6^th July – Classic Top of the Hill

As mentioned on various occasions we are launching our first Classic Top of the Hill Challenge on the 6^th of July at Zwartkops Raceway. We are planning this to be an annual event as an exclusive Classic (Historic) day.

Time Trials (essentially hill climbs) is emerging a s a racing category in South Africa. There are other venues being panned. The Zwartkops structure and layout enables us to allow 2 -3 runs per session on a semi-continues bass. How this is done will be explained on the day.

In this respect we are unique, however the number of entries will be limited to 100 cars on a single day. Thus, we run practice days to orientate ourselves to the concept of a continues spectacle for competitors and the public. We will only be having four events a year.

One of them will focus particularly on Classic (Historic). The Top of the Hill pinnacle will be a three day National/ International event every year October/November. One of the prime objectives of establishing the facility s to not only create new entrants, but also to rejuvenate interest of many of our Historic competitors who

1. no longer want to participate in a mas field
2. want to be on their own,
3. dust off their historic racers which will not be subject to as much risk, and
4. MSA dispensations which will make racing less

Please see the below and we ask that you motivate your members to participate. We need to make this type of event as practical and affordable as possible.
