'Go-fast' drivers can run Sunday
Screeching tires, screaming engines, and "go-fast" drivers will be the scene Sunday at the Malls Shopping Center.
A gymkhana for sports car and sedan drivers will be sponsored by the Jayhawk Sports Car Club (JSCC) and Kansas Region of the Sports Car Club of America.
The gymkhana, called "Psychedelikhana" by its creators, will consist of a quarter-mile closed course bordered by pylons, rubber cones.
"The course will be fast and challenging," said Buck Entriken, 1343 Tennessee, marshal of the event. Entriken added that the design of the course would be roughly in the shape of a flower.
Gymkhanas, Entriken said, are essentially tests of a driver's skills in situations involving acceleration and braking. The object is to negotiate the course in the shortest time possible.
Only one car at a time is allowed on a gymkhana course. Each entrant is given a practice run and then drives the course twice more against the clock. Timing is electronic and measured to .001 second.
Eight men's and women's classes have been established for the gymkhana-five for sports cars and three for sedans.
"There are classes for almost anything driveable," Entriken said, "except that we don't allow go-karts, sprint racers and Volkswagen buses."
Registration begins at 9 a.m. Sunday and will be open all day, Entriken said. Seatbelts and decent—not bald—tires are required of all cars. Each driver must also wear a helmet which JSCC will provide if the driver doesn't have his own.
