With all the club and regional championships having been decided and prize giving concluded, Port Elizabeth Oval Track Racing (PEOTR) will end their season with a Holiday Fun Race on Saturday evening at their track along Mission Road.

Classes that will be taking part are Rookies, 1600 Saloons, 1660 Modifieds, 2.1 Modifieds, Hot-Rods, Heavy Metals and V8 American Saloons. 

There will be R10,000 prize money up for grabs in the 1660 Modified class and R3,000 in the Heavy Metal class thanks to BG Auto and Dasi Spares and R3,000 in the 1600 Saloons compliments of Triple L Plant Hire.

After having secured the Rookie class title, Reghardt Joubert will be stepping up into the 1600 Saloon class for the first time, joining rally drivers Deon Kretzmann and Eddie Banks in what is fast becoming a very competitive class. 

The biggest class on the night will be the popular Heavy Metal class for classic type stock cars with another rally driver in the form of Keith Coleman making an appearance as well as regular clerk of the course Andries Olwagen swopping his flags and rule book for a steering wheel. 

Spectators are in for an exciting evening with some fun initiatives being introduced on the night to spice things up.
