RUSTENBURG HERALD - ORKNEY - The first round of the battle of the clubs was completed with resounding success at the Vaal River Boating Club on Sunday, 19 May.
The event started with the 60km mini long haul, that was run up and down the river in an exciting race. Jono Schmidt (M35) who showed some incredible high speeds, unfortunately had to pull out of the race because of a cracked block. This caused a damper on the event, as everybody was waiting to see the long-awaited challenge between him and the current world champion, Klerksdorp adrenaline, junkie Renier le Roux.
First win for Michael van Rooyen SATC division
RUSTENBURG HERALD - ZWARTKOPS - Warm autumn skies greeted spectators and competitors alike on Saturday, 18 May, when the National Extreme Festival made its way to Zwartkops Raceway for the third round of the 2024 season.
For Rustenburg's Pocket Rocket - Michael van Rooyen - the day ended as a memorable one, since it's been quite some time since Van Rooyen found himself up on the winners podium. Robert Wolk (Chemical Logistics BMW 128ti) had no sooner led the South African Touring Cars field away from pole position when the safety car was deployed to allow the marshals to recover Roberto Franco’s Graphix Supply World Polo SupaCup from the gravel trap on the exit of the first turn.

Hoewel Veané maar net oor die vyf voet in haar sokkies staan, neem sy reeds sedert Februarie vanjaar in die O/18-afdeling van die African Strongmen Union se kompetisies deel en hier vaar sy buitengewoon goed.
