Four of NSSCC’s faster Tarmac Rallysprint drivers teamed up yesterday for the NSW Round of the CAMS new ‘Car Club Challenge’, held at the Ringwood Hillclimb Circuit north of Newcastle representing NSSCC.
All teams were awarded points by how their members best times compared to the existing track record in each cars class, with our guys all in their Mitsubishi Evos. All four went under the old mark through the day a number of times and thus, NSSCC won the day.
Well done to Phil Heafey, David Finnimore, David Isaacs and Pete Howard on a great day. The winning club also won $2500, so a great day for NSSCC!!!

Join other rally rookies and legends in this year’s Khanacross event being held at the Sydney Dragway service area, Sunday, May 15 at 10AM – 5PM (drivers briefing at 9:45AM).
What is 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 course for each test is marked by the appropriate use of arrows and/or direction markers. Khanacross fits in between Motorkhanas and Rallysprints, introducing higher speeds, whilst not requiring high levels of vehicle modification. Junior competitors can compete from age 12. It is recommended that juniors should have built up some experience in Motorkhanas before attempting Khanacross. More information on the NSW Motorkhana series here – http://www.motorkhana.com
