Chairman’s Chatter
Well after last weekend, we have three
new champions and
eagerly await the results of the final round
of the other two categories. Mike Altona was
confirmed as the Sports
& GT Champion in
September while Jannie van Rooyen managed to win on Saturday to claim the Touring
Car Championship and
Wayne Odendaal won
the Modified Saloon
Championship. To all of
you, well done. On Saturday it was very interesting to talk to all the
guys who were in line
to win the Championship as there was a lot
of nervousness related
to the two races that
were to be run.
Our prize giving is in
November so please
speak to Tracy to get
tickets as we need to
have as many members and friends as
possible attend the
event.
With the club’s website
currently getting over
90000 page hits per
month, it certainly is
one of our treasures
and needs to be promoted as much as possible. Tracy has stickers
www.historicracing.co.z
a for your race and/or
road car. Please use
them and promote the
club.
The Technical Rules for
2009 have now been
published for about a
month and although
there have been a couple of objections, by
and large the support
for the changes has
been positive. The Historic Commission is
currently working on the
rules for 2010 which
hopefully will be completed by the end of the
year.
The Nine Hour is coming up in November so
get your cars ready for
the day. The programme, I believe, caters for everyone so the
day promises to be a
great success.
The racing calendar for
2009 is in the final
throes of manipulation
and should be available
shortly. As soon as it is
available, it will be
posted on the website
for your perusal. Next
year sees all the categories racing together
most times but it is not
possible to achieve that
every time. The spread
of races is good and
most of the away races
are early in the year.
Alan Kernick, the Northern Regions Racing
sub committee Chairman, has worked very
hard to please everyone and has produced
a good compromise for
all stakeholders. Well
done Alan and please
keep up the good work.
One of the club’s
strength is the fact that
we all enjoy Historic
Racing but we don’t
seem to arrange or organise social events.
What are your feelings
on this? If you have any
ideas please let me
know and we will see
what can be done.
Until next month, enjoy
the marvelous weather
we are having but
please let’s have a little
rain, only a little, not like
Cape Town.

Unbiased, personally opiniated text, etc

As luck would have it, at
a time when one needs something or some-one badly it
never materializes. I organized
myself a “ground engineer” for
the week-end before the race
as I needed to put down some
top soil and put down a cement piece under my carport. I
had actually made a shortlist
of what needed to be done.
Murphy’s Law dictated that
said person never pitched. By
0930 I had 5 cube meters off
topsoil on my inner front lawn
and only myself and a wheel
barrow and spade.
Deciding that I needed the
exercise anyway, I opted to
work at a pace comfortable to
myself and duly spread the
whole lot over my yard and
pavement. My neighbour Luis
has a family friend that I know
quite well and I think he must
have seen this oke struggling
out on the pavement, bent
over the barrow and raking
like crazy. He stopped his vehicle close to me and we had
a chat about how the racing
was going and when I told him
that I had the car in the market, told me that he would give
me some sponsorship starting
from this particular week-end
and for a year on.
I made sure that he was
around the corner before I did
my “jig” and ALI shuffle to
celebrate this. Heck the whole
job seemed a lot easier although I could feel it by the
time it came to pack up tools
at 6 that night.
A.T.S used to have sales of
tyres and equipment many
years ago at the end of every
season and I had bought
some Dunlop tyres about 7 or
8 years ago that I kept in my
spare room at home. These
along with a spare Conti were
duly fitted to some rims in
preparation for this race. The
Wednesday 24th being a holiday, I took Thursday and Friday as well to enable me to
get as far as possible with my
list and to go and scrub my
“new” tyres.
On Friday I did the scrubbing, scrutineering et al and
found that I was just over a
second quicker around Z as I
could take turn 1 much faster
and the sweep as well. I hung
around for a while and was
surprised that for a change
there were not that many people coming out to practice.
Wimpie found that his Scirocco was going slower as
practice went and discovered
some oil dripping out of the
overflow bottle and Jannie diagnosing it as a possible broken ring. Annie himself only
did a few laps before parking
the car, covering it and leaving
for home. Divov came out
quite late and found that his
car was handling up to no
good and played with the tyres
pressures after some consultation with Nortman about
pressures. Van Vuuren also
found his car not up to scratch
and a broken crank was discovered. The ride home was
fairly slow with an accident
close to Tembisa that had the
traffic crawling in first gear at
times. My new stickers were
given to me that evening at
home, which were fitted first
thing the next morning.
As our qualifying was only
late in the morning, I took a
leisurely drive out to the circuit
enjoying some good music
and jurst checksing out da
scenery.
Fortunately the A to D field
was combined with Trans –Am
cars and we had Cavalieri out
in the makulu ex- Vianna
BMW and Boet Gouws in his
repaired Can-am as well as
newcomers father and son
Barbolini team with a Can-am
as well. All in 17 cars qualified

Reply from the Pre 84 Chairman to Bob
Osborn’s August comments/gripes
It would be nice to run the
cars in their own heats;
however I have a register
of 32 cars and only commitment from three people. Brian Evans tried to
get these cars on the
track many years ago and
it failed. These original
cars are more genuine in
terms of body and colour
than the current cars running in “touring cars” , yes
engine size is free but
there is a limit on the
V8`s. Bob are people upset that a Golf is giving
the class a driving lesson?
I asked the committee a
year or so ago if we could
put these cars in their own
heat, by this I mean put
pre 84 cars in class F to G
and move class E. That
meant classes A to E
would run together, this
was shot down big time.
I then spoke to Peter Du
Toit about what I wanted
to do, I quote, “I must be
getting old, these cars
are not historic.” A couple of race meetings later
I saw the Trans Am in the
place of class E. All I
wanted to do is give this
class some exposure so
that it might attract more
cars.
Just to give you an idea
of the cars that can start
their engines and race
NISSAN SKYLINE, NISSAN SENTRA, NISSAN
EXA, BMW735, GOLF1
X2 CARS, FORD ESCORT (X4 CARS), FIAT
UNO, MAZDA 323 (X2
CARS), ROVER, JUMBO
GOLF.
Never mind the rest of
the list of real race cars
that are lying around in
the rest of South Africa
and the cars going to
waste in Zimbabwe and
Mozambique.
The reason I started with
the register was to prevent these cars from either losing them to overseas buyers like Larry
Wilfred’s Audi Quattro
which is in America, I
won’t even talk about the
original cars that have
been chopped up and destroyed for hotrod’s (oval
track racing and not touring cars)
The class was to cater for
group one, Group N (A
and B cars), ex WesBank
cars (up to pre space
frame cars)
Instead of shooting a
concept down, talk to the
right people and it will be
explained!
Kind Regards
James Bennett
Apology
I would like to sincerely apologize to Willie Gobbler in offending him in
what I wrote in a previous letter to the Historic Times.
This was not my intention and after a discussion with Willie I realized that I
used the wrong terminology in the wrong contents.

TERRY’S TRIVIA
Meanwhile as a new Concorde Agreement governing
F1 has not been agreed
to Mr. Mosley has already
started laying down the
law that should the F1
teams not be ready to
propose new methods to
reduce costs, obtain better fuel economy and –
most importantly-provide
more exciting racing by
the deadline on 3rd October, then the FIA will lay
out it’s rules for 2011.
Probably all of the teams
have been working hard
on the new rule defining
the KERS—Kinetic –
Energy Recovery Systems, scheduled for introduction on next year’s
cars. This has resulted in
some unusual problems;
Red Bull Racing has to
call in the local Fire Brigade when their experimental KERS system
failed and caught fire resulting in lots of smoke
and fumes. Worse still –
BMW Sauber were testing at the Spanish Jerez
circuit and on returning to
the pits, as the first mehttp://www.autoracingdaily.com/news/indycar-series/for-helio-castroneves-
Non-legal people ( such
as me ) are still a little
puzzled that Max Mosley
won his case and more
so that he had the majority of the FIA back him
and avoid being thrown
out.. It’s a funny old world
which does not make
sense where ethics and
old fashioned morals are
concerned. Mosley did
not deny that he was involved in a sadomasochistic orgy with 5 prostitutes and that he had
been interested in S&M
for 45 years, he had been
married for 47 years and
said that his wife did not
know until the story came
out.
chanic touched the car he
received a severe electric
shock which knocked him
to the ground. Fortunately
after a night in hospital he
was able to return to work
the next day—fully
charged up. It could be
that KERS is going to be
put on the shelf for a
while.
It looks if Kiwi
Scott
Dixon has all but sewn up
the Indy Car Series
Championship, he won
his 5th of the season at
Edmonton Canada in a
race plagued by crashes
and ill-judged moves

Barnstorming finish at Kyalami

van Rooyen crowned Champ
The delightful rasp bellow of
the big black Batmobile leading the train of historic racing
cars down the mineshaft of
the famous Kyalami circuit
was a sound too delightful to
the petrolheads of days long
gone. It is a pity ‘though that it
fairly romped away at the front
of the field. in lap 4 it already
stated meeting backmarkers!
Of keen interest however was
the gargantuan battle raging
between the two VW Scriccos
of Van Rooyen and Patterson’s son Geoff. Lap after
blistering lap they dog-fought
each other with no quarter
asked and none given! It was
a thouroughly exceptional display af racing at its very best.
What spiced up the whole affaire of cource was the fact
that both heats were msut
wins for championship honours. Jannie took all the extreme pressure that young
Geoff meted out and he and
his Jagermeister liveried car
came home champions for the
2008 season. In the eyes of
the writer both drivers deserve
the mantle of champion with
the display of exceptional skill
and control and all this under
tremendous pressure. Well
done to both of you.
Theo in the Datty was fairly
and squarely beaten by the
silver Scirrocco of Wimpie in
the kink, no bother he just rearranged the mini cones and
went straight through to turn
ten. “Hmmmm, that was
easy!” Martin Botha found the
kink quite a challenge with
considerable understeer problems.
An interesting dice developed
also between the two Escotrs
of Wrong way Mae and Joe
Sores and into this fray came
the massive Robert’s Merc. It
was fantastic to see the two
slug it out time after time into
and out of the dreaded kink.
At one stage in sheer desperation Wrong way Mae took
to the dirt on the outside between the kink and the start
finish straight to pass the blue
Escort of her tormentor but
she just ran out of space.
Later the Roberts Merc
passed both of them as they
were being lapped by the Batmobile. This move by Uli in
the BMW taking a squabbling
bunch of two Escies and a
Merc was a spectacular and
brave affaire that left many
hearts in mouths for the duration of the overtake, even the
stand full of spectators held
their collective breaths.
Maybe when Joe lost out to
the Wrong way Mae and the
Merc in the kink he should
have tried the Theo Datsun
trick to regain lost ground.
Meanwhile in the middle of
the E Classers Low profile Pat
and Martin Radel were forever
together for the last four laps
of the race. Martin upfront
with Pat snapping at his rear
fenders in each and every
corner. The misfiring Escort
jinking left, snapping right in
desperate efforts to put the
bug behind him but to no
avail. It was interesting the
see how their respective lines
into the kink changed from lap
to lap, always in total concert,
with Pat at one stage having
to take to the dirt to avoid
banging. Two more who certainly got their money’s worth
for the day, not to mention the
spectators who loved every
minute of the duel. Of particular note was the fact that Martin fell quite far back from the
Low Profile Escort on the cool

which eliminated his main
rivals. Champion dancer
who has finished second
in many races this with no
wins screwed up his footwork and spun when attempting a late passing
move on Dixon but managed to save 2nd place.
British ex-F1 driver and
two times Champ Series
title runner up, Justin Wilson finally made it to the
podium for the third spot.
Mario Andretti ignored
team orders to let team
mate Tony Kanaan pass
and then shunted team
mate Danica Patrick, stalling her for a few laps. Rahal was smashed out –
Kanaan led for 9 laps but
spun out, Carpenter
bumped and almost took
out polesitter Ryan
Briscoe and Dan Weldon
–who also, with Dixon has
a career total of 15 Indy
Series wins was also
shunted but finished 7th.
But Dixon sailed serenely
along winning by almost 6
seconds and stretching
his championship lead to
65 seconds.
Some really nice news is
that
Cristiano
Da
Matta,,former F1 and Cart
2002 champ, who was
nearly killed when a deer
ran in front of his Champ
car during testing at Road
America in August
http://www.paddocktalk.com/news/html/modules.php?
2006 where it was feared
that he would not even
wake up but would probably sufferer brain damage.
It was not even discussed
whether or not he would
ever drive a racing car
again but almost miraculously he has made a
wonderful recovery and
was able partner Jimmy
Vasser in a Daytona Prototype at Luguna Seca
Raceway where sadly
they had to retire after
briefly leading but at least
he is back and hungry to
drive again.
Team A1 Italy may be
wishing wistfully in hoping
that Valentino Rossi will
race their car in the
2008/2009 season . Rossi
was very impressive when
testing a F1 Ferrarri and
now that the cars are virtually Fazzazza clones
the Team Italy bossformer F1 driver – Pier-
carlo Chinzani, claims to
have made positive contact with his close friend
Rossi and is optimistic “It
would be a fantastic situation to have him” however Yamaha may feel different about this as it
would probably interfere
with the winter testing program.
Finally it appears that FIA
is serious about reviving
the Formula Two series
as a “Arrive and Drive”
operation The FIA is calling for quotations for the
exclusive contract to supply F2 cars from 2009 to
2011, they are hoping to
arrive at a figure of about
300000 dollars for a driver
to contest a season . As a
comparison , GP2 costs a
cool million dollars per car
each season .

Gouws found a problem with

The Barbolini Can-am also
pulled off when the centre of
the left front wheel parted
company with the rest of the
rim.

The pace men in the A-to
D/Transam race have either
forgotten what a rolling start
is or they have never known.
As soon as the pace car
pulled off, they were basically
racing flat out down the hill
and around into the pit
straight. They went past the
lights with the lights still on
and the normal touring cars
backing off for the restart that
never happened. After one
and a half laps Mark in the
red Camaro pulled off at the
table top and 2 laps later
Jonathan retired the other
Camaro. Morgenrood, Pienaar and Cavalieri got into
their own dice as did Jannie
and Geoff; the two VW’s initially mixing it between the
V8’s.
As the day got hotter so did
the dices with Sanne, Patterson snr and Densham duking
it out until Sanne got some
breathing space and setting
off after Jannie and Geoff.
Divov got into an almighty
scrap with Densham after
Wetton in the Rattax outbraked himself into the pit
straight and almost taking out
Divov.
The Alfa and the Scirocco
came down the hill at times
close to the fence there being
such a defensive drive going
on. Mc Caw had Theo pushing him and Doc G pushing to
stay with them.
On lap 6 ½ at the table top
Ben tried a huge outbraking
manoeuvre on the big BMW
,but ran out of talent and
spun the Mustang into the tire
wall luckily without much
damage to the car although
not the same could be said
about the ego. Patterson did
a few outbraking efforts on
Jannie into the pit straight,
only to be retaken again.
The final result was Pienaar
from Cavalieri, Jannie, Geoff,
Sanne, Patterson snr, Densham, Divov, Mc Caw, Theo,
Doc G, Morgenrood and Wetton being credited with 5 laps
and the last finisher.
The second A to D race
again had the guys racing
down the hill with the HRCR
guys this time a little more
prepared for this type of startlights off or not. Pienaar getting a surprise when the
BMW at first got the better of
him and Morgenrood getting
stuck with them. Geoff this
time around got a better run
on Jannie, but it did not last
too long.
Morgenrood and Cavalieri
were giving it all and Theo
was on a mission to get the
Datty as far forward as possible. The Datty eventually
slowing with only 2nd and 5th
gear left and Theo circulating
just to get a finish. The BM
eventually chucked the water
pump belt and the motor got
hot enough to spit out some
lubricant especially at turn 2
according to a competitor or
two with the resultant fluid
causing Geoff a moment or
two and he then lost space
on Jannie. Patterson snr at
first had Wetton chasing him
and then Densham joined
them. This caused Wetton to
drive a bit more defensive,
allowing Patterson snr some

would have done better
but he managed to use
his mirror as a cornering aid coming into the

in heat 1. I was sitting
on his tail and I could
see his eyes in his mirror as he overcooked it
and managed a monumental spin on the last
corner going into the pit

was J us ti n La dne r in

should have meant that

Disgraceful and downright dangerous!
Rolling starts should be
changed to terrible starts.
At least that’s the opinion
of the Historic Times editor.
Forced to become a spectator for the last few meetings it is shocking to see
what is actually happening
on track. What piqued my
interest in particular was
the conduct of the drivers
on the buildup to the rolling
starts. Since I raced most
of my time either at the
back of the grid or on very
good days in the middle
the dreaded concertina effect was a very challenging
matter to deal with.
Having witnessed the diabolical start of the Zwartkops event on 4th October
where Pineaar in his big
Chevvy took over the mantle of pace car duties when
the official pace car peeled
off into the pits. Holding the
car train up correctly until
the 50 meter marker board
before turn 8, then inexplicably a short burst of
speed to the corner then
braked down to snail pace
again, only to roar off again
to create the start of the
race as the entire field was
wondering what this fool
was up to. Not only were
his actions inconsiderate
but there were also potentially lethal. For the benefit
of Pineaar and any others
who might become confused between what’s correct and what’s in their own
selfish interests I will quote
from the ‘White book’, (Mr.
Pineaar, that is the book of
rules that govern –or at
least try to govern –our
sport.) on the laid down
procedure for a rolling
start. “Prior to entering the
last corner before exiting
the circuit, the driver of the
pace car will slow down to
ensure the field closes up
and will establish the pace
at which the field must ap-
proach the start line. This
speed which should not
exceed 100km/h, must be
maintained until the start
signal is given.”
All those who are confused by the above Standing Supplementary Regulation should spend some
time with Barry Scott who I
am sure will gladly show
you how a rolling start
should take place.
personally I believe the ruination of the rolling should
be a punishable offence.

One day Bill didn't

Sam didn't think much about it

maybe he had a cold

up for a week or so,
Sam really got worried. However, since
the only time they
ever got together was
at the park, Sam didn't
know exactly where
Bill
lived,
so
he was unable to
find out what had happened to him.
A month had passed,
and Sam figured he
had seen the last of
Bill, but one day, Sam
approached the park
and -- lo and behold! -there sat Bill! Sam
was very excited and
happy to see him and
told him so.
Then
he said, 'For crying
out loud Bill, what in
the world happened to
you?' Bill replied, 'I've
been

'Jail?' cried
Sam.
'What in the world

and was
scrapping
it out with the front bunch.
Pat Lee who had changed
Gearbox and all on Friday
had a frustrating time going
through the right handers
with the car spluttering along
and Kevin in his Fiat found
the car very down on power.
Down relegated Vos was on
a mission as class honours
were at stake. Warren was
scrapping with Radel and
Kirk with Mike keeping an evil
eye on them for in case of
mistakes until Warren got a
little breathing space. Mae
was scrapping with Esterhuizen‘s Alfa and Herman
chasing them down. Ladner
was trying to stick to Soares
and Stephen. Kevin was
slowly circulating and Selwyn
chucked it away somewhere.
Van Schalkwyk was having a
dismal session with the rebuilt engine in the Alfa messing him around and Botha in
the Datty had some binding
brakes. Texeira retired after 4
laps –gremlin unknown to
me. On lap 7 Parker outdid
himself and all, touched the
nose of Vonk’s car and put-
“I just love these HRCR race days”
breathing space.Doc G was
trying to improve on his first
lap times chasing down Mc
Caw. The BM retired after 6
laps with a hot motor and Divov pulled in after 8 with no
gears.
The final result was Pienaar
from Morgenrood followed by
Jannie, Geoff, Sanne, Patterson snr, Wetton, Densham,
Mc Caw, Doc G, Theo, Divov
and Cavalieri. It was observed after this race the
Datty of the clan having the
gearbox changed in the scrutineering bay-this job so
taped now that they can do it
with their eyes closed.
The first E to G race had
Nortman pulling off on the
warm-up lap when the head
gasket blew and for the start
the lights were on for a long
time as well and all got away
fairly cleanly. Going through
turn 2 Scott in the Escort got
a bit twitchy; understeering
towards the outside and
Lombard’s bug, but the bug
stuck to its line and ran along
the outside through turn 3
ting him into a spin, with the
result of van Nieuwenhuizen
collecting Vonk’s car in the
rear. Vonk opted not to continue as he was scared of
some unseen damage. Van
Nieuwenhuizen’s car had the
grill damaged and the radiator was pushed back at an
angle. While Willem was
leading his class he ran out
of talent and spun the 131 at
the sweep and it cost him
dearly for position as did G
junior who after his spin tried
the hotfoot boogie and when
trying to correct the car did
an additional 360.Hey boet

Between the heats with
plenty of time, there was a
hive of activity at fault finding,
with Deon the one of nonstarters as the car would not
start or run properly. Also out
was Ladner. Kevin found that
the adjustment on his juice
cable was a bit out and he
was only getting half throttle.
Pat adjusted the float levels
on the Escort and Wentzel

head. For the second heat
Parker was replaced by
Danie as per their agreement
in the Mazda who promptly
spun the Mazda into the pit
straight on the first lap causing some soiled undies behind him.
The second heat start had
again the lights on for a while
with John getting away a bit
too soon, resulting in a 30
second penalty for jumped
start that was over ruled later.
G junior ate some hot curry
between heats and had the
Alfa gong after John quickly
and Lombard was chasing
Scott. Going around the table
top Lee put his car on the
outside of Lombard, who
gave him room going down
the hill as to avoid the Escort
doing some offroading. As
mentioned, Danie spun the
Mazda going into the pit
straight, causing pandemonium and luckily without getting donged. Radel had Mike
in the Merc hounding him and
Warren ahead of them. As a
few cars started a little back
they had some work to do
and Kevin moved forward as
did Wentzel and Vonk. Herman decided that he wanted
to get to the front of class F,
but chucked it away somewhere along the line. Willem
moved through the field and
Vos found himself defending
his lines from Stephen. Esterhuizen at first was pushing to
stay in touch with Mae and
Soares until he found Texeira
hounding him. Kirk had the
Reno spluttering around and
Martin was still battling with
the Datty.
After his spin into the pit
straight Danie decided he
was going to get to the front
the sooner the better and in
the process spun the Mazda
into the kitty litter at turn one.
This resulted in the pace car
coming out, which put paid to
a lot of hard work for some
and putting smiles on faces
of others. Unfortunately Selwyn passed some-one under
yellow and was later disqualified for this. Things like these
do happen especially when
you are in good scrap and I
have done the same a time
or two and have waved the
other competitor past againmaybe it was a bit harsh I
think.
Meantime Saturday night
AM, Wentzel got past
Lombard and was chasing
after Lee, the Escort pulling a
lot better than before. Scott
had his hands full to keep
Lee behind him. On the last
lap Lombard moered it all
away going turn 2 when the
butt stepped out and not
enough power to pull it out
this time with the Uno on his
tail, luckily without touching.
SH.T said the king and 10
thousand butts shone in the
sun. The bug was in 1st gear
very quickly, but just as
Lombard was about to pull
off, he saw Radel half losing
it and realised that Radel
would hit him on the door
should he get going. Roberts
jnr was on Radel’s tail and in
the process passed the Beetle.
In the process John points
and G junior broke class.
The final result was John
from G junior, Scott, Lee,
Nortman, Warren, Roberts
jnr, Radel, Lombard, Vonk,
Kevin, Willem, Vos, Stephen,
Mae, Soares, Esterhuizen,
Texeira,
Herman, Kirk, Martin Botha
and Danie.
While at the prizegiving it was
pointed out to me that the ruling of John jumping the start
had been changed and I then
got hold of him and we ran
around to get the correct papers and eventually got the
keys from Sonia.
The prizegiving was abuzz
with all the people having a
nice kuier, the new Sports
and Gt winners and placers
being congratulated, tales
being told and pleasantries
being swopped.
I took a nice slow mellow
drive home ,being thankful
that the car was still in one
piece and also thinking about
the last race of the season
coming up the very next
week-end.
With the 9-hour around the
corner, there are stories being told of preps being done,
some people are looking for
sponsors and some for codrives. The main bone of
contention being funds of
course.
May the gods of fortune smile
upon the main contenders
and by the time we read this,
the championship will be all
but wrapped up.

Mike Altona (Dart) is the
2008 Northern Regions Historic Sports and GT champion. With two wins in Class
E for the day, he secured the
2008 title by 15 points from
Evert Botha (Porsche) and
third placed Clive Densham
(Alfa). Last years champion,
Stefan Puschavez (Porsche),
was unable to race at Zwartkops due to other commitments and dropped to 5th
place from second behind
Nick Parrott (Porsche). Mike
also won Class E overall as
well as the Production Sports
Car Category.
