Inland racing update. South Africa has talent!
South Africa’s biggest MX series has had a fantastic year so far. The average race attracts just
over 160 riders – and before lockdown hit us – spectators flocked to the venues to support the
racers and watch the fun.
2020 has seen 7 events so far with the last scheduled to happen @ Terra Topia on the 21st of
November. Full feature on that one in our December magazine – thanks to the guys from 12Twelve
Designs and Sole Racer, Media partners to the Inland Series.
The last event we covered was Round 4 also at Terra and since then, the guys and girls have
raced at Smoking Pistons, ERORA and Dirt Bronco. So you get the idea – 3 events in 28 days.
And the competitors are loving it!
This is an inter-provincial championship, under the auspices of the crowd from WOMSA. A fantastic
feeding ground for racers looking to move to the national series – or to pursue race careers
abroad.
IN Fact – many national racers come and compete in this series and are often spotted helping the
less experienced clubbies out.
There are some very talented riders out there in all classes – from small kids, right up to the fast
“Toppies”. The youngest is 4 years old – and the senior citizen of this lot is 70 Yr old Mr Johnny
Nel.
And there are heaps of classes – a class for every rider, and they boast that they are the only series
with a ladies only class and that is well attended with an average of 15 ladies per event.
With a bit of luck, next year, we’ll cover each event – and there is even more news.
Plans are afoot for Northern National Championship and a Southern National championship that
will include some far flung tracks like: Capricorn Raceway on Polokwane, Manna MX in White River,
Holeshot Harry’s in you guessed it Harrismith, High Stakes in KZN in addition to the 5 Gauteng
based venues. The Inland Series will also include a manufacturers championship.
This will all culminate in the traditional North Vs South shootout in Bloem in September 2021.
More news soon. It’s going to be great!
