FUNkhana (fun-khan-a): First and foremost,
is suppose to be lots of FUN, thus the name. Other
than that, it is the same as an
autocross but slower and usually involves a test of
driving skills such as backing or other skills which
require driver-navigator teamwork.
In a FUNkhana, the classes are not by Vette year,
as with autocross, they are by Team type: Man
(driver)/Women (navigator), Man/Man, Woman/Man and
Woman/Woman. It also doesn't matter what
modifications your Vette have on it - a Vette is a Vette
- this is more about timing, skill and being able to
work with your Team mate.
