Narrow misses are what the fans want in the Battle of the Provinces |
MARITZBURG’S own spinner mentor Kurt Volmink
recently competed for the Western Cape team in the Battle of the Provinces
(BOTP) and returned determined to gather a team of KZN spinners to take on the
rest of South Africa.
The BOTP spinning format sees two cars compete
to get closest to tyre obstacles set out in a narrow arena. The crowd favourite
is a high-speed 180-degree flick to reverse park into a narrow bay called “The
Kitchen” before spinning out again.
Volmink met with top spinners in
Pietermaritzburg on Monday and they will next meet in an elimination round in
the city on June 16 to select a team to compete Dundee on July 1 an provincial
event hosted by Dundee’s king of spin, Preshu Singh.
Drivers who think they have the precision car
control required to be part of the KZN Spinners can contact Kurt Volmink on
