Colour Cup race thrills Polokwane crowd
POLOKWANE – The Polokwane Oval Raceway was abuzz with excitement on Saturday as it hosted the Colour Cup Piet Venter Memorial race, drawing both seasoned and up-and-coming drivers from across South Africa.
The oval track came alive with the sound of revving engines as drivers arrived early to warm up their vehicles and prepare for the high-octane competition.
Adding to the thrill of the day was special guest Danie 'Pitbull' van Heerden, a world-ranked super heavyweight power slap athlete who travelled from Pretoria to attend the event.
Currently ranked fourth globally, Van Heerden was warmly welcomed by fans of all ages, who eagerly lined up for photos and autographs before he joined spectators to enjoy the action on the track.
Event organiser Susan van Jaarsveldt expressed her gratitude to the sponsors and supporters who made the day possible.
'A huge shout-out and thank you to our sponsors – Dunlop Zone Tyre Rack in Dahl Street, Midas Capricorn, QSV, Blue Fish, Maizeys, Capricom Networks, Mobile Marketing, and Polokwane Truck and Car – as well as to all officials involved in making the day a success. A very special thank you to Danie for honouring the event with his presence.'
