MOTORKHANAS
A MOTORKHANA is a cheap and
enjoyable form of motorsport and at
the same time is one of the most
competitive. It is an event in which you
can use almost any vehicle (standard
road cars can be very competitive)
and is primarily a test of driver skills.
GRASS • gravel • Tarseal
Autocrosses
An AUTOCROSS is the ideal environment
in which to learn or improve car control
skills while at the same time having a lot
of fun. It is an event that favours driver
skill over outright horsepower, but at
speeds higher than those experienced in
motorkhanas.

HILFORD ROAD
Hillclimbs
HILLCLIMBS are generally the highest form
of motorsport that can be competed in
using a normal road car.
They are so named because the finish line
must be at a higher altitude than the start
line and the course must be mostly uphill.
SPRINTS
¼ Mile - Street - Bent - Rally
SPRINTS are a relatively inexpensive form
of motorsport and yet very competitive. All
sprints are primarily a test of the vehicle's
performance and the drivers ability to
control the vehicle.
Sprints can range from - 1/4 Mile Sprint,
Bent Sprint, Rally Sprint, Street Sprint
