A very well prepared dirt oval track surface led to an evening of exciting racing action at Victory Raceway on Saturday night where a large crowd gathered to cheer on their favourite drivers at round three of the local club championship.
SA Champion Marthinus Muller proved yet again why he has the number 1 sticker on his car as he romped home to a relatively easy win in the finals of the highly competitive 1660 modified saloon class.
Another equally dominant drive from Daniel Renison saw him winning the 1600 Saloon class comfortably over what is becoming a highly competitive field of emerging drivers.
A masterful performance in the Heavy Metal class for classic type stock-cars by Danie de Vos bringing his very well prepared BMW home ahead of a star-studded group of very quick drivers.
Juan Roesstorff finally got the better of home favourite Pieta Victor in the V8 American Saloon class taking three out three heat wins as well as the final. Victor who has stripped his regular car in preparation for the National that will be held at Victory Raceway on the 20th & 21st September, was competing in his spare car, and try as he might, just couldn’t catch the hard-charging Roesstorff.

Michael Sinclair ensured that his trip up the coast from George was a successful one as he enjoyed an evening of close racing in the 2.1 Modified class before claiming a relatively comfortable win against the fancied pairing of Daniel Renison and Rimon Landman in the final.
Tiaan Oliphant was the standout performer in the Hot Rod class with his very well prepared car, that saw him romp home to victory in the final after being hard-pushed by Dawid Grundlingh in the heats.
An impressive drive in the 1660 class by Ruhan Terblanche saw him clinch second place over-all behind Marthinus Muller and being elected by the race officials as the driver-of-the-day.
