Big field for our June Khanacross!
A week after our trip south to the MRF Tyres Boddington Rally, we were back at our venue running a Khanacross. With the winter rain arriving, puddles lay here and there around our venue.

Ventkhana 2016 – Epic Scout Motorsport!

Khanacross 12th of April
Originally scheduled as a Twilight Khanacross in mid march, heavy rains in the 24 hours leading up to the event forced us to postpone until April.
