Next autokhana event...

[whatdamn]

hi all, i'm starting this thread in hopes that someone who is somebody or knows somebody in the motorsport world would post any autokhana events as i think i'm not the only one who is rather interested in participating in one.

any tips regarding setup and the do's and dont's of autokhana are all greatly appreciated :)

thanks guys.

This year, there are 2 of such events that i know of : kks autocross, and the streetshootout. Autocross shud be more fun than autokhana, as the speeds are faster. Anyway, both are almost the same, just the speed diff. The kks event is in May, while the sso (streetshootout) i heard is gonna be in june.

Basically bring wat u drive, that is the way of autocross. Get ur car alignment done properly, take out all unnecessary things, loose items, bring a helmet, and drive it like u stole it when they say GO! That's the basics of it. But if u think u wanna move on, then there are many things u can do, at a low cost, to make u go faster. ;)

• Business cards for your new friends

No need AAM License from now on as it is called the KKS Autocross.
So it is a club event and no AAM racing license needed...cool
Stock Putra will be in KillerB's class...hehe

Whatdamn,

Welcome to grassroot racing.....

Yup... KillerB was right Autocross is more fun. In fact, I myself prefer autocross.
I think I might have seen you before. Where do you guys TT usually?

For comparison. KKS Autocross is more towards Gymkhana style. SSO is pure autocross.

LanNismo,


1st timer no need to re-build cars. just make sure brakes and engine working well. after the event you'll have a better idea what you want to improve on and mod. even the champ is doing continuous improvement.;)

Haha I don't mind small roundabouts, in fact I love it! LOL.

It's the kerbs and trees that's a killer. :D
