Editorial comment.

Hectic... What can I say, here we are in August already and so much has happened. Folks we need contributions from members, this is not a one man show!

Some of our riders were involved in accidents the last few months, not all in the saddle of a bike/quad though. BMX bikes should be banned! Tyson we hope to see you back on the track later this year. Meiring is weer op die been en het weer begin oefen en ons will hom ook gelukwens met sy vordering met Carting, bly om te sien hy dat nie bang is om soms die grond aan te durf op vier wiele ook nie! Our Quad Squad also had a few mishaps and we hope the casualties all recover fully from their flips/rolls/wipeouts.

The Flat Track section has got off to a flying start with quite a number of new members as well as a string of pits being erected, or shall we say mansions? (Remember folks.... if the height exeeds 10m you have to have red lights fitted, otherwise our aviation neighbours down the drag will complain!)

Jokes aside it is great to see so many dirt enthusiasts enjoying the facilites these days.

We also want to ask for photographic contributions of past events for publishing on the website, digital photos can be e-mailed to the webmaster and photos can be loaned for scanning as well. We also hope you all like the new look headline banner on the website pages. The website has also received a Golden Web Award recently. RC
