Port Elizabeth Oval Track Raceway will host the second round of their club championship on Saturday at their circuit along mission Road in the Greenbushes area. The classes that will be in action are the 1600 Saloons, Rookies, 2.1’s, Hot Rods, 1660 modified saloons, Heavy Metals and V8 American Saloons. This event will not be livestreamed as per usual, due to the ongoing problems experienced with load shedding that has caused havoc with the last couple of events around the country so with the weather forecast looking favourable for pleasant conditions, spectators are encouraged to bring along a portable braai stand and cooler box and take advantage of the free parking around the perimeter of the track to enjoy yet another action packed event. For those that are not keen on the braai option there are a host of food trucks and beverage stalls available to cater for all tastes. If you are not aware of the location of PEOTR, head out on Old Cape Road from town in the direction of Greenbushes, then turn right onto Mission Road just before the Greenbushes Hotel, then proceed along Mission Road until you see the racetrack on your left hand side.
At the time of going to the press entries were still coming in steadily and club secretary Kelly Dowling was confident that there would many drivers joining as the trend is to enter on the Friday before the event. Gates open to the public at 2pm with the first race of the evening scheduled to start at 6pm.
