Just going to highschool ,a few friends would get together for some fun.
Hitching a ride for about 120 km along the dual carrage road between our two towns
was the challenge.In those days motorists would easily pull off and even drive out of their way to drop you off.
A favourite destination was the bumpcar races on the ash ovaltrack(stampkar renbaan).
The last to arrive had to buy cooldrinks.
At that stage of your life it didnt matter whether the main interest was the all the cars or the beautiful girls.
At one stage we convinced the science teacher also to visit.
Not to mention the fun ,when we used his Anglia car to circle the school rugbyfield trillion times with the teacher ensuring that all the spectators stay on the pavillon.
The headmaster solved this extraordanary racing at his school by making the schoolbus available to the schoolkids to go to the ovaltrac.
The adventure of travel and meeting diffent people still stay in our veins and some of us continued to hitch a ride to surrounding destinations.
