It will be my first time attending, apparently it's a long-standing event in which the biggest & fastest cars attend from ALL OVER Western Cape and beyond..

:joy::joy::joy: Can't wait

 

[1SickG6]

So keen to see how my little girl does on that strip :joy: base run for the next event :rollsmile:

I do know of a 300+kw 335i that's going and also a 300+kw 1M raise:

I think the highlight of the day is going to be Zains 1100+kw XR8 and Suspects 1000kw Lumina :yikes:

 

[Johnny135i]

That's almost 3000kw between 4 cars!!!!ridiculous power bro!!

See you and your little blue beast there!!best of luckraise:raise:

Now I wish I had two wheels!!

I also heard today that you must be there very early!!!they say the queues are crazy long!!

 

[The_Kowz]

Was there 2 years back to give the OPC a run, and took an hour to get in as a participant. Heard the spectators waited well over 3hrs. Suggest you get there before 7am, else be prepared to wait a few hours!

I thought this might be the case.


Aaahh shite!thinking of maybe giving it a miss then, sorry 'G6

Ill pitch up, but if the queue is too ridiculous I might just go have some fun at Langebaan casino for a bit.Haven't been there in ages

 

[1SickG6]

No issues bro! Its normally not thaaaat crazy as most the guys Park inside the night before . The rest leave their cars outside due to the inside parking being full, then enter on foot. I've been going there every event for the past 5 years and never took longer than 30 minutes to get in. Getting out however is when the stuff up happens :bangdesk: this is where you can expect to move 500m every 40 minutes :argh:

 

[Johnny135i]

So how was this event gentleman.

I decided to skip it in the end.had too much work to do anyway, but would like to see some pics/videos if anyone made some:=):

Event was awesome! Probably a million times better organised than before. The No alcohol allowed in our sold there was also a great idea as it kept the animals away :fencelook: races went smoothly as well!
I managed to do 206kmh on the 800m and backed it up, my mate ran 216kmh with his sw + exhaust e92 M3, 335i JB4 + DP ran 213 iirc. Another mate of mine also managed 215kmh in his e92 M3 sw + zorst also.
Few cars were running in the 270s, quite a few actually with one of my friends taking the event in his sierra XR8 with a whopping 275kmh!!! He only ran once as he said he'll wait for somebody to beat it, that car could easily hit over 280kmh on the 800m

 

[Johnny135i]

Wow now I'm regretting my decision to stay away
