Kraaifontein, SA | Nov. 29, 2013 - Tygerberg Raceway will be hosting the DO4SA National Event on Nov. 30th, where-after the South African Champion will be crowned. Ratified by MSA, SASCOC and the Dept Sport & Recreatio, this will be the ONLY recognized SA Championship in the country for Dirt Oval Track Racing in 2013. Any other competitor claiming to be the South African Champion (or SA1) will, therefore, be a fraud (like a false license plate on a road-car which is not registered on the E-Natis system). To be a South African Champion (SA1), your result needs to be registered with the relevant authorities, which will be the case following this prestigious DO4SA event.
Last weekend in the Late Model division, “SIR“ Chris Liebenberg showed everyone why he deserves that national title as he once again was in devastating form and nobody could get remotely close to him. Only Otto Graven and Thys Valentyn managed to hang in there.
