With the high volume Indy Oil Clubmen and CAR Magazine Classic cars not having competed at the most recent meeting, they should be well prepared and all ready for action.

A wet track at the last meeting they competed in, proved to the advantage of Classic Car drivers like Jannie Mattysen (VW Scirocco) and veteran former national champion Peter Gough, in his little Ford Escort.

Mattysen won the first race ahead of Gough, but had to retire early in the final event. Gough took over and eventually finished with a first and a second place to his credit.

A dry surface on Saturday will make it easier for big guns like Fred Philips to use the power of his V8 engined Chev CanAm, while Hermann Scholtz could also prove a threat in his Porsche 911.

It’s going to be (mainly), BMW against VW in the Indy Oil events. Roshan Khan (Cool Touch BMW 325) has to start as favourite, with the Volksies of Gary Fourie, Kosie Weyers, Clint Rennard and Steve Griffin Wintle, out to upset him.

Hopefully someone will be able to do something about Wally Dolinschek in his big Mustang V8 at the head of the NA Carrera Sports, GT and Touring Car field.

Although Wally ran away from the opposition at the last meeting, the return of Dawie Joubert, either in his Ariel Atom or his equally quick Lotus Exige could change that.

Niel Hawkins, Richard Schreuder and Jesse Huggett are expected to make the running in the Makita Power Tools Supercar races, with Hawkins possibly fractionally quicker than the other two.

Paul Simon made the running in the CSS Formula Libre single seater events at the last meeting. It will be interesting to see whether he can repeat the process on Saturday.

Two-wheel enthusiasts will be well catered for.

Gates open at 07:30, with the first race due at 09:00. Admission is R40 for adults and R10 for scholars under 16. Kids under 12 free.
