I heard Wesley’s beast would be out in the daylight after having its rear suspension and monster rear wheels fitted so I stopped in at Pro-Fit exhaust to snap a few pics and ended up spending most of the morning hanging, chatting & snapping…ENJOY…

Today saw Killarney hosting a combined Street2Strip and MSA drag practice event to christen then newly laid tar at Killarney. With the MSA guys allowed to run faster than the 13 second Street2Strip limit we did see at least two cars being sent home by the time I left, a Subaru that ran a 12.9 and a turbo charged BMW running a 12.8. A 3rd, a new BMW M5, sandbagged after running a 13.1 to prevent being given his marching orders. With a scheduled 10 hours of racing and great weather, if a little hot, plenty of racing and fun was had by all… on to the coverage…

Saturday saw West Coast Racing host another round of the Saldanha 800m top end runs with Zain Ryland returning to defend his crown. With a number of Skyline GTR’s and a track speck Porsche in attendance it looked like there where cars up for the challenge. The ‘surprising’ early contender to the thrown was the Executive Towing BMW that managed to match Zain’s previous record of 256km/h. With Zain having put up a speed in the 240km/h region earlier in the day it look like we would possibly have a new champion, that was until Zain lined up against the green monster – Suspect-WP. Spurred on by the beast lining up next to him Zain pushed his twin turbo Sierra XR8 to a speed of 265.4km/h. Congratulations to Zain as well as the organisers for an awesome event, till next time…

As most of you will know, Wes sold his green monster (pictured below)
but don’t worry, he’s in the process of building another monster… and I’m sure it’s going to be awesome.
Sunday saw Killarney playing host to the SA Hot Rod festival, and although there where a number of beautiful cars on display the real action was taking place on track. With amongst other things monster wheelies by Dave Rowley in his turbo charged Flat Four Racing Beach Buggy and Alvin Chetty doing huge burnouts in his Ford Mustang. The highlight of the day has to go to Tolla Daniels who, after breaking and replacing a gearbox, piloted his four cylinder turbo charge Ford Escort to a 9.925s pass, only to break another gearbox on the very next run 😯

After a relatively slow start to the afternoon’s proceedings the competitors started rolling in, unfortunately so did the rain clouds. With just over two and a half hours racing completed the rain came down bringing a premature end to proceedings. The weather had however held off long enough for Bradley van Rooi to pilot the Pro-Fit Golf to a new personal best of an 11.5s ¼ mile. With sub 13s cars not usually allowed to run at S2S, Pro-Fit ran a few demo runs… now just to repeat it and put up an official time… congrats Brad. Anyway… on to the pics…

I only stopped in for an hour at last month’s practice event so there aren’t many photos and none from the street2strip portion of the event 😳
Sunday saw excellent runs from Sharief Reynolds on his GSXR (8.94s), Bradley Van Rooi in his Pro Fit Golf (11.67s) and Alvin Chetty in his ford Mustang (10.84s). I have to also mention Brendan Moore who, along with his father, spent the whole of Saturday assembling his beach buggy after a gearbox failure at the last event and then taking the Club Senior Eliminator, 3rd in Club Super Eliminator and winning class D… congrats guys
