@aleshamahon you may want to go to a race meet just to see what gos on oranz web site has a race calendar posted for the 2010 seson have a look

@aleshamahon In a season if everything goes ok you may only need to do oil changes. It does depend on your luck and how many accidents/ crashes you may be involved in. For my overall expesses on an average year about $2,000. As far as the cost of motors go it depends on the size of the motor. A 1300 motor like i have you can pick up for about $1000. Hope this helps.

Cheers Pete

@559hb thank you - I will phone around... in the mean time do you know what are the running cost of these - do they require frequent repairs/readjustments to the running gear, even if no crashes/blown engines occur? Cheers

Hi there, I'm an avid motorcyclist but looking for some advise into purchasing a twin-seater offroader - partly because my sisters are still too young to ride motorcycles by themselves around the farm (and surrounding trail) so instead of a tip-over prone quad, Hammerhead 250 or Polaris RZR170 I'm thinking of a oranz buggy or 4x4 that can also be used for racing when not taking the wee ones for rides -...

...I've skimmed over the rulebook but there are just too many classes to make sense of what's the most cost effective/best bang-for-the-buck option - don't really want a VW based ride. I'm in Chch with a $6000 budget limit for such a toy. Any thought would be appreciated, cheers, Alex.
