What is a Khanacross?

A Khanacross is a competition conducted on unsealed surfaces, bitumen or a combination of both and involving a series of timed tests of various layouts. Each test shall be designed to test the acceleration, braking and general manoeuvrability of the vehicle and the skill and judgement of the driver.

The Khanacross event is held at Colo Motorsport Park in the lead up to Off Road Racing events.

The key focus of the Khanacross event is to have fun and drive at your own speed and/or your level of experience permits.

There are a number of dirt tracks/circuits that are used for Khanacross, for example around the arena in front of the main camp and through the bush around various dirt tracks. These tracks although quite challenging in some places are a lot of fun and enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike.

Our Khanacross event this round was a great success, with 24 drivers of all ages and levels of experience participating in this exciting and rewarding event.

The fantastic organising crew from D&M Auto Electrics had changed up the ‘cloverleaf’ of four different tracks for this rounds event, incorporating a new ‘garage’, which had to be driven into and then reversed back out of in order to continue on one of the courses.

This new challenge was well received by the participants, allowing for further skills to be developed and practiced on the track.

The cars held up well, with very few issues occurring on the day, due to the preparation and maintenance undertaken by the crew from D&M Auto Electrics at the SORRA Working Bee held prior to the event.

At the end of the event there was a trophy presentation for the Khanacross participants across a number of car classes and participant ages.

Keep an eye on the www.sorra.com.au website for the next scheduled date and ‘Come and Try’ the one of the exciting Driver Training and/or Khanacross events.
