What you need for a CAMS officiated motorkhana:

1. Membership in a car club                Yes
2. Cams Licence.                              Yes
3. A Car. Registered or unregistered?  Doesn't matter, just get it there 
legally!
4. Protective clothing                       Adequate clothing, no thongs 
or singlets. Helmet is not required
                                                      as long as you have a 
tin top ( required for convertibles,
                                                      Clubmans, etc)
5. Fire extinguisher.                          No
6. Strip interior of the car?                 No
7. Bonnet pins                                 A "secondary bonnet 
restraint", so anything really. I've seen
                                                      people use leather 
belts.
8. Roadworthy car.                           No, but the car will be 
scrutineered, make sure there's no
                                                      leaks in the engine 
bay, the wheel nuts are tightened
                                                      (no, seriously, some 
people forget this) and other basic stuff.

I'm sure it's now compulsory to purchase a CAMS manual with your license 
now, which covers every rule in all types of competitions.

Hope this helps

As far as I know that doesn't apply to motorkana cars considering many of
them were daily drivers in some of the events I have attended.  You get a
free logbook with your CAMS licence though, so I kept records but no one
ever asked to see it, not even for hillclimbs.
Man speaking of which, that was fun! Hill climbs that is, I went to an dirt
hillclimb a while ago, need a few more requirements though, needed bonnet
pins, fire extingusher, ankle to wrist clothing, a helmet and everything 
had
to be removed from the car, contents of the glove box, jack, spare tire,
everything.  Just as well cause some guy rolled his Celica, wouldn't want
things flying around in a roll over.  Those requirements aside, the car was
still my daily driver and road legal.  I was a member of the Gippsland Car
Club, great club that, has about 300 members and owns its own hillclimb
track and motorkana area.  Can't have any fun here in the ACT all the
forrests and dirt roads are chained off :(
