The 1st September 2013 Khanacross and
Junior Motorkhana results
The latest event held at the Reef and Rainforest track was
on Sunday 1st September and was a celebration of a number of
dad's doing what they love best...Racing! It was perfect dry
and dusty conditions with new members Stephanie Byrne and
her dad Peter Byrne and returning members Stick Quinn and
Craig Walker with his son Harry enjoying the camaraderie and
competitiveness.
In the Junior Motorkhana there were seven drivers lined up
with three new comers Sean Demunk, Tobias Janssen and Flynn
Dunketon giving it a real go with four fastest lap times.
Seems Flynn may have inherited some of his fathers genes in
the need for rally driving. The final result with perfectly
consistent runs was Cassidy Pumpa in first place, with less
than a second in between for Flynn Dunkerton in second place
and Krystal Secker in third place.
In the Khanacross event there were twenty-six drivers lined
up ready to go. The pace was fast and furious with partners
not letting Father's Day getting in the way with Mel Irwin
beating her partner Carl Johanson, also Michelle Van Dyke
beating her hubbie Justin Van Dyke.
There was a slight altercation on track when Stick Quinn
went back to nature and headed for the sticks, literally!
His car came out limping back to the pits with him finishing
the day in the club car to ensure he had final results for
the day.
The final results for the Khanacross saw once again
consistently smooth and fast runs prove to be the winning
combination with Matt Coulson in first place with all runs
bar one with fastest laps, with Bruce Perry in his 4wd in
second place, and John Kenna 7/10's of a second behind
taking up third place.
In the Ladies class saw Krista O'Dell in first place, Hayley
Kenna in second place and a first time podium finish for
Michelle Van Dyke in third place. In the Juniors it saw Josh
Coulson in First place, Hayley Kenna in second place and in
his first ever Khanacross event was Harry Walker in an
impressive third place. Well done to all drivers and
organisers, it was a great day again.
