Gerotek High Speed Oval – 22 August 2010
BMW Car Club Gauteng vs. Opel Owners Club SA Challenge
EVENT RERUN:
Due to the issues we had with the Gerotek Timing equipment last time out we will be rerunning the Gerotek High Speed Oval Challenge at a much reduced rate. You had better register early to avoid disappointment – See you there!
Overview:
Use this chance to legally test the maximum velocity of your performance vehicle in the safety of the oval track. Participants will be allowed one at a time on the banked circuit to go as fast as they like for one flying lap. Multiple Runs throughout the day.
The Challenge:
This is a BMW Car Club Gauteng versus Opel Owners Club SA Challenge.
Similar cars will be grouped in relevant classes for individual prizes.
Top Speeds in certain classes will be aggregated to determine the winning club of the day.
All other makes of cars are welcome on the day but only BMWs and Opels will be entered into the Club vs. Club challenge.
