Afternoon All, the National Championship is coming to DMCC this weekend, track prep is happening literally as we speak and the drivers coming from the rest of the country will be practicing, tuning and fettling their chassis setup over the next two days.

Saturday will see the sprint qualifiers and Sunday the main event, with races of between 30 and 45 minutes dependent on class.

If you're free this weekend, the National even is always one to watch. For a sneak peak at what will do down, have a read of the link below...

So it’s the final week leading up to Round 3 of Natal Champs, and it brings with it a fresh request for entries, and an extension of the cutoff until tomorrow.

The reason is that the Richards Bay track has been put temporarily out of contention as a result of the recent rains, see pic attached. Whilst the track is not too badly affected by the sinkhole, it is now the alternate route for the lane that is affected.

So, those who were unable to travel for this round, please reconsider and lets see if we can get some numbers up.

Thanks & Seeyas Trackside

With the Gas National just around the corner there is a little bit of work to do at the track, many hands make light work. If you use the facility casually or seriously, regularly or occasionally, it is also your hands that we need!

3rd August - Election Day
Will be used to do mechanical and electrical maintenance, a lot has already been done by a small team so it’s really just to finish off, polish up and dry run the lighting/sound etc.

9th August - Womens Day
Will be painting day, so old clothes and shoes please. We will be concentrating mainly on the kerbs and lane markers so don’t stress too much!

The club runs on R400/year membership, think of that as R33 per month, or R1.09 a day, it’s really not much. Put your hands up if you have DSTV for example ;) Then there’s the R50 that it costs for a full day’s enjoyment of a great facility, paltry if you’ve been to the cinema or played a round of golf lately. That is simply not enough to get the job done by outsiders, so it’s up to us, we literally need all hands on deck guys..

The photos attached are from the last work party, amazing what can be done if we work together!

Thanks & Seeyas Trackside

This Saturday sees the start of the much anticipated Radio Replica Racing series, the R Cubed Challenge. 4 Classes based on existing race chassis, with a social and spectator inclined twist and harking to real life racing, only one chance to qualify, and one shot at the final! Hit up the link to see what the classes are about..

Round One up at Camerdown Raceway..
