High-octane action as Newcastle Oval Track hosts clubs from four provinces
The atmosphere was festive with a Father Christmas taking to the track at the interval much to the delight of the little ones.
The Newcastle Oval Track Raceway wrapped up a successful 2023 of high octane action by hosting clubs from Idube Motorsport Park (Camperdown), Randfontein Oval, Platinum Raceway (Rustenburg) and Kroonstad Raceway who were here to do battle with our local racers.
Around 35 drivers took to the track in various categories for a full evening of entertainment for the large crowd that came out to support the action.
The Newcastle Raceway was congratulated by the visitors for the outstanding condition of the track – many thanks to Hendrik van der Merwe (once again) for all your hard work in preparing the raceway.
