My son, Bryan Grimbeek (featured above), is one of the new generation of dirt oval racing drivers to hit the circuit in a mainstream class. There are a number of up-and-coming youngsters, some of whom have been around for a while, and others who are just starting out. The amazing thing is how many youngsters there are who suddenly take part in the previously "adults-only" classes. What's even more amazing is how well they drive!! I am a really glad that a stance of allowing them to spread their wings has been taken. Tracks like Tygerberg Raceway are also wide enough, and have the traction, to allow for those times that mistakes are made. A quick adjustment to the steering wheel, brake and accelerator, and they're off again forming part of the pack.
If you click on one of the pics on the scroller on the left, and then after you've closed it, your screen seems to be darker and stand still, just move the page up and down a bit with with your bar on the far right of this screen, and the page will return to it's original state again. If you would like the scroller to move slower, or if your would like to rewind, just place your cursor over the scroller and control it.
