Anticipation of the showdown is growing. Eric Williams has shown that he is already competitive on the Honda, getting heat wins at Nigel and on the Oval with basically a MX setup. Many riders have been putting in a lot of practise and making sure their machines are in good shape. We have even seen "Roy" Senna doing a lot of coaching all the way through the ranks. Injuries might play an unfortunate role;  Zelda vd Linde is still healing, Eric Williams is still nursing a fractured wrist and detached ligaments  and we hope Chantelle Darlow will be able to race with a fractured coccyx, providing a competitive Raptor in 450 mix.

In the junior classes Marike vd Linde, Brandon and Devan Wilson, Kyle Johnston and Brandon Darlow are all looking very fast on their modified 100's, but they might have to contend with the likes of Joshua Louw and Travis Zeeman from the Cape, while Pierre vd Berg, Dustin Ledwick, Terrance Beaton, Grenville de Klerk and Juan Coetzee are all flying on the Blasters.

Please help speed up the registration process by downloading the forms from the Wild Thing website and having them ready on race day.

are we having USA guys coming over? sheesh first the capetown guys and now international?

that not a nice bike...

is eric not buying it ;-) i got my conections

One, believe me it is a very, very nice bike. Nor is it slow

one - not a nice bike cos it isnt a two stroke

eric williams, wow, gonna make for interesting racing!

Goigen, it does have a kickstart like a 2 stroke . I know this bike will be competitive and I reckon it will be good for our sport to have another manufacturer challenging for the top.

then you should see my bike!!!

u got me there hahaha
cant wait to see it in action! maybe this saturday's oval?
one - send me a pic then

It wont be at the oval, mx only is my guess. Suspension setup is something else

one-show ure "bike" If you cant show it then just be quite!or just be quite right now!

Hay Eric - was that a awesome start at Nigel or a false start? Let's see at Wild Thing behind starting gates.:o

I was standing 2 metres behind them at all 3 starts - that was an awesome start, not a false start Combination of American Racer tyres and very impressive torque.

Spectator, Eric is an awesome rider, he will never cheat :)

You go Eric. Awsome riding no matter what the bike. Keep it up

goodgrief, yet another contender to try and catch when he comes to the O/17 class
well done to all, there is major up and coming talent in those ranks

hey kyle, dont sweat it, racing is racing. how good of a rider do u think we'd be if we all jus let people pass us as soon as they apply pressure?

Hi is it posiable to have the bike results as well on the web page not just the (QQQ):-?

Hi Francois. Your qustion answered by e-mail

thanks for all the racing stories.different tracks seem to interperate rules differently.in the case of two or more riders finishing on the same amount of points after two or three heats,who should be classified 1st, 2nd and 3rd.please advise .

GCR (General Competition Rules) and SSR (Standing Supplementary Regulation) 239 puts it this way (they have slightly different wording but are equivalent):
"In the case of a dead heat, the competitors concerned shall share the prizes for the first and second place, or if the competitors agree, the Jury or Stewards of the Meeting / Referee may authorize a re-run by such competitors only. The race or heat may not be re-run." It makes no mention of points, but I assume the spirit of the Regulation is that the tied competitors share the spoils.
I have read a SSR somewhere that refers to the 1st heat being the decider, but a quick lookup proved fruitless right now.
Rules are strange things and they often seem to contradict other rules. Some of them impossible. For example SSR232 states that all motorcycles on the starting grid must have at least 1 metre space. This can't apply to quads. SSR233 viii) says "No padding or digging is allowed in front of the start gate unless done by the organizer", I mention this tongue in cheek and in good nature, because maaan we sweep up a storm!!
I know from correspondence with MSA that there is general dissatisfaction with the scope of the regulations and rules for the Inland Challenge, and that they are addressing it urgently for 2006. I dont think anybody anticipated how serious this racing was going to be, and that rules could play a role in deciding the outcome.[[:)]

I would like to thank everyone today for their concern and help when Bruce had his accident. it was great to see all the boys in the under 17 class stop and see if he was ok.

many thanks

BRUCE`S SPONSER ( HIS FATHER )

Kobus...... PW...... u guys must have eaten sum special mieliepap, 3 heats on a blaster and 3 heat on the banshee, absolute madness. thanks for yet another great battle

I was reading the negative comments on Eric Williams. I do believe its a bit of sour grapes. You go Eric my boy:P

He sure did go! Took a new and strange quad out, won the 1st heat by a huge margin and finishes 3rd overall! Nothing negative about that!

Hey bruce hope you feeling ok... good ride eric you go man!!!

Exellent riding in the under 17 blaster and 450

Well done to all our riders. I think we need to get the USA riders in SA so that we can show them how it gets done in the wild S.A.

did anybody see Piertjie push Grenville of the track in the first heat where were the cameras

Yes Piertjie bumped him from the side in o the wall

I think the Willaims family must be very popular for so many people to comment on Eric. Excellent riding Eric you just keep it up boy. It can only be sour grapes. Show them all what you are made off at the next meeting.:P:P:P

Why is everybody all off a sudden quite about the Grenville/Piertjie incident?? Let us hear some comments.
