Last weekend Nbr Mol organised the final race of their winter blackjack race. Blackjack means heats of 21 minutes for everybody, so no qualifications, finals etc. just 21 minutes of racing. The fastest heat of the weekend would be the winner.

The complete weekend was very wet so all drivers were very happy with the big heated tent Nbr had placed.

Buggy class had 3 heats with Belgian, Dutch and German drivers. Jorg Van Leuken competed all heats with Markus Feldman and Paul Geelen. After 5 heats Jorg Van Leuken managed 31 rounds with only 3 seconds less as Markus Feldman. Paul Geelen toke third place.
The final championship ranking we saw youngster Sander Van Genechten take victory.

Truggy class also had 2 heats with international drivers. Rc-Speedhouse boss Bjorn Nagels won 3 out of 5 heats but had to leave 1st place to Kris Verlies. The final championship was a close battle which Bjorn Nagels won.

Here is what he had to say:

«I’m really excited to be part of one of the best fuel brands around the world. They provide me all I need for my engine and my run time, so I cannot want anything else.

We ( my dad and myself ) will help in the development of all Merlin products the best we can and we hope to offer to all customers the best option to buy. I would like to thank Nitrolux to support me during all past years.

We keep in touch and remember, the track is open, and I’m ready to race!

Germany Soccer WCup Octopus OracleLast weekend took place the 7th Rd. of  Truggy Cup at Helmond. Coming from Oberhousen where we used to have a good friend (rest in Peace), who predicted the Spanish victory at World Cup, Paul the Octopus.

We do not know for sure if Paul had time enough before dying to predict also Bas De Konik victory in last round.

Unfortunately Helmond track appeared really wet on sunday morning. The attendance was not so high as in previuos rounds, maybe becasue of the weather forecast.

This was the final result:

1 – Bas de Konink
2 – Dave Liekens (Merlin Fuel)

Last Sunday it was the final race of the Exceedcup. With 59 drivers for the last race it’s obvious that the guys from Exceedcup did a good job during the 2010 season.

The fact that hobby and sportsman class already knew their champion before the start of the last race didn’t slow the drivers. The battle for other top places was still going on.

We saw Jeffrey Halsema taking TQ in front of 2010 champion Jorg van Leuken and Paul Geelen.

XC_final

A-final had 10 drivers, all sportsman class with exception of Rene Kuijpers. From the start there was no stopping on Jeffrey Halsema who’s Mugen Mbx6 simply outran the others and who lapped everyone during the race. We saw a battle for second place between Jorg van Leuken and Rene van Schaijk untill mechanical problems forced van Schaijk to drop down. Comfortable second place for van Leuken. Paul Geelen toke third place in front
of Jan Eichhorn and Dave Liekens.

Last weekend the drivers of the Truggycup were racing at the great track of Oberhausen.

Together with this event there was a round of NRW cup.

Oberhausen

These 2 cups resulted in 68 drivers on sunday morning.

The weather was dry and the people of Stoppelhopser Oberhausen had everything under control to make it a great day.

TQ was taken by the Xray of Jorg van Leuken, in front of Dave Liekens (mugen mbx6T) and Kris Verlies (Losi).

Main final was mixed truggycup and Nrw which resulted in 8 truggycup and 4 nrw drivers.

From the start of the final dutch Jorg van Leuken and Belgian Dave Liekens ran away, they were both to strong for all other competitors.  After 30 minutes the gap between Jorg van Leuken and Dave Liekens was only 3 seconds, so very close racing.  Jorg van Leuken took victory in front of Dave Liekens and Bas de Konink.

Tras el éxito de participación del año pasado, se repite este año esta extraña modalidad RC, en la que los Truggies, son empleados para remolcar caravanas. Algunos son incluso capaces de hacer el salto doble con la casa a cuestas, tal y como se puede ver en el siguiente vídeo.
