May 2014 On - Road Race Report

By :  The Madman

Good Day All

The Madman is having a go at a Race Report, so here goes.

It was good to see some new faces and as usual at my age, the memory let me down with the names, still, it was good to see the odd old member put in an appearance.

The meeting was relatively small, but I put this down to the holidays and we hope to see you all back again.

Feedback :  On- Road race :  1st February 2014.

After listening to the radio and watching the TV’s weather reports on Saturday and hearing the forecasts of heavy rain, it was quite a pleasant surprise to wake up on Sunday and found only a little rain on the track. It wasn’t too difficult to get rid of the water before Henry could sugar the track. Thanks to all the sweepers!

We were happy to meet some new people and also to see some familiar faces from last year. Pleased to have met you, Gert Swart and glad to have you back, Lucas! By the way, Gert is a brilliant racer with 30 years’ experience…and it showed!

I am also glad to report that the atmosphere at the track was very pleasant again and it seemed that the drivers were very relaxed. The fun is back at Meyerton Raceway!!  Hooray!!

Our day started when Henry left the house 15 minutes before 6 in the morning to sugar the track. The sugar was already dissolved the previous evening and the sugar distributing devise was attached to the lawnmower, so it went quite fast. And I don’t think he was finished with the sugaring, when the first contestant arrived at the gate.
