Thornleigh Car Clubs "Khanacross"
SORRA's next event in the Club Championship is the "Thornleigh Car Clubs" Khanacross
SORRA's next event in the Club Championship is the "Thornleigh Car Clubs" Khanacross , which is being run at Colo Motorsport Park on September 9th.
And you are all invited to be a part of, as it is part of the SORRA point score for the end of year awards.
The Sup Regs and other info will be passed on to you shortly. It will all be available on the SORRA website https://www.sorra.com.au/
And on the Facebook page. Thornleigh CC use a lot of the tracks that you would normally use, but a few little changes to make it interesting. Somebody else doing all the organizing is another incentive to check.
They hold this event each year on the property and this year it was thought, that it would be a good addition to the SORRA Club calendar.
Also, just to keep you on your toes, Toyosports are holding their Day/ Night Autocross on the 16th September on the Dirt circuit, Georges Camp, southern end. Put that one in your race diary too.
Should be a great couple of events to have a play at, maybe,,"you" might be able to get one of the entries paid as a "fathers day" present!! ( Don't thank me yet. See how you go first. lol) What a bad thought.
The next Club meeting will be on the 5th September, at Sydney Motorsport Park. Suite 4 , above the pit garages.

RESULTS for Khanacross 7th September 2025
One of the founding members of our Club, Sydney Recreational Vehicle Association, now Sydney Off Road Racing Association, Neil Lennox, passed away yesterday, Sunday 17 th July. May he Rest in Peace. Funeral information to follow. Neil was enthusiastic about his newfound hobby of off road racing, the travel and the camping with the family. Trips to places and properties looking for tracks for our Club to play on. And then the racing. Neils first events were down at Wandandian, near Nowra on the south coast, Colo Motorsport Park, Garland Valley (Putty) and Bailyana. All Club racing. His first foray into any type of event was at Hattah , in the mallee country in the northwestern corner of Victoria, in a Volkswagen with almost standard suspension. Got beached a few times, long days racing and a tough introduction to the sport, but he was hooked. Neil and the family competed at most events in NSW after that, even claiming the Club Outright Champion Driver and Class 2 (1650 Class now) Champion Driver in 1981. Our thoughts are with the family at this time.
