April is generally a busy month for competitors and fans alike as most forms of motorsport are into the full swing of things in their various championships. Leading the bill this coming weekend is round two of the Regional Dirt Oval Championship that takes place at Victory Raceway on Saturday evening, where a large number of entries are set to keep the appreciative crowds entertained on what promises to be an action packed event. The classes that will be taking part are the 1600 Stock Saloons, 1660 Modified Saloons, 2.1 Modified Saloons, Hot Rods, Heavy Metals and the crowd pleasing V8 American Saloons.

Juan Roesstorff (SA3) is the early leader in the American Saloons and he would no doubt be hoping that his brilliant run of consistent performances will continue going into round two of the championship and will be under immense pressure from Rohan van Vuuren as he gets to grips with his newly acquired car. In what should be the biggest and most competitive class of the evening Marthinus Muller will be the man to beat in the 1660 Modified Saloons after a dominant opening round, with stiff opposition coming from the likes of Nadia Rautenbach, Kenzo Barnard, Chane’ Schuin, Chanell van Tonder, Jaco Pitout and Jason Drake.

The 1600 stock Saloon class continues to grow from strength to strength and championship leader Reghardt Joubert will have his hands full with Deon Kretzmann returning after having missed the opening round. Stephan La Cante, Dean Upman, Pieta de Lange and class debutants Tyde Geddes and Chante’ Elford will all be in the mix, adding to the close racing that is seen in the 1600 class. 

Lady driver Annuschke Landman is the early leader in the Hot Rod class but will have the incredibly quick Kiaan Aylward, along with Dawid Grundlingh, Shaun Gough, Reghardt Joubert, Bianca Westraadt and Shaun & Gene Gough all chasing her down with East London driver Candice Strydom making her debut in the Regional Championship.

The racing action at Victory Raceway is set to start at 6pm with the gates opening for spectators at 1pm and there is ample trackside parking available.

Victoria Drive is the hub of the racing action as Algoa Kart Club that is situated in close proximity to Victory Raceway have their third round of their Regional/Club championship taking place with on-track action from 8am – 5pm and just next door to them Rover Motorcycle Club are hosting a fun Motocross & Supercross day with the action set to start at 9:30am.
