next event is at willobank on the 14th of
november. you will need to go racing
- membership of a cams affiliated club (VWDCQ or one of the major clubs HSCCQ, IWMAQ, MGCCQ, BSCC)
-Get a 2S lisence, just fill in the form and send in the cheque (about $80/yr last time i checked)
-A roadworthy or safe car.
-road legal street tyres, not 4wd, rally or hand cut tires
-helmet
-fire extingisher
thats about it.
your an ex/current rover arn't you? going to QARM?
