The third and final round of the Bush Khanacross series for 2026, supported by the team at Wet-Seal Coffs Coast was completed last Sunday. The dry conditions with patchy rain fall preceding, and during the day, made for some challenging conditions with a forever changing surface.
A few competitors keep the recovery team busy whilst I suspect a few others were simply lucky, with more than one report of a car “making its own way” through the scrub next to the course!
As always we had a heap of cheerful volunteers who offer their services, time, trucks, 4WD and winches to ensure the day ran smoothly and safely. Spotlight on Adz who braved the rain, dust and reasonably constant heavy lifting to get those who had lost their way back on the track and able to continue.
The lead changed constantly throughout the day as the front runners matched each others times and strove to go one better. Fame favours the bold however, when the going got slippery, occasionally punished them aswell!
There is always a few interesting battles going on between classes or rivals within the overall. Its rewarding to see the comaraderie which spawns from such healthy competition.
Thanks to everyone who assisted, competed, ate sausages, cooked BBQ’s, did paperwork, re-did paperwork, braved online entry systems, repaired the track, setup, packed up, offered advice, offered their time/money/support and anything else I may have missed!
This series will return next year with a revised layout and an additional round. A presentation for both series will be announced shortly.
In the meantime we have two rounds of the Steve Arthur Electrical Khanacross Series 2026 yet to run:
