Windhoek club creates own spin area

The Windhoek Spin City Club has constructed its own spin area, which many consider to be the “perfect” home for the sport in the capital. The decision by the Windhoek Spin City Club to establish its own spin area was initiated by the administrators behind the capital’s newest club, Joel Nambahu and his friend Peter Opali. The new venue is on the north eastern outskirts of the capital; providing a remarkable scene for spinning in a well-controlled environment. The club obtained this piece of land from Trans Namib to develop fast growing motorsport activities in Windhoek, something Nambahu and Opali are grateful for. It took them a number of weeks, energy and financial strains to put the interlocked facility together, as well as to put up safety barriers and a fence. Nambahu said they needed a venue of their own, instead of using the popular Tony Rust Track, which many use to practise local motor sport. The venue is also used as a training platform for spinners where they learn about various options of driving, as well as to teach them safe ways of perfecting stunts. All this is free of charge, and carries a number of benefits. The club is being run as a private entity and is not affiliated to any motor sport federation or clubs. The club, however, liaises with police, traffic officers and medicals when arranging their events to comply with safety requirements, while there is also an insurance policy for the spinners in case of an accident.
