Race Results for Rock Mania held on 16th January
The grand stands was packed with racing hungry spectators! Thank you to all involved for the day it was a huge success with the combination Oval, Drags and Drifting.
The spectators also enjoyed seeing Brian Lay our friend from USA race with the Sprints and he also got a ride in a drift car that he enjoyed... Brian Lay drove car nr 11. Ultimate Sprints driver Robbie Herbst is the owner of nr 11 car. the rest of the team thanks Robbie for giving his car to Brian to race with us!
The first heat was won by Jacques Roos in car nr 46, Brian Lay in nr 11 came second and Liza van Zyl in nr 17 third. Second heat had lots of action with Andries in car nr 8 clipping the cone and it slid into the track, Pieter Brandt in car nr47 swerved and missed the cone and so did Brian. Liza and Adriaan van Zyl was side by side in the corner Adriaan had to avoid the cone and avoid a collision with Brian so he turned and unfortunately Liza was too close and she climbed over Adriaans wheels ! The race carried on and the 2nd heat race was won by Brian Layin car nr 11, in second place was Jacques Roos in nr 46 and in third Pieter Brandt in nr 47
Congratulations to the following Sprint drivers:
1st Place - Brian Lay nr 11
2nd Place - Jacques Roos
3rd Place - Pieter Brandt
Thank you for all the support!
Rock Mania Event
On behalf of Rock Raceway, we would like to thank The Ultimate Sprint Car members who made it to the Rock Mania event, for putting on a great Demo! Everyone sitting on the stands enjoyed the demo, I have had so many phone calls since Sunday from people commenting and complementing on how great it was to see the Sprints in action!
Great job guys, I was fortunate to see some Ozzie sprints in action on my holiday in Sydney, and I must say The Ultimate Sprints here in South Africa need not stand back for any international competition; you guys have what it takes to be the best in the world!
Keep it up, this year we will make oval racing shine in SA.
