Hot Racing Warms Crowd at Chilly PEOTR

The chilly cold snap did little to dampen the enthusiasm at PE Oval Track Raceway on Saturday evening at round 5 of the Regional Championship that alternates between Victory Raceway and PEOTR as well as round 7 of the PEOTR Club Championship. With the DO4SA Nationals less than two months away the drivers and teams are working flat out to ensure that their cars are in tip-top condition. Young Malan Walters was the surprise package of the night in the Hot Rod class upstaging his mentor Jaco Aylward with a very mature drive to secure second place overall behind the legendary Piet Scheepers. Jason Brink edged out SA Champion Marthinus Muller in 1660 Modified Saloon class and Rimon Landman starred in the 2.1 Modified class beating the more fancied Malcolm Els and secured the much sought after Driver-of-the-Day award for his efforts.
