Oval Track brings non-stop action –
At the Newcastle Oval Track race meeting on April 2, action took the driver’s seat. The monthly competition was open to all clubs and well-attended, with more than 30 entrants participating.
The overcast and somewhat gloomy weather earlier in the day did not deter motor enthusiasts from arriving in their numbers, to show support for their favourite drivers later that evening. Aside from the occasional light drizzle, the rain remained at bay for the duration of the races.
The club also wished a happy birthday to Fanie Mathysen (N48) who celebrated his big day on April 1, Wikie Bezuidenhout (N127) who celebrated his birthday on April 7, and club chairman, Shaukat Khan who turned 40 on April 8.
