1/10th Off Road in South Africa

RogerM · #1 30-04-2008

Looking at going to the worlds in SA ...... the track used last time is about 35 mins drive from my girlfriend's father's stables / ranch. Would make accomodation cheap!

Pretoria is my home town so I might go back for the worlds too

Almost sounds like an offer there Rog!

I think if we can afford it, I'd like to go - race or just report. But, it would be nice to race for a change.

I`d be up for that Jimmy!!

Good morning gents,
Yes, the Worlds will be held in Pretoria, the event will be held at TRAP on a purpose built track, check out www.trap.co.za, the track is still under construction, but we race 1/8th off road and all the on road classes there.
The 1/5th on road worlds will also be held there a week before the Off road.

Hey Elvis,

I use to race with a chap called Pieter Janse Van Vuuren from Pietersburg... I believe he still races. Do you know perhaps how he has done?

Pretoria used to be my home town (city) too. My mom still lives there, so accomodation would be nothing for me too.....that is if she'll let me stay there again - lol
