Victory Raceway will play host to the seventh round of their eleven round club championship on Saturday night and spectators are once again in for an action packed evening. The classes that will be in action are the V8 American Saloons, 1600 Saloons, 2.1 Modifieds, Hot Rods, Heavy Metals, Junior Hot Rods and 1660 Modifieds. The multi-crowned dirt oval champion Pieta Victor enjoys a comfortable lead in the American Saloon class over Juan Roesstorff in second with the ever-improving Ruzanne Jansen in third place.

The 1600 saloons is a closer affair with Daniel Renison on 451 points, just ahead of Keegan Ellard on 435 points in second and Deon Kretzmann on 333 points in third. Kretzmann will no doubt be hoping to continue his fine run of form after finishing fifth overall in the National Rally championship that was held in the Longmore Forest last weekend.

The 1660 Modified Saloon class that comprises of 21 competitors thus far in the championship sees the SA Champion Marthinus Muller as clear favourite as he enjoys a healthy 94 point lead over second placed Pieter le Roux who has 386 points and Chanell van Tonder in third with 336 points.  

Jaco Pitout has a relatively comfortable lead over Andries Olwagen in the Heavy Metal class with the SA2 car of Pierre van der Berg in third. Van der Berg is clearly on the come-back trail after missing two rounds of the championship and will start the weekend as the clear favourite. East London driver Aubrey Goddard will join the club championship for the first time this season.

In the Hot Rod class Tiaan Oliphant has been dominant and will be a difficult man to catch with a 124 point lead over Marilie Britz in second with Carel van Huysteen in third place. Van Huysteen unfortunately will be out of action for a while after having had surgery on his leg after hitting the wall during the last Regional round at PE Oval Track Raceway at the end of last month.

The second biggest class is the 2.1 Modifieds that is certainly becoming very competitive with eighteen drivers in the championship that sees Rimon Landman with a mere 46 point lead over Damon Miles with Daniel Renison a further 113 points adrift. Malcolm Els should be the man to watch as he continues to impress in his new car, and after missing the first four rounds, continues to climb up the championship table. 

A host of drivers from George & Oudtshoorn will use this event as an opportunity to gain some valuable track time at Victory in preparation for the DO4SA Nationals that take place on the weekend of 20/21 September. Malan Walters, Novello Coetzee, Sydney van Rensburg & Morne Pelser join the Hot Rods, while Henties de Villiers joins the the 1660 melee, Ruben Snyman the 2.1 Modifieds, Coenie Meyer in the American Saloons and young JP du Plessis the Junior Hot Rods where he will be pitting his skills against local young stars Quade de Lange & Tyde Geddes.

Gates to the public open at 13h00 and the racing action is set to get underway at 17h00 with tickets prices set at R60 for adults and R20 for children under 12 years of age and trackside parking available a R50 per vehicle.
