I've been looking for some safe and rewarding sideways action and this looks like it! Details below from the Facebook page. get in sooner rather than later. Supp regs are out soon if you sign up (i.e. hit 'Like' on Facebook)

With another summer almost upon us it's time to start considering where you will get your Motorsport fix while most disciplines take a break. What is your Rally weapon, Autocross beast, Khanacross bunky, or pretty much any other road going or off road going vehicle going to do over summer except slowly rust and fail due to neglect? :-)

The Summer Autocross series is the answer.

For those unfamiliar with the Summer Autocross series, in conjunction with the Perth Motorplex, we set up an Autocross track on the speedway circuit on a Wednesday night. Most nights you will have at least 4 x 3 lap runs over the circuit (or 5 if you make the final). With 3 cars on the track at once it is also great spectating while you are waiting for your next run. The Final is a 5 Laps for the fastest 3 cars.

Your times appear almost immediately on a screen in the pit area so not only can you take the p out of your mate, you can also see whether that left foot braking move was actually faster or not. It is your fastest run of the evening that counts towards the Trophies and Championship Points Table.

Typically we have 4 or 5 rounds in the series with Trophies awarded on the evening for each Class of competitors. In addition points are allocated each round and count towards the Summer Autocross Champion for each of the classes.

What cars are eligible? Pretty much anything that is safe and has a seat belt and fire extinguisher. If my poor Mazda MX5 daily driver...and no I am not a hairdresser...is capable of competing then I am sure that anything else is more than capable, although I am not sure about a Lada Niva! (A few dodgy pics from last year are here)

For those who have already competed before one change being planned for this year is that at each round of the series one class will be chosen to participate in the Final rather than it just always being the Turbo 4WD Rally cars. i.e. One round will be 4WD's in the final, at the next round it may be 2WD Experienced, the next 2WD Novice etc etc

But wait...there's more...each driver also has free entry for one service crew/spectator.

Got a reply to some questions:


"Gravel tyres would be helpful certainly, but are not mandatory. The track gets quite dry and grippy by the end of the night and gravel tyres have less of an advantage then.
No a cage is not required, in fact if they let an MX5 compete a WRX will pass no probs.
At this stage entry is expected to be $90 (although it may need to rise slightly if we have very low numbers but I wouldn't expect it to be anymore than $100)


Supp Regs are at CAMS for approval, but pencil in Wednesday, 2nd November for Round 1."

This is heaps of fun, I try to get into a couple every season at least. My wife drives too!

Will be there with the silvia or charade.

It's true about the gravel tyres, hold back for your first couple of runs, and road tyres are enough.
