The 22nd March 2015
Khanacross results
I was a case
of dejavu for some of the drivers at the Douglas Shire Motor
Sports Associations khanacross last Sunday.
Cairns driver Ross Dunkerton again set some blistering times
in his Datsun 1600 but another seniors moment and a penalty
for a wrong direction, again handed the win to Greg Erwin in
his Nissan Micra.
Justin Van Dyk jumped into the club car after his Hyundai
suffered mechanical issues and finished an impressive third
ahead of Greg Skyring’s Galant and a fast finishing Stacie
Stephenson.
Stacie’s fifth place finish also had her first in the Ladies
class ahead of Kara North and Cassidy Pumpa.
In the junior class it was a race between the two Flynns
with both youngsters putting in some impressive lap times.
Coming into the last run of the day Flynn Erwin was just a
second ahead of Flynn Dunkerton.
Unfortunately it all went wrong for young Dunko when he
clipped the inside bank exiting Treeline and rolled his
Hyundai. Flynn was unhurt (except his pride) but his car
will need some work before the next event.
Flynn Erwin went on to win the junior class and finish a
very respectable seventh outright. Second in the juniors was
Heath Barry who again beat both his parents and third was
Kara North.
Carl Johanson finished eighth outright and third in the rear
wheel drive class. With this years re working of the classes
and some improvements to his V8 Fairlane his times were only
a couple of seconds off the leaders.
The Associations next event is April 19th.
