It was another great day of grassroots motorsport at the Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park in Portland, with competitors enjoying perfect conditions and a fast-paced Khanacross program on June 18th.
Four challenging courses and eight runs kept drivers on their toes, with plenty of action across all classes. Adam Bromfield took top honours, finishing first outright, ahead of Stig Richards and junior driver Jarrod O’Hara.
The female class saw Emma Freestone drive her Ford Laser to the win, ahead of Melissa McInerney and Abby Bromfield. The junior class was won by Jarrod O’Hara in his well-prepared Holden ute, with Marley Richards second and Melissa McInerney taking third.
Class results included a 4WD victory for Adam Bromfield, followed by Melissa McInerney. In the 2WD over 2-litre category, it was Jarrod O’Hara who claimed the top spot, ahead of Callum Furner and James Davis. In the under 2-litre division, Stig Richards led the field, with Ben Wardle and Marley Richards rounding out the placings.
A big thank you goes to the dedicated volunteers and officials who made the event run smoothly, along with the club’s valued supporters: Wallerawang Community & Sports Club, Auto Parts Central, Lithgow City Council, Bunnings Lithgow, McDonald’s Lithgow and Geoff Wilson Mechanical Repairs.
The next Khanacross event will take place on Sunday, 27 July, following the WRX Club’s run the day prior.
The Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park, affiliated with Motorsport Australia, continues to develop as a facility for motorkhana and khanacross events. Driver training for young people aged 12 and over is set to begin soon, with rallycross and a hillclimb course also on the horizon.
The June event was another strong showcase of local motorsport talent and club spirit.
