Drags - where whoever crosses the finish line first, doesn’t
necessarily win! This race is all about speed. It’s
about laying down as much rubber off the start line just
to cross the finish line with a higher top speed. Now
some of you who are new to this will not understand that.
Even though it’s still a race, there’s so
much more to factor in. This isn’t quarter mile
racing, no, that’s a race against the clock, this,
was a #rideforglory!

With
a kaleidoscope of motorsport attractions on offer, Saturday’s
final main circuit meeting of the year at Killarney includes
exciting national participation and seems set to bring
the seasonal curtain down in style. Topping the bill,
the opening round of the new All-Africa Endurance Series
is going to be supported by the final leg of the Power
Series sponsored by Wingfield Motors. In addition, in
a buildup to an attempt on the African truck pulling record,
local muscle man Ben Visagie is ready to attempt to drag

KING
OF SLAM

Some
time ago I wrote
about the latest wave to sweep across parking lots
around the world. It’s something that’s been
around since the inception of the car but of late been
revived to unbelievable “heights”. Now
truth be told this is still not my cup of java but after
the very well put together KING OF SLAM event I can definitely
see the appeal. [more] |

POWER
SERIES REGIONAL RACING

Location: Killarney Raceway, Cape Town.
|
The
Wingfield Motors Power Series regional racing is one of
the best events to attend and watch as a spectator and
I was going to be taking pics like anyone else would,
behind the fence. If you’re an accredited Motorsport
South Africa photographer you can get real close to the
cars on track, but today, I didn’t feel like walking.

DUNLOP
TRACK DAY + VIDEO
Event

Location:Killarney Raceway, Cape Town.
|
After
seeing some teaser pics on social media many people asked
me what happened at Killarney on this day. Well it was
the Dunlop Track Day, which was a private event meant
for special Dunlop customers who were to be treated by
being taken around Killarney in either a supercar of some
sort or a drift machine. I
didn’t actually go to the supercar side which was
along the back straight of Killarney, instead I decided
to camp out at the oval by the drift...

TOYOTA
FEST 2014

Serepta Sports Field, Kuilsriver, Cape Town.
|
A
few months back we were invited to attend the first ever
Toyota Fest in Cape Town. Looking at the date however,
it was going to take a bit of shuffling to be able to
attend due to a few other big events happening on the
same day. But being big Toyota fans ourselves, and owning
our mascot, Polizia, which we’ve put into retirement,
we decided to remove the covers, blow out all the dust
from our Toy and attend what would potentially be a world
record event.

SEMA

Liberty
Walk: Two words I heard many times before. I had seen
the pictures of various Liberty Walk cars in the year
preceding SEMA ... It really is an old cliché,
but nothing can prepare you for the sheer insanity and
detail of a Liberty Walk equipped car live and in person.
Liberty
Walk has been around since 1993 believe it or not. From
Beemers to GT-R's to Lamborghinis and Ferrari's. These
guys have really taken it to the next level. [more] |

The
oxford dictionary defines a celebrity as “a Famous
person, especially in entertainment or sport” …
or in the Automotive Industry. Ok, so I added the last
bit. The craze of Reality TV Shows has definitely broadened
the scope of what defines a celebrity. Almost like a cross
between a well known individual and an entertainer. These
are some of the celebrities we met at SEMA 2013.[more] |
