I saw that the Kyalami track day on Wednesday was cancelled.
Is that what you're talking of, or was there also something planned for Zwartkops?

I still want to do a track day at Kyalami someday, but it's sooo expensive for very little track time...

Was on my way back from Limpopo as this was happening!! Now I have to wait a whole month!!!

I was pretty sure it was next week.

Anyways best believe that I lost a milimeter or two during my stay in Limpopo over the weekend

Zwartkops has open practice every wednesday. The event that happened yesterday isnt even showing on the calender! Im so annoyed.

Theres VW club track day coming up at kyalami on the 5th of next month, but i have not driven around kyalami yet and im a bit nervous, Ripped around zwartkops many many times so i know that track very well already.

The entrance fee for the club day is like 750 for non members which is very steep.

I get invites to the Kyalami track days organised by SA Superbikes.
They also take cars, but it's mainly bikes, so car track time is limited and it costs R1200

I'm also a bit nervous about Kyalami but for me it's a bucket list item - one day...
A wise man once told me - on a racetrack it's 100% your choice how fast you go, and how much risk you choose to take.

I'm reasonably familiar with Zwartkops, but I mainly track on Midvaal, and I try to get there once a month.

BTW, I saw somewhere that Red Star Raceway is lightening up and starting to allow cars too.
Until recently, it was only bikes and Inex Legends.
Edit: Aha, found where I saw it...

[WesleyG]

red star looks awesome, but the site says only bikes, wonder when they plan to let cars on?

On the Zwartkops website they show the following:
http://www.zwartkops.co.za/

- Zwartkops open practise for Wendesday 24th Sept is cancelled.

- Kyalami Extreme Festival and National Braai day is happening on Wendesday 24th Sept 2014
