The Cars in the Park events are huge, quite possibly one of the biggest single-day gatherings in the country, so when you see one being advertised it’s well worth your while to clear the calendar, send the family off for lunch somewhere and get to the venue to soak up some automotive awesomeness.
The venue used for the past couple of years is Zwartkops Raceway, a great spot for a motoring-inspired event even though it’s not a competitive racing one. The facilities are looking great and size of the infield of the track can accommodate loads of cars. Besides filling all that space, just about every other available parking space also gets filled with superb examples of all kinds of cars from all walks of life; stock old cars, modified cars and a whole bunch in between. There is always loads of eye candy; it’s almost a visual overload, especially if you’re a true car guy (or girl). If you’re busy with a project car of your own, visiting the event will fill your head with more ideas than you will know what to do with.
