I used to work for a motorcycle racing team and we went every year to Welkom. I guess thats not too far from then? It was a mining town and dusty when the wind got up. Used to fill my toolbox it did[]

[jacolouw]

Bibbo

Welkom is about 400 kms from Krugersdorp - I grew up in a city near Welkom called Bloemfontein so know Welkom good about 70 kms from Bloemfontein- The track in Welkom was recently really upgraded - qiute nice racing there now. Welkom and Krugersdorp lies in different provinces (states) of SA.

But the dust still stays the same!!!! [8)]
