Ravensmead High School Carnival

Last week Thursday I got a call from Abubakr Masoet asking me if I’m available to show off my ride at the Ravensmead High School Carnival.  I always say yes to fundraisings, especially when it’s a school event. The Car show was hosted by Stick Shifters and was in the form of a Burn Out, Sound Off and Show and Shine. A number of rides pulled through and it’s always good to see new rides on show.  Here are some snapshots…

Personally, this was surely a great start to 2012’s car …

BM Squad Hook Up at Queens

I remember taking that Sunday afternoon cruise to Sea Point just to check out the guys showing off their pimped out rides.

The club has been around for a while and always tries to support the local car scene, pulling up at almost every car show event. They sport some pretty impressive rides ranging from drop …

CampFest is what it’s all about, the modified cars, the people and being able to camp over. This years Camp Festival was held at the Hartebeesport dam resort.

We got at the resort at about 7am and were surprised to find that there are about 150 cars already waiting in a que to get into CampFest! There were so many cars that cars …

What makes MSA Drags different from Street2Strip?

In short, no long queues between runs :)

MSA Drags offers competitions, also known as Bracket Racing (more info on this to follow) which counts towards championship points to determine the top 3 champions for the year. After each event there is also a prize giving where you could possibly take home trophies and/or prize monies (TBC). ALL drag racing runs will be published after each event. Nice for analyzing your runs, etc.
