Notice from CAMS
At the Australian Sport and Club Development Commission meeting in mid June, the Commission made a number of changes to the Khanacross regulations and the Speed Event Standing regulations. The new regulations are attached and they were released on Friday. The changes are about making these events more accessible and helping inexperienced competitors and young people get involved in these events in a safe manner.

A summary of the key changes are below.

Khanacross regulations:

  • Will now allow bitumen khanacross competitions and a combination of bitumen and unsealed surfaces (used to be only unsealed surface with a maximum of 50m of bitumen). There will be a 50% higher permit fee for bitumen khanacross and combined surfaces khanacross events compared to the unsealed surface khanacross events (with a maximum of 50m of bitumen allowed). There is no change in the permit fee for dirt khanacross events.
  • Passengers are allowed in khanacross competitions (used to be only allowed in non-competition). This is for the purposes of instruction from an experienced driver supporting and guiding an inexperienced driver.
  • The age for competitors has been lowered from 14 years down to 12 years. 12 and 13 year olds are required to have an experienced passenger/instructor with them at all times (i.e. they must have an instructor with them while they compete).
  • There are a number of other changes to simplify the running and organisation of khanacross events.

Speed Event Standing Regulations:

  • Will now allow passengers (in the form of an instructor) for inexperienced drivers, but only for non-competitive/untimed events. This covers all Speed events.

If you would like to read the new Standing Regulations:

Series Registrations CLOSED

The LF Performance Speed Event Series Registrations are now CLOSED for 2011. Currently we have 114 Registered Series entrants. 2012 Registrations will more than likely be online, and will be available well before the start of the 2012 season. Anyone can still enter LF Performance Speed Event Series events, but Registered Entrants will have first dibs at entry and only Registered Series entrants will be eligible for trophies from those events (unless they are part of an invited group for that event, as per the Standing Regs for the Series).  A big thank you to all the competitors for their support, and we can only hope everyone has a very fast and enjoyable season!

11.6.2011 Updated Classifieds page, need a new lift Jack?

Results posted for Round 6 and 7, Windfarm and Mt Clarence Hillclimbs in Albany, see Results page. What a great weekend! Big thanks to all of the groups involved, all of the volunteers and to the great weather! Wrap-up and pics still coming.
Follow Great Southern Motorplex on Facebook and help get the new Great Southern Motorplex track up and running asap!

How to get to Windfarm and Mt Clarence

See both venues on Google map. Presentations for Saturdays event will be drinks and canapés from 5pm Saturday at Jaffa Java Cafe, Dog Rock Boulevarde, between Lockyer Ave & Middleton Rd.

29.5.2011
Just in case you didnt realise, the limitation of SES entrant numbers at last and previous years Albany events, will NOT happen again. Speed Event Series entrants now have priority entry, thanks to the events now being hosted by our new club hosts, Great Southern Motorplex Group Inc, the Great Southern Street Machine Group, with assistance from Collie Motorplex and other helpers. Entries now closed, with around 70 competitors, we look forward to a great weekend!

17.5.2011 Updated Take it to the Track Points for Round 4 Busselton, and Round 5 Jacks Hillclimb.

16.5.2011 Also found after event at Jacks, 3 various foldup type chairs, in the carport section top of hill, contact Peter Morley to retrieve yours! 0409 556 826

15.5.2011

  • Posted results from Jacks Hillclimb, see Results
  • Found Jack’s Hillclimb, top of course, pair of reading/distance glasses, bluish rim. Contact Michael Grogan to pickup.
  • The new numbers look great on the cars. If you didnt get your numbers yesterday, or you would like to get your numbers before Albany, please contact Jill to pickup. If you dont want to put numbers on permanently there are a couple of options. Put them on inside of a rear passengers window, affix number facing out and attach with clear or other tape (be careful not to damage your tint if you have it), or attach to outside of door with tape (leaving on backing paper). If you have put them on, as they were intended, without backing paper and on a door or window, you may be able to remove stickers and use again. Make sure you replace the stickers back onto CLEAN backing paper. If trying to remove, the sticker should be “warm” but not in full sun as that may allow the sticker to stretch out of shape. The sooner you try and remove them, the easier they will come off. You only get ONE set of complimentary stickers, so look after them. Replacement stickers will be $20/set of 2. The new numbers are for Registered LF Performance Speed Event Series entrants only.

Reminder to enter Albany events now!

All entrants are encouraged to grab some valuable points from these two rounds. A HUGE amount of work has gone into organising these two events and we want as many registered entrants as possible, to make it down to Albany to thank our new hosts, and make this, their first event, a roaring success. Book your accommodation now and take the opportunity to grab some extra points! A great weekend in Albany to be had, dont miss out.

Big surprise for Registered Entrants!

All registered entrants will get a pair of race numbers, on a 240mm square, picking them up today and will be handed out before tomorrows event at Jack’s Hillclimb. See Jill or Michael to get your numbers tomorrow morning.

.

Albany long weekend sorted folks!

Thanks to the hard work of our new hosts, Great Southern Motorplex Group Inc and the Great Southern Street Machine Group and helpers, the LF Performance Speed Event Series Rounds 6 & 7, Mt Clarence and Windfarm Hillclimbs is going to be a great weekend on 4th and 6th June.

Twitter and Busselton results
Thanks to Tony Beresford, the time tweet is now built into the results system and will be sent as soon as the times are made.
Tony is going to include the tag #BussoSprint11 in all the messages so if people search for that tag, whether or not they follow speedeventserie, they will get the times.  If they only want their own results, they can search for something like “#bussosprint11 car 23″.  Searches are not case sensitive.
Note that the 2 test times only have the tag #BussoSprint without the 11 but Tony has added the 11 for future tweets.
Follow us on Twitter for your results before your car has cooled down from your last run!

LF Performance Speed Event Series is now on Twitter!
Thanks to Tony Beresford, we hope to be able to tweet instant results from the Busselton Sprint. Follow the Speed Event Series at http://twitter.com/speedeventserie.
