Ok, for starters, you cleary have no idea of what the QLD Challenge is... its a touring road event, taken at street legal speed, with closed subsections... nothing's saying you have to drive these bits like Seb Loeb, just drive them, appreciate that its not this often you get to drive on some of QLD's best roads, meet heaps of people, and get an appreciation for something other than a mind bogiling 16sec qtr mile....
LOL @ Ryan!

Seriously, it sounds like any class I could enter would be extremely competitive if it goes on capactiy/weight. I would think there are a whole bunch of Civics and Celicas that would smite me and even the quicker guys on here around a street course. I am curious, and really just wondering if the experience is worth more than the wear and tear on the car?

Dude, any given pass over Glorious is more wear and tear than the QLD Challenge...
Ok... 1. you need a nav... anyone... basic map stuff... not hard... 2. 2kg worth of fire extinguishers... 3. Basic looking first aid kit... 4. If your car has the battery in the factory standard position then you don't need a blue triangle... 5. Car club membership... $35 6. Cams license, one time licenses can be had for about the same amount... That's IT! Seriously guys, get an AGT group together... this is the most fun you'll have with a standard street car in one day... $110 bucks, all costs, lunch included.... Last year's closed speed sections included the autocross track, 2. sprint round QUT gatton campus, 3. sprint down prince henry drive at toowoomba, and a couple sprints round wivenhow dam... Its not more risk that anything you guys do an any street on any given day, except that you know no one is coming the other day... I'm entering my brand new $33k ute full well knowing that if anything happens to it my rally and financial carreers are in ruines... so you guys have no excuses!!!

ok, 2S license costs $85 and lasts for 1 year guys, so better to get that and then you can go in motorkhanas and autocrosses at later dates also.

just as a side note, if I can sort out the heat issues with the car, im keen on this qld chalange thing, provided I can get the spare time.
Greg, you should start a thread in the QLD forums. //edit Ryan, if you want a nav, id be happy to do it and split the costs of entering the car with you. Ill just need to sort out a cams lisence. Last edited by Ian; 07-05-2006 at 11:29 PM. |

Looks like at least a few of us will be getting the 2S licenses, I'm thinking if the PC license cos I wanna start running queensland raceway in pro cup / modded streets. At $341 + $44 cams handbook, I better start saving now.
Motorkhana at Federal just north of cooroy this Sunday (Mother's Day.) $20 entry... If you wanna see some grass / dirt action? Come to this. Blue Lightning will be in it!!! Or you can just come and watch. I think lunch will be provided. Greg??? Last edited by project.r.racing; 08-05-2006 at 08:46 AM. |
