Grass roots motorsport is alive and well and just as important as ever!
In this Episode of The Skid Factory Woody heads to a local hidden race track to check out some budget Gymkhana racing.
The Sunshine Coast Motorsport Club hosts a variety of events throughout the year ranging from Hillclimbs to Sprints and Gymkhana events like this one.
Timmy's home built Yamaha R6 powered Shifter Kart is a good example of the type of vehicle that can be used in these events. Timmy took a bare 250 Shifter kart chassis and a crashed R6 Bike and used the parts to create his extended wheelbase and track "Death Kart". All done on a tight budget in his home shed.
There are Grass Roots Motorsport Clubs in most areas of Australia so if you are keen on some cheap fun and honing your driving skills while meeting like minded people then seek out a Club in your area and get racing!
Want to support the club and donate your time / some spare tools? please Email Tim for more Information: SCHobbyPark@proton.me

Please note: We're just a couple of Mates hanging out in the shed, There's no big production companies, fancy cameras or Scripts, We love what we do and try our best to create quality content for you to enjoy every week. Sometimes that includes a steering rack conversion, Other times it's as simple as bolting on some wheels to our daily drivers. Don't forget that working on cars isn't easy and can be dangerous.
