Was this your first meeting of the season there in South Africa? I thought that you'd start about the same time as us, here in Australia. We start in September. Or first weekend in October for those in the more "Southern Region's!!"
No, this was the first time in 6 months this team was able to race again after a promoter tried to stop them from racing and threatening legal action etc becausebof a club incident apparently. Was a mess. There are also four separate sprint groups because they dont race with each other because the drivers hate each other and lots of politics. Which is awful for an already struggling sport in the country. How do you guysbdonit in Oz? Do all yhe cars run together or different series?
@@bloodinbloodouttv I think that there's just the one organisation, has been since the early 1960s, I think it's still goes by the name of the "Modified Sprintcar Club of Australia", that's the federal body, and each of the six states and the two territories, have the one branch each. None of the State Branches, nor the Federal Body, is behoven to "a single Promotor or Group of promotors, which gives the Sport a real degree of freedom and flexibility, by which I mean that say, for example that the Victorian Branch wanted to book a Sprintcar event for two different tracks, which almost certainly means two different Promotors on the same night, as long as the tracks were a certain distance apart, no problems. It's not like one promoter, or a particular Sprintcar Drivers Club, could veto the appearance of a certain highly popular driver somewhere that he didn't want to race on that particular weekend. Besides, Australia's such a big Country, with a far smaller population than even your own, as well as that, 80-85% of the whole bloody population lives and/works within a 60 mile radius of the East Coast of Australia, so that kind of narrows down your geographical or promotional area quite significantly, and yet there's arguably the best Sprintcar Racing in the Country on the few Western Coast venues, with my pick for "Australia's Best Sprintcar Track", nowadays going to the Perth Motorplex, with a 520 meter long banked, dirt track, I think you're guys might just want to send a team over, or we could even send a team over there to you, eh? Well, whatever happens first, eh? Anyway enough from me, and give my regards to "Wild Willy" please? And have a good and safe Christmas, and a happy new year!! 🍺 AND KEEP ALL FOUR WHEELS ON THE TRACK!!
Will definitely send him your regards! Hope you had a great festive season. Is Perth Motorplex where you guys just raced against a few USA guys, Sweet etc? That was some amazing racing!!!
