25th August 2012: Streetcar Track Day, Drags practice and Street2Strip
After many weeks of not running events due to the Muslim Ramadan and being the middle of winter, Killarney will open its doors this weekend to host a Streetcar Track Day, Drags practice and Street2Strip on Saturday 25th August.
The days starts off with a drivers briefing at 9am for all new comers to the Streetcar Track Days, this is where the rules of the day are explained and flags shown. Once this has been completed drivers will be allowed onto the circuit in one of three groups available. Track sessions last till two o clock where the last hour is an open session for all drivers that have taken part on the day.
This will be followed by setup of the circuit for quarter mile drag racing and is expected to take about two hours due to major gates than need to be closed, fencing moved around the start line area and the crash barriers opened at the end of the main straight.
MSA Drag racing practice will commence from 4pm and a few hours will be made available to the competitors participating in the following weekends MSA Drags on Saturday 1st September.
Street2Strip entries will take place at the main gate caravan from about 3pm and Street2Strip will take place on the Killarney main straight till about 10pm in the evening. This Street2Strip event is proudly being supported by CPi Chip tuning innovations and is also supported by Sarafina Consultants helping to make these events even more exciting. Renault Cape Town will be exhibiting their Renault Megane Trophy and come see the Renaults F1 pit girls. Other exciting attractions include Pro-Fit Gymkhana Challenge (Designed by Ernest Page), Motorlease Burnout competition at the start line, Bassickly Deaf Colab Sound off Competition, CPi runs challenge and the CPi spectator challenge. Visit: Facebook Street2Strip@Killarney, CPi Street2Strip, for prizes and further details.
Drift Africa will also be hosting their first round of the 2012 Drift Africa drivers search on Saturday at the Killarney oval. Other Drift Africa events are scheduled to be at the Ford & Friends event on 8th September and the organizers are working on a concept to host a few events on Wednesday evenings at Killarney in October, dates will be finalized soon.
Admission is R30per person (under 12 are free) and the gates open at 3pm and run through till 10pm. Call 021 557-1639 or email [email protected] for more info.
It is possible to run the track day if it rains however Drags and Street2Strip will most likely not take place it the circuit is wet, for both safety reasons and timekeeping system reasons. Please see below for more info on Street2Strip and Track Day events hosted at Killarney
--------
KILLARNEY STREET2STRIP INFO:
Entries from +-3.30pm, limited to the first 200 entries only. On track till +-10.30pm
So if you or anyone you know has ever wanted to put their streetcar onto the Killarney main straight this is the perfect opportunity.
Want to know more:
· Entries (main gate caravan – times above) – show SA Drivers license and complete required paperwork / indemnity. R20 to participate / R30 admission to get in.
· Vehicle check (go around Turn 5 and turn right into back of scrutineering building) – all wheel bolts required, battery must be fastened down properly and everything must be in general good working order. Required safety gear include long pants & top, closed shoes and SABS approved type crash helmet.
· NOTE: Always drive slowly on the access roads and circuit while not participating.
· Vehicles that have run quicker than a 13 second run are not permitted at Street2Strip events for safety reasons.
.................................................................
The idea of the Street 2 Strip events is to provide the facility at a nominal fee to street racers who are racing in and around Cape Town. As there will be no formal competition and this is aimed purely at the Street racers, no competition license will be required however indemnities will have to be completed. The timing lights will be in place however there will be no results posted nor prizes awarded at the end of the evening.
This event is aimed specifically at the streetcar street racers with RSA driver’s licenses. So with that in mind there will be no motorcycles on the evening, no interruptions from the Club drag competitors, just a queue of streetcars wanting to take one another on down the strip. As we are planning to have many more of these types of events we are aware of noise pollution laws, we will not allow any vehicle even moderately too loud after 9pm. This includes some drifting practice at the oval side of the circuit when approved to run. So if you have an after-market exhaust, don’t worry unless it is very noisy. Straight through exhaust will have a problem so please do be aware of the situation.
(Please note that rain could cause the event to be delayed, cancelled or postponed. Unfortunately there are no refunds and right of admission is reserved. Times could also change as the organizers see fit to do so if required.)

Gonna compete in the S2S. We need more BMW's in the S2S, Psymon69, you gonna join me?
I was gonna compete in the last S2S, but I would have been the only BMW, was too embarrassed to race against the Golfs and Vtecs. You dont know what they got under the bonnets
