Yesterday seen more than 50 drivers tackle the khanacross and motorkhana in very dusty conditions, yes even after more than 30mm of ran 2 days before the complex was very dry but the track was also very hard and stood up to the conditions and traffic very well.

Tristan Penhall (Subaru WRX) backed up the previous khanacross win with another round win. Brendon Paynting having his first drive in his newly acquired Subaru WRX was closely behind in second with Scott Innes in aother WRX in third. In total there were 13 drivers competing in AWD Subaru's this made it tough competition for the championship contenders. Craig Hardiman, who cannot be beaten, had a bad start, having a detour on hs second run costing him more than 20 second, this left him back in 8th overall, John Hardiman and Gary Doherty both struggled in the conditions also finishing down the order.

Class B Honors went to John Strauch after a battle with Team Skyline  team mate Dean Smith in 10th and 1th overall

Class A seen Daryl King in 6th outright in his Toyota Corolla.

In the juniors Lewis Penhall (Subaru WRX) pushed the senior runner all day finishing in 4th outright.

Renee Larter, also driving a Subaru WRX, was the best of the ladies in 5th outright while Natasha Gill-Symons (Datsun 1600) was the best placed junior lady.

Once again the dads showed the way in the motorkhana with Peter Panozzo (Datsun 1600) leading home Peter Thomas (Nissan Pulsar)  and Jimmy Gill (Datsun Stanza). Craig Thomas (Nissan Pulsar) extented his lead in the junior championship by taking the junior section ahead of Luke Farrar (Nissan Pulsar) and Harley Gill (Nissan Stanza).
