A khanacross is basically a short-course rally without trip notes. The basic concept is that you drive through the bush for about 3 minutes, while attempting to spot little red arrows which tell you that you have just missed the last turn. To make this a little more exciting, the tracks carved out of the bush are usually wicked and can even be a little frightening in some places. The Southern club magazine often describes the course by saying: “drivers will find the hills, hollows, trees, rocks, dirt, trees, cliffs, trees, gullies, rocks, mud, narrow tracks, trees, jumps, ruts and trees a real challenge.” This description is pretty well on-the-money, although it still doesn’t really give you a true appreciation for how many hills, hollows, trees, rocks, dirt, trees, cliffs, trees, gullies, rocks, mud, narrow tracks, trees, jumps, ruts and trees, there actually is. Nor does it tell you that the hills, hollows, trees, rocks, dirt, trees, cliffs, trees, gullies, rocks, mud, narrow tracks, trees, jumps, ruts and trees, are always in the wrong place and about half a centimetre from you. If you are not a seasoned rally driver before entering a khanacross, you are one at the end of the day. These are obviously not events for the feint of heart, nor are they an event you can use the family car for. Many club members have "khana specials" which they have purchased for next to nothing and maintain on a shoestring budget for events such as this. |
