SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL DIRT CHAMPIONSHIP THIS WEEKEND AT TYGERBERG RACEWAY!!

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.

TULSA, OK | Nov. 26, 2013 - Amid rumors of a possible split between the Warrior Region as the Tulsa, Okla. based American Sprint Car Series, the Missouri arm of the ASCS Nation will remain for the 2014 season.

Talking with Larry about the coming season, the longtime Warrior Region official envisions growing the series both in terms of races, and corporate support, “What I really want to see happen is to begin developing more partnerships with Missouri based companies to help support Sprint Car racing and the drivers and at the same time, bring them into the racing fold. Missouri has always been kind of a hotbed for open wheel racing, and I don’t want to see that diminishing.”
