Targa quick guide

Hi, we've done lots of Gymhana in the past - but never a Targa rally. Is there much difference.
Apart from a non-broken and not too noisy car and club cards what else do you HAVE to bring?

Presumably MOT etc and I think I saw V5 was necessary, any other paperwork?
What about equipment like spill kit and SOS board?

Cheers - Andy

PS - it won't let me post this in the Targa section :(

Celica

I saw a picture of the Celica on FB, and wondered if it was for competing in. Targa Rallies have the same 30 mph tests you have seen before on the Gymkhanas, without any other faffing around. You will have no problem doing it.

Spill Kit - yes, tests on private land require them.
If you need one, Rally Preparation Services is a sponsor of the Endurance Road Rally Championship, and sells them conveniently on ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorsport UK-Regulation-Spill-Kit-Race-Rally-Off-Road-/260841658263?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cbb5fd797

SOS/OK board - sounds like a good idea. Many Endurance Rallies include them on the back of the road book, so perhaps we should for Targas. I can bring a CMC SOS/OK clipboard along if you would like.

The restricted forum is a hang-over of the gymkhana days - I'll have to look at relaxing that. You only paid for membership today; it will take a little time before the membership secretary updates the system, and it thinks you are a member again.

OK/SOS

Tony, can these boards be purchased directly from the club? I would like to get one for the little Mini if possible...

It has been quite a while

It has been quite a while since we bought some, but I still have several - I'll bring another one along on Sunday.

clubcards

Hi Tony, emailed

on Monday about getting mine and Mike's clubcards in time for the weekend but haven't heard back. Do you happen to be in the know of how we can get hold of them in time? Cheers, Andy

I should see Gary Nicholls on Thursday night, so can bring along cards if he gives them to me then.

thanks Tony would be good if you could arrange that. Just got finals through by email so we're in! Is there a meeting at the pub tomorrow? I could swing by for the paperwork. Cheers, Andy
