The plan was. The next round of the Midas Historic Tour is on the 16th of August at the Phakisa Raceway in the Freestate. One day we do want to race there, however due to it being quite a distance we do not have the funding and we have dog children that have to be fed and given their creature comforts.

Our next race was planned for the 11th October at Zwartkops Raceway. Then ….

Zwartkops Raceway have this event, Extreme Festival. We have attended a few of these at Zwartkops and one at Kyalami. Chatting to Mark Du Toit, I always said the event is short a historic race ……

Extreme Festival

On Thursday I receive an e-mail with notification of an event “Golden Age of Motoring” at the Extreme Festival. Once again the mind races. Thursday evening, Friday morning decision made and entered!

It will be our first outing with our settings applied prior to Kyalami and I am looking forward to another second or so. After an enquiry about eligible cars, I spoke to Mel and the plan is to limit the age of the cars to 1972 or older. Very interesting! It is going to be like a lucky packet or if you want, like a blind date ……Promises to be fun!

Today had me fit our newly imported high pressure/high volume oil pump, new oil and oil filter. Only tyres swop, a chassis and body wash outstanding and Fossa is ready!

See you at Zwartkops Raceway, 9 August!
