Loved the dirt and still do, but these days hillclimbs, street sprints and circuit racing are my true love! πŸπŸ’¨

πŸ† Favourite Events:
Leyburn β€” next year will mark 10 years competing there, along with Morgan Park and Gunnedah Hillclimbs.

πŸ… Best Results:
Many great results in the litre class, while also competing successfully in Sports Sedans across multiple decades! πŸ‘

πŸ”§ Biggest Achievement with the Club:
The biggest achievement has been all the volunteer work over the years β€” helping set up and run rallies, Motorkhanas and Khanacross events.

πŸ™Œ More than 40 years of competing, volunteering and supporting the club is an incredible contribution!

Sundays Khanacross Round 5 Results.

πŸ”₯ A few standouts
James was seriously quick. A 599.62 total put him 7.02 seconds clear of Doc and nearly 20 seconds ahead of Matt.
The Laser was particularly strong across the day.

Matt in the WRX had a moment on Run 8 with a wrong direction getting a 67.35, β€” after being consistent most of the day beforehand. Despite that, he still brought it home 3rd outright.

πŸ† Class results
2WD: James Clarkβ€” 1st
4WD: Doc O'Connell β€” 1st
Junior: Jake Coventry β€” 1st
Ladies: Beth Plattfordβ€” 1st

And there were some very close battles, James and Doc were separated by only 7 seconds, while Matt and Andrew were just 6.76 seconds apart.
Looks like the Mighty Laser is definitely the weapon to beat at the moment! 😎

πŸ†Outright Winners

πŸ₯‡- James Clark - 1st
πŸ₯ˆ- Doc O’Connell - 2nd
πŸ₯‰- Matty Carey - 3rd
