Making a welcome return to the oval after an extended lay-off will be PEOTR club chairman Wayne Holland in the American Saloon class where he will be up against the likes of Juan Roesstorff, Ruzanne Jansen, Rohan van Vuuren and JP Coetzee. The hugely popular and competitive 1660 modified 4-cylinder class will no doubt be the highlight of the evening with a star-studded line-up of drivers having entered already led by a talented group of lady drivers in Charne Schuin, Melindre Marais, Nadia Rautenbach and Chanell van Tonder. Jason Drake, Jason Brink, Kenzo Barnard, Colin Whitely, Percy Noah, Ruhan Terblanche, Roux le Roux, Lorenzo Mcleod and Andrew Meiring are just a few of the contenders that will do battle in this very closely contested class.

Deon Kretzmann will be hoping for a change of fortunes in the 1600 stock saloons after having one hand on the trophy in round 1, only to be forced to retire with a puncture while leading the final, this after driving over a silencer box that had fallen off another car.

Daniel Renison will be the man to catch after dominating the class in the last two club outings, but add Kelly Dowling, Edwin Drake, young Reghardt Joubert, Keegan Ellard and Donavan Lee into the mix and it will certainly be an entertaining class to follow.

Gates open to spectators at 12:30pm with free trackside parking available. Racing is scheduled to start at 6pm and tickets are R60 for adults, R40 for pensioners and R30 for children u/12 years old.
