Fierce racing at Glenwood Speedway

The oval track just outside Mbombela produced thrilling races and heated action.

If the weather was hot, the racing was even hotter at the oval track at Glenwood Speedway on Saturday February 9.

With a need for speed, the skill to manoeuvre a very tight oval and the love of adrenaline, race drivers, from children to adults, piloted their two- and four-wheeled machines around the circuit.
