Hi all,
we're back from Austria, the land of mountains and snow. SNOW??
In Middle Europe spring has startet now. 50°F and snow only above 5000 ft!
This was my first race at Hohenems, but definitly not my last. One of the best organised race, we had great fun. Drivers came from 6 different countries.
The track was great, not too fast, not too easy. I saw alot of people using brushless systems, mostly 5.5 or equivalent motors what i heard.
I used my 13x2 CP based Banzai motor and it worked very well. No powerproblem against the BL and very easy to drive. BL do wheelies everywhere. Only service was whiping off the dust.
Tires as usual, Schumacher minipin + stagger rib yellow.
55 competitors in 2 wd, 4 rounds of qualifying with 2 counts, laps + time.
After racing buggy on carpet in march 06 the last time, i was very happy to stay in a-main until --- the last round. Then i was kicked out of the a by 0.5 sec!
Wearing the BQ helmet-- with Banzai sticker on it -- i won the 1st b-main and finished 2nd in the 2nd b-main. This was 12th place overall.
Gerd finished 20th and Fritze 47th, he broke a lot in qualifying.
In the next days they will have many pic's here:
