Festival of wheeled events for petrolheads

WHEELS is collaborating with KZN’s top drivers to host four events in KZN’s interior during November and December that are designed to please all of KZN’s petrolheads, whether you are into high-speed stunts or the lowest possible dropped suspension.
Team Alky leads the fray with a Bragging Rights event on November 5. After Evershin Pillay, Joey Govender and Reece Williamson headed eight of SA’s top drivers at eTV’s So You Think You Can Drift auditions, held at Mason’s Mill on September 30, this team are best qualified to bestow bragging rights on the capital’s best spinners, drifters and stunt drivers in Scottsville on the first Saturday of November.
Organiser Evershin Pillay told Wheels the second event promises to be as incident free and successful as the first one hosted at the Court Sports on Aberfeldy Road in August. 
Two weeks later, the fresh young crew at Grounded Nation will host a Stance Fest at the Ashburton Training Centre, also home of SA’s oldest stance fest, “Cars in the Park”.
The date is November 19 and the co-organiser Dylan Welton said the point of this show is to bring all types of cars and even motorcycles together. The limbo will be hosted by Low Down Customs, there are four classes; static, bagged, custom and crew. 
“The rule is no deflating tyres and a custom class has been made for drop tops. Other than that you can load as many people as you want in the car or put as many cement bags in as you can,” said Welton.
At the end of November, Msinga hosts SA’s top spinners at the fifth Driftkhana in what Thrill Seeker presenter Andre Karrim describes as the best drifting arena in the country.
And on December 3 Reece Williamson presents Round 1 of the KZN Driftkhana Series at Mason’s Mill. Wheels will be giving away tickets to all the events.
