Pro-Tech Team dominate at Victory Raceway

Following the recent heavy rains experienced in the Nelson Mandela Bay area recently it was bound to be a muddy affair at Victory Raceway for the sixth round of their club championship last Saturday. Making the most of the slippery conditions and putting on an incredible display of consistency and race craft, was the Pro-Tech/CES Eastern Cape team of Jaco Aylward and Malan Walters who finished first & second in the Hot Rod class, and Kiaan Aylward who was third in the 2.1 Modified class.

For rookie George visitor Malan Walters, it was only his third race ever and also the first time out in his new car, where he put in a storming drive to come from near the back of the grid in the final to secure a very well deserved second place overall. Jaco Aylward was back to his best, winning all three heats including the final, with this performance securing him the sought after “Driver-of-the Day” award.

In the American Saloon class it was a bruising affair with the powerful cars slipping and sliding their way through the heats keeping the large crowd thoroughly entertained with more than one racing incident taking place along the way, but in the end it was Pieta Victor that continued his fine form this season taking overall honours and extending his large lead in the club championship.  

Marthinus Muller proved yet again why he has the SA1 number on the side of his 1660 Modified Saloon car by winning the competitive class relatively comfortably with a lights to flag victory, while visiting South Western Districts driver JP du Plessis was the runaway winner of the Junior Hot Rod class.
