a Few words from the Manager...

As you can see, I will be enjoying my time...but

A Warm Thank You to everyone who contributed this year:

To Riaan (Iceman) Wessie, for skillfully designing the cars, Hendrich van Rensburg for his driving abilities, Ken Hunter, always willing to lend a hand, Mark Johnson & Stue Abbott, for joining us at a late stage.

We enjoyed a rather quiet year, but I am confident to up our game in 2009! May you all have a blessed time ahead and drive safe!

Ken Hunter the perfectionist



Everything that Ken Hunter does, is 100% and 'give it his all'. That's how I've come to know him.
Here are a few examples of the 'top notch level' that Ken gives...

Race 13 Results and update

The race at Spa did not go as planned. Ken was unfortunate to miss the qualifying, and Riaan was called unexpectedly to Cape Town for work. We never loose hope or sight of our goal!

In the meantime Riaan was offered a Managerial post at his current employer, which might see him spending some time in Germany and overseas. All the best for your future plans, Riaan. He stays part of the team, and when he has a chance to kick some ass in the races, I know he will!

Off to Monza, Italy!!

Race 13: Spa -Francorchamps Circuit



Arguably the most interesting circuit on every year calender, is the notorious Spa circuit. Almost everybody loves to drive here.

Race 12 Race Results



It was touch-and-go for the Deltec Team in the Advanced Race. Ken did well to qualify in a time of 1:39:115, just 1.4 seconds off the leader!



Unfortunately Ralph Gauss had a run-in with Ken on Lap 1. Ken had a good run in p13 for most of the race, but his car's brakes failed on Ken's car on lap 35. What a pity!
Riaan also wanted to race, but he lost allocated for the race too late! Bad luck there mate!



Stay tuned for the next race at Spa...
