The third round of the Regional Dirt Oval Championship take place tomorrow evening at Victory Raceway on Victoria Drive and this event not only incorporates round five of their club championship but also sees a 2.1 Challenge that has attracted some of the top drivers from around the country. Local superstar Daniel Renison (pictured) has a narrow lead of just 4 points over Branden McPherson with young Rimon Landman a further 3 points adrift in the regional championship at present. They will have their work cut-out keeping the likes of  Henties de Villiers, Burger van de Westhuizen and Izaan Keller from Oudtshoorn Motor Club, Jackson Paul and Carlo van Zyl from Schoemanspark Speedway in Bloemfontein, defending 2.1 litre champion Christopher Burisch from George Motor Club as well as Mario Verwey and Tian Cloete from Westcoast Oval at bay.
