1st Outright at MSCT Powrana Khanacross

The Excel takes it second outright victory yesterday at Powrana Khanacross track. It was a very competitive field of 20 entries with some highly modified machinery. I managed to keep it clean except for 1 +10 second penalty for finishing outside of the finish area. But managed to win 2 of the 5 stages keeping me in first. Aaron also entered and finished 3rd outright with a slowest plus 5 second penalty for going in the wrong direction but manged to keep the rest of the runs clean also wining 2 stages out of 5 to put him in 3rd outright.

Build Update

Getting the car ready for the next khanacross this one will be out at Powrana. It is held with the motorsport car club tas. In preperation for the khana I have got stuck into converting the standard suspension system to run with DMS rally suspension. This suspension had added travel, adjustability in height, bump and rebound, it is also better suited to rough surfaces.

Also I have a picture of the updated cockpit, it is still waiting to receive cage, nav seat, terratrip and terraphone.

Could be a posibility of runing a track day soon... as I want to see how the car performs on the sticky stuff. If i have enough funds I will enter the mcct track event after the khanacross at powrana, or just go for a private practice one day, keep you posted.

1st Outright at MGCT Kellyfield Khanacross

Today at Kellyfield Aaron and myself entered the Khanacross event. I managed to get first outright, which i was pretty happy about. It shows the potential of these little cars in standard trim. The field consisted of about 18 competitors. It was a good day, the track was nice and tight.

The night before the event we fitted a bose kit and a sparco steering wheel, couple of fire extinguishers and did some trim removal.
