The third round of the DO4SA Dirt Oval Regional Championship that alternates between Victory Raceway and PE Oval Track Raceway (PEOTR) took place in cool calm conditions at PEOTR on Saturday evening with a field of 80 competitors entertaining the large crowd of spectators.

Jonathan van Vuuren kept it neat and tidy with a consistent drive, managing to dodge two cars in the final that both lost wheels right in front of him to take a well deserved win in the Classic 6 class. Malcolm Els was the star of the show in the 2.1 Modified class and was the runaway winner leaving a four car fight for second place behind him.

In the highly competitive 1660 Modified Saloon class Jason Drake led from the start but was pressured all the way by Francois Engelbrecht. Unfortunately usual top contender Marthinus Muller withdrew during the final with mechanicl failure giving Drake a healthy boost in the regional championship standings. The 1600 Stock Saloon class saw Pieta de Lange lead from pole position in the final to take yet another convincing win in the evenly matched class as did Joshua Sletcher in the Heavy Metal class racing to a relativly easy win.

Piet Scheepers was back to his very best in the Hot Rod class with a comfortable win and in the V8 American Saloon class the ever-improving Rohan van Vuuren got the better of the fancied Allan Booysen from Bloemfontein as well as local star Juan Roesstorff resulting in van Vuuren winning the sought after driver of the day award.

The class results on the night were as follows –
