Glenn Inkster AASA Motorkhana/Khanacross's
SKDAC will be running motorkhanas and khanacrosses under the AustralianAuto
Sport Alliance (AASA) for the foreseeable future. The AASA is quite different
to CAMS in that clubs approach them with an event they want to run and the
AASA sanction it provided it meets safety requirements. The reasons for the
change are due to the CAMS Officiating system being tooonerous to deal with and the unreasonable amount of paperwork (36pages!!!) associated with such a low-level event. The events won't actually be much different to what we have run in the past, aside for: *Helmets are required *Juniors must have a licenced adult in the car For the time being you can still compete on your CAMS 2NS licence. If you have any questions about what other changes this move will bring (like relaxed eligibility requirements) bring them with you to the next khana along with your entry form and car.

RALLY
The "serenity" at Bonnie Doon Victoria was
certainly spoilt last Saturday as once again the North Eastern Car Club ran its
annual rally through the town that was made famous by the Australian movie 'The
Castle'.
A total of 70 cars were entered with most teams
coming from the Victoria region. The only team from NSW was from SKDAC and
consisted of Carl Stewart from Nowra and Dean Price from Wagga in a Datsun 1600.
Carl had previously run the rally last year and managed to finish just off the
podium coming in 4th outright, so his challenge this year was to gain a podium
finish.
The event started at the Bonnie Doon Hotel which
was the central location for the rally. There were a total of 10 stages that
were run on the roads in and around the small country town. Conditions were near
perfect which made it an easy run for most competitors.
The event had two main spectator points that were
used twice throughout the day and it was great to see a fairly large crowd turn
up to support the teams.
Carl and Dean seemed to have a near flawless run
with only a few minor errors which didn't seem to effect their end result. This
was actually the first time the two members had competed together, and Dean had not navigated for 4 years
as he normally competes as a driver.
![]() Carl and Dean coming into a rather chopped up spectator point The rally came to a conclusion around 4pm and
everyone headed into the hotel for a well earned rest and a few drinks. Results
weren't finalised for another hour, so the two SKDAC boys waited anxiously to
find out if this year they had made the podium. To their delight they had not
only made the podium but had moved up 2 places from last year to 2nd place and
were only behind the winners, who were in an Mitsubishi Evo 5, by a 2 second
gap. A tremendous result for a little Datsun 1600, 2 wheel drive to come in so
close to a powerful 4 wheel drive. Carl and Dean were also ecstatic to find out
on stage 9 they had equalled the winners with their time, which should have been
an easy win for the Evo 5, for that particular stage, and won the last stage by 4 seconds.
Both members were extremely delighted and proud of
their achievements, especially Carl as this is his best result yet in his
rallying career and the Bonnie Doon Rally also holds a special spot in his heart
as he used to live in the town as a child.
The podium results were:
1st O/R and 1st in class E (over 2000cc 4wd) -
Derek Reynolds and David Kelly VIC
2nd O/R and 1st in class C (1600 to 2litre 2wd)
- Carl Stewart and Dean Price NSW
3rd O/R and 1st in class D (over 2litre 2wd) -
Darren Snooks and Matt De Vaus VIC

Narooma 2008
On the weekend on the 01Mar08
saw the running of the Narooma Booma Rally, held in and around the
beautiful town of Narooma and Bodalla. SKDAC was involved in the rally
with 5 teams and various other officials out in the forest. From the
reports so far the roads were in great condition, until some of
the re-run stages later in the night were found to be rather
rocky.![]() Dennis Stanford and Andrew Kohler on the way to 8th O/R The first SKDAC member home was Matt James naving for the fast charging Glen Farrant in the Excel in 6th place. Next was an excellent result for Dennis Stanford and Andrew Kohler in the Stanza in 8th. Following a little further back after a fantastic start to the event then hampered by electrical problems was Dave Roderts and Matt Mead in the red Excel in 22nd place. Only 4 cars further back was the hard charging Volvo man Nathan Senior (Spac) and Damien Murray in the Volvo 164. To finish it off with a very happy result even after a water crossing misshap, were the team Kermit consisting of Damien Soward and Kristy Offner in the 1200 coupe coming 36th O/R. As previously stated the club also were involved with various officials jobs, including running stage 3 (Commerong rd) and and some later control points later in the evening. ![]() Dave Roberts and Matt Mead Hyunday Excel ![]() Spac throwing the Volvo around (photos by Partick Malycha) SKDAC teams O/R: 6th---Farrant/James--Excel 8th---Stanford/Kohler--Stanza 22nd-Roberts/Mead--Excel 26nd-Senior/Murray--Volvo 164 36th--Soward/Offner--1200 Congratts to all of the teams, Carl Stewart Dan from Apex Decals
