Definately keen, just a shame it's this weekend and not next.

Last month I have had: 3 Uni subjects at my throat, Anniversary to the boss, my birthday, her birthday, moving house, my cousins wedding in the Hunter.

Never enough time in each day at this moment!

Yeah, that should be fine. Hopefully I'll see you there.

You sure will. Now, the car doesn't need a single thing for motorkhana right i.e. no fire extinguisher? and I only need a helmet?

Not even a helmet most c ases. But bring it anyway. And you need your full length fire resistant clothing (cotton).

Yeah, you really shouldn't need a helmet. The only time I've ever heard of a motorkhana requiring helmets was in QLD and it isn't normal even up there. I normally just wear a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans. I don't believe you need a fire extinguisher, though both our cars have them installed anyway for other events. Other than that, you turn up, pull everything out of the boot and you're pretty much set.

It is normal up here in qld to wear helmets in any CAMs events when in an open top vehicle & I actually thought that was national but could easily be wrong.
Have a great event - if I wasn't at a corporate day on Sunday flogging other people's Porsches I'd be tempted to pop down. It's only 8 hrs each way. :-)
