Vroom, vroom… Lowvelders, we’re off to the races

With only one oval meeting still to come before shutdown for 2018, the meeting was held on November 17.

High five to the organisers though – the track was absolutely beautifully prepared – the best ever in 12 years if you ask me.

The heat on the day however, required regular rounds of the water truck and this really slowed things down. And then, competitors just seemed not to be in a hurry to get to the start line.

Hope they find their mojo before the next race, though. The 1660s proved to be the most exciting class on the day, with cars drifting through the corners three abreast and some close barrier crashes.

Chris de Lange made everyone’s day somewhat blue by being crowned the 1660 king on the day. But then, can he sustain the winning streak?

Hanneke Britz has outgrown the size of her go-kart, so grandpa Hennie simply extended the go-kart’s chassis.

At the pace she is growing though, I think a real oval car is inevitable. So guess who’s scanning the classifieds?
