The Polokwne Oval track was a hive of activity this past weekend when racers from the United Kingdom visited to compete against a South African team consisting of racers from Polokwane, Brakpan, Klerksdorp and a Pretoria team, the Barbarians.
In the first heat the South Africans ruled in front of the race but at the rear the UK visitors shuffled the South Africans to the back of the pack.
In the second heat local confidence went out the window as the English took all the podium places with the Barbarians close on their heels.
