The Pink Rod class for women will be the featured class as it Women’s Month.
Annuschke Landman (527 points) enjoys a slender lead over Bianca Westraadt (512) in second and young Nadia Rautenbach in third.
Making her debut in the 10-car championship is Bianca Grobler and it will be interesting to see how she fares against the other super-competitive women.
Evergreen Pieta Victor already has one hand firmly on the V8 American Saloon Club Championship title, with his dominant points haul sitting on 521.
Vincent Venter finds himself in a somewhat distant second on 391 points and young Joubertina speedster HJ Eksteen is third on 359 points.
The 2.1 Modified class enjoys a relatively tight chase up front by young Rimon Landman (446), Daniel Renison (409) and Gerritt Olivier (343).
Proving once again that consistency counts in building a championship chase is Kelly Dowling (424) in the Hot Rod class, where she enjoys a healthy lead over Johan Schoeman (352) and right behind him Emile Bothma (345).
The closest of the title fights is in the super-competitive Heavy Metal class, with Pierre van der Berg (450) only three points ahead of Elton Gilmer (447) and Regional Championship leader Ruzanne Jansen (424) still very much in the chase in third place.
