Atom Sprints is a grassroots-level tarmac motorsport series that combines two popular racing formats: Khanacross and Sprint. It’s held on closed, specially designed tarmac circuits where participants race against the clock in a time-trial format. The series is organized by Motorsports Service Solutions (Kevin Raedel) and Hillclimb SA Inc, both known for hosting engaging, well-run motorsport events. Khanacross involves navigating tight, technical courses with sharp turns, emphasizing precision driving and car control. Sprint is more about speed, where drivers aim to post the fastest times around a circuit. Atom Sprints combines these elements, allowing participants to experience both the agility needed for Khanacross and the adrenaline of Sprint racing. Why Should You Participate?

What a weekend of fun-filled action and excitement! The weather was kind to us for the most part, with only a little rain arriving on Sunday afternoon — otherwise it was perfect racing weather throughout the weekend.
For me personally, it was a weekend filled with mixed emotions as we remembered fellow competitor Garry Dodd. Garry competed in the OzGymkhana series back in the day and more recently became part of the Atom Sprints family. We all felt privileged to have known Garry, All of the competitors carried a small token with them around the track over the weekend in honour of him.
We had excellent numbers across the two days, including 10 ladies competing and 6 juniors, with 3 of those being novice juniors taking part in their very first event as drivers. We are incredibly proud of all of our junior and novice junior competitors, who showed huge improvement and confidence across the weekend.
The atmosphere across the event was fantastic, with plenty of smiles, great competition, and strong sportsmanship shown by everyone involved. Thank you to all competitors, officials, volunteers, crew members, and supporters who helped make the weekend such a success. Here are a few photos from the weekend. Next Atom Sprint round is a wild card round to be held in Broken Hill on Saturday July 11th, this will also be one of the rounds for the SA Khanacross Championship hope to see you there. Thanks also to our Sponsors SupaService Tyre & Auto, Autosport, DA Racing Driver Development, Miniac Performance, Adelaide Track Tyres .
