🏁 ROUND 4 KHANACROSS WRAP-UP 🏁

What a great day of racing at Round 4 of the New England Sporting Car Club Khanacross Series!

After seven runs of pushing hard, learning the course, and chasing every tenth, I was excited to finish:

🥇 Jackson Halloran – 1st Outright
🥈 James Clark – 2nd Outright
🥉 David Opie – 3rd Outright

A huge thank you to the organisers, volunteers, officials, and competitors who make these events possible. The competition was close, the atmosphere was great, and it's always awesome to spend a day with fellow motorsport enthusiasts.
