I did a few like this the other week.

I find it's better to watch them do a run through, then sit and quietly have a read of the plans and run through in your head.

I would sit there and be going "left, right, left, left, right, left, etc"

That looks like a standard Group 5 meeting with a few more reversing tests.

You don't remember them. You run through them in your head and walk them if possible.
I fold up my chart and put it over my speedo.

I'd be keen to give them a go, just not the reversing ones!

I hate reversing in tests, too slow. Takes to much time away from speeding and droping big handbrakies.

I remember at Deca one of the other guys commented and yelled out "can we draw arrows on the track?"





I like reverse throws, great fun! (havent done any with full reverse sections though)

Willowbank Raceway, down the back at the skidpan.

I'll be in Gympie at another motorkhana on a wet cement skidpan. I put a thread up about it in the QLD section.

The tests above are a round of the Queensland Motorkhana Championship. So normally they are more difficult than regular tests. Something I may contest next year. This year had 3 rounds in Ipswich, 1 in Rocky, 1 in Maryborough and 1 on the Goldy.

I don't like reverse - because I've seen how small the reverse gears are in a G-series box.

I know I smash mine into reverse but I still don't like it.

Worse part is My Mx-6 turbos
H box uses a G-series reverse set in effect.
I don't think I'll subject it too that AGAIN .
Mind you it's solid mounts helped out.

I know form one guy who does alot of that stuff has a old civic with 98 model Vtec in it.
Shock absorbers on your engine - REALLY HELPS.
stopped him breaking engine mounts apparently.
Just don't attach them to your frotn radiator support.
Unless you have me to make you a new one out of solid alloy bar. And then don't run it into the back of a toyota Hilux.

Love it but

Good luck with it and just try ot take your time. The more you rush the more mistakes you make.

I did one with the Mx-6's 4WS - NOT ONE CONE SURVIVED the reverse Slalom. Soon as it boosted up you lost everything I mean everything. might help in parking but not anytihng above 10km/h.

If it's competition too - raise you tyres up too apparenlty this helps out alot.

I'm not a big motorkana fan as none of my cars are made for it. But it is alot of run.
Good luck Hope you have heaps - plus WE want PICS

Two G25MR boxes i've bought secondhand have had broken/bent reverse levers, so it's not an uncommon thing
