Mallex hi there and welcome . Here in the EC we are a few and we are far apart . We have got together in EL and had a late morning run on a Sunday and met up at the historical races at the grand prix track here .
The border motorsport guys website is six months old and they seem uninterested .
Maybe watch for a track day or gymkana day at Aldo Scribante . You can watch or participate , even just to go around the track at your speed .
Guys can get together and just go for a run and have breakfast or a late night ice cream/milkshake .
I think we need someone in PE to coordinate this . Also get fanatics stickers from Hellas on the forum and there are moves for t-shirts etc.

Guys we Still need to make this happen?
If you guys want track time, the Next Gymkhana/Trackday at Scribante is in August, they always take place on a Subday. I'll be taking part in my e36 328i Track Car, would be cool to get more guys to join, the last event was 2 weeks ago, we had 22 entrants, you need a roadworthy car and a helmet to enter, sign an MSA indemnity and pay R250 for your first event, R150 thereafter. It's great fun with a good group of guys. Check www.amsc.co.za for more details and the events calendar.
These gymkhana trackdays are there for that purpose only though, I'd suggest if we are to arrange some sort of a Fanatics meet that's cool, but not sure if the Trackday will be it, reason being you'll have lots of people taking part, and other guys with race cars as well as bikes lining up for laps later in the afternoon as they have times set out for bikes to go out then cars etc... so the pit areas will be filled with participants, their vehicles, trailers etc...
Unfortunately from past experiences at events for the track things have gotten out of hand with people who have nothing to do with the racing putting picnic blankets down for their kids in the pitlane to others racing the wrong way up the pitlane. For this reason the trackdays are managed strictly like race events with speed limits and rules set in and around the pits and the track, however spectators are always welcome if not taking part, but when spectators start spinning and having soundoffs etc then it becomes an issue.
Having said all that, I could still send a mail through to the officials to get their thoughts on the idea.
