| Jonathan the Legend Hero of Dezzi, it was fitting that the first race to be won was a Chevron B8, a car that has components sourced from Jack Holmes team Ecosse – Red Chevron B8. The little Red Chevron B8 flew round the Dezzi circuit, winning by over 36 seconds from the Chevron B19 of Peter Jenkins. Jonathan mastered the tight curves of Dezzi with a magnificent display of controlled racing speeds. Beating anything that was thrown at him. This included the Pre 1984 low rider Cobras of Tony Martin, Mike McLoughlin, Colin Clay (Lola T70), Colin Ellison’s B19 and the Dot rated road/race tyred car of Mark du Toit T70 Spyder (Pre 1966 Le Mans Sports & GT). |

| The orange Mustang of Franco Scribante was challenged all the way by the Nova of Jonathan. Ferdi van Niekerk Jnr was the third CoC Legend however, after posting an almost identical time as Franco/Jonathan had his rear brakes collapse on him on his first lap. The broken disc was collected by the U2 BMW of Dorian Garvie which punctured a tyre. Upfront Mark in the ZA Chevelle had a torrid time trying to keep off Clive Densham in his Alfa GT. The Alfa won! Ferdi van Niekerk Snr had a front stub axle break in the yellow banana Ford Galaxie – making him spectator for the day. This also happened to Colin Ritchie the so magnificently prepared Mini Cooper S had suspension failed after hitting a bump. |

| Chad ten Doeschate had a great day and improved his times by five seconds a lap over the course of the weekend. He was followed by Steve Truter’ (a good sight in Natal) in another GSM Dart. It was left to Terrance Botes to keep the Mini flag flying after the other Minis picked up trouble. Never say die, but Frank Copping’s Renault Dauphine had a class win. Les McLeod’s MGB however had a troubled weekend as did Jon Mckerchar whose little Porsche 718 ran bearings at the end of the first heat. |

| That was Dezzi – plenty action, plenty drama, plenty fun… |
