This invitation by the Zeerust Motor Club is as a result of a posting on AVCOM in Oct 2011 after tyres were rolled onto the runway by some unknown person. The local Motorsport Club were not guilty of this crime, it could have been anybody, since the runway is open to the public and the airfield has no access control. Please refer to the posting:
Quote from Acadamy and Safety:
"Dangerous practise at FAZR (Zeerust)

To each his own..
But desperate times calls for strange coalition partnerships.
Let us keep those faraway strips going, else, as somebody else pointed out, it simply becomes a convenient growth point for a squatter camp."
End of quote.
There are many guest houses in town and on game farms, and if you need to stay over, please indicate. The telephone numbers of some are available and we could e-mail it to you.
Since the airfield will be closed on Sunday, you will have to fly in on Saturday and sleep over for the race. They expect to finish the racing by about 15H00 B, but if you need to depart before, they are willing to stop the race and wave you goodbye. You might not have the whole length of the runway available for take off, so do not come in your Lear Jet and expect to leave early
The orginisers might be able to arrange Avgas and Mogas. Please arrange beforehand. Some of the cars run on Avgas but they must know how many aircraft will need some, to arrange additional quantities. Mmabatho airport is just a short hop from Zeerust, and fuel might be available there.
Parking for aircraft will be on the main apron. The orginisers would like to know beforehand more or less how many aircraft plan to attend so they can reserve and close with danger tape, an area which is not open to the visiting public to keep hands and noses off our aircraft.
Visit Airportiki on AVCOM to view FAZR Zeerust.
Can we have a show of hands here on Microlighters of pilots who might attend this non-aviation event please.
