Thunderbikes and Brunch Run results for 8 December 2024
Some 73 years ago, within a stone’s throw of the original Zwartkops, Iscor Township Circuit promoted a motorcycle racing event. The Pretoria Motorcycle Club, which had a membership of over 100 riders in 1939, one being Number 22, Willie Grobler, organised this event.
He never stopped racing until the day he passed on at the age of 80.
He was one of the earliest ZOC Members.
Our Willie Grobler – No 22 Velocette.
How many names do you recognise on the 250 c.c-entry list?
Many are the grandfathers to contemporary racers. They will have a history!
