Screeching tyres, handbrake turns, bursting tyres twists and turns; the list is endless to describe what 52 year old veteran spinner Uncle Goofa could do in a German BMW popularly known as the Gusheshe.
Uncle Goofa is set to do his much anticipated
last spin showcase at the upcoming Blow out Festival hosted by Selekta Base
dubbing the event Kings of the City Edition at Borowdale Race course on Sunday.
In a statement released
recently Uncle Goofa expressed heartfelt gratitude to the fans, friends, family
and sponsors appealing for the sport not to die.
"On the 30th of
October will be my last time showcasing what I have learnt over the years, I
will be stepping down from spinning. I hope the sport will continue to
grow", he said.

of the City Edition are set to witness the auctioning of veteran spinner Uncle
Goofa after his set as the proceeds of the auction will benefit a yet to be
