Winter Black Jack Race

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.

Last 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:

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

Copa Truggy 2009 Holanda – 1ª Prueba

El pasado fin de semana se disputó la primera ronda del campeonato Truggy de Holanda en la pista de Almelo.

La pista del club, se reconstruyó con arena, arcilla y césped artificial, para hacerla adecuada a las prestaciones de los Truggies.

Durante las clasificatorias, Bas De Konik, fue el piloto más rápido, seguido de Jorg Van Leuken.

Después de las mangas, el estado de la pista recordaba más a la superficie lunar que a un circuito de TT. Debido a su composición llegaron a formarse “Cráteres” de hasta 1 metro de profundidad, lo que convirtió la final en un espectáculo. Los pilotos, lejos de mostrarse preocupados por el estado de la pista, agradecieron el aspecto que presentaba, ya que corren la mayor parte de carreras sobre hierba artificial y para gran parte de ellos esto era un aliciente más.

Destacar que en la carrera había un trofeo especial para el último clasificado de la final (10ª), de ahí el añadido en el podium. Esta idea fue promovida por el programa “Man Bijt Hond “(Hombre Muerde a Perro) de la televesión Holandesa NCRV. En este link puede verse un pequeño reportaje de la prueba en clave de humor, eso sí, en Holandés.

Ya en la final, las primeras vueltas fueron dominadas por el “Poleman” Bas de Konik, con la sombra permanente de Jorg Van Leuken quien finalmente se hizo con la victoria, tras un problema mecánico del vencedor de la pasada Truggy Cup, De Konik.

El podium final fue el siguiente;

1. Jorg Van Leuken (Xray – Novarossi – Merlin Fuel)

2. Jan Van Dick (Losi)

3. Jan Paul Appel (Xray – Siim — Merlin Fuel)
