Delta Park Night Racing

[Bikemania]

Good morning to all.

a few years ago, on every Wednesday evening, there would be a XCO like event in Delta Park (JHB).  

We would race on a 2km loop in just one hour and try to accumulate as many laps as possible. 

It was the perfect after work activity with a great crowd. 

Does anybody know if these events, or any of that kind, still exist. 

Please let me know.

Good times, that and the Mintek sorties! They stopped doing it some years back, apparently a security risk. But in reality I think it was because it became too much PT to organise. 

I know Taroko our at Modderfontein are doing weekly social night rides/runs on a Wednesday. But nothing racing wise.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I am going to ride at Taroko tomorrow.

Found memories. Jules on his SS usually the winner.

Jules didn't win at delta or mintek too often. Was usually John Michael or, Stuart and later Ryan started winning. I was involved in the organisation. We also did children's rides once a month at Mintek until an attempted hijacking at the club....

We tried our luck a few times.

It was fun, but the beers in the carpark were funner
