See you in Bitburg!!!

Hi Kobus ! Good to read something from you  :D

We from 1on1 thought about offering some bracket racing on sunday if there are enough competitors , may be that makes it more exciting and  a ladies cup if there is no powder puff ! So everybody has a chance to get a trophy !  We can give out trophioes for 1-3. place !
And we will make some inspections on friday if the weather is ok , but i think the weather is almost good at Bitburg  :D

Udo

there's an oldspeed challenge ??? may be i will run with the 61 , nothing special for oldspeed ??? rollcage , helmet , bells

Every driver needs a helmet !! We have some for rent if somebody has no own helmet .You must have a belt , min. is a 2 point belt like the older cars had . Rollcage only for cars faster than 12.0 sec.
For ALL , please watch for your batterie that it is fixed , look for oil leaks . I am happy that i could see that the quality of race cars got better each year at Bitburg .  :)
So we had no problems during the last years .

Udo

hey Udo, yeah, i've been busy.. not much time for lounging....
 
but for sure the weather will be great as it always it in Bitburg end of September  :D

long live the Indian Summers of the German Eifel region!!!  :D

it looks like many cool cars will be out to play! see you there! and for now greetings from Japan, K.

Kobus,

Some of us from the Netherlands will do one or more laps on the Nürburgring on Friday afternoon when the track is open to the public. 'Touristenfahren'  ;D
After that we will drive on to Bitburg, which isn't far off from 'The Ring'.

And then run a '11'er' time at DDD (I hope if the car is still alive then  ::)) and cruise home again  8)

Walter

Hi Walter,

Udo

Those crazy Dutch! ;D I can't wait. Let's hope the weather will be dry. For those that want to join at the Ring, we are there on Friday at 14:00.

Cya all @ DDD!

Likewise Udo, the shifter has been mended  ::)... see you at the dyno  ;)

I would prefer BK, if you don't mind!  :D Yeah, we could do that, why not?

Hi Georg

Team Tekken managed a 9,58 and 227 km/h first time out. Track was a bit slippery so he did not manage to improve his time and on his last run he broke a exhaust valve. Time for burger, beer and talk said the last sms I received.

And I also heard about a Opel Speedster  :o managed the biggest wheelie seen and when it hit ground it broke in half  :o  :o Please tell me someone managed to take some pics of that wheelie.

I heard the story too, it looked like the biggest luck he didn't flip over, please post pics or movie

it was a great meeting and Helge  8) congrats on the well deserved trophy

I didn't broke in two, but I'm sure it is bent, front window was broken and the opening between the doors and door pillars was not really straight anymore.
If anybody has seen the back from an Opel speedster than he knows that the back end is very high from the ground and still their was minimum 1 cm polyester gone from scrapping the ground.
When he was standing almost vertical he let go the throttle and the car felt like a brick on his front wheels, even the front nose hit the ground, Terrify!!

I'm sure anybody will put it on the internet.

Here it is, someone post it on a other forum

Thanks everybody for the compliments.
And yes we had a great weekend.
My best time was 14.370,not bad for a no trailerqueen.

Coool JP. !!!

here are my pics: http://olafalbers.de/gallery/dasdragday6 (http://olafalbers.de/gallery/dasdragday6)

it was a wonderfull weekend although my car didn't perform the way i was expecting it to be -but meeting so many friends and seeing great racing action made me forget about that! the best run i saw was jürgen/dfl against tom ratzek -two of the most beautiful cars doing what looked like a synchron wheelie and ran nearly all the way side by side -both doing 11,?? sec passes.

We had a very nice weekend
First i want to say thank you all for comming . We had good weather and 690 !!!! passes on the track . No oildown and i think a lot of fun . The only thing i missed where some highlights like the outlaws . But we had some fast cars , best Et was from Stian 9.5 !!!!!!!!!! Very good for the track .

Hope to see you all next year !!

Udo

that's top notch photography there!
IMPRESSIVE!!

Now THAT'S a wheelie!  :o :o :o 8) 8) 8)

After that i looked if Richie Webb was in that car  :D

Udo

Opels are crap cars if they can't handle awheelie like a bug can ;)

Hey guys,this is my first reply(love to read the toppics every day).I was at DDD6 saturday and it was very good!!!Thanks to Speedwell for letting me taking pictures inside his car.A question at Sven,i hoped to see the Gemini,what happened?Grtz,Peter.

Hi Peter,

Nothing serious, I guess a new car and engine isn't alawys easy in the beginning.
I'm sure I will be ready for next season to do every meeting.
Still I'm happy with the 10.8, this means that it an only be better next season.

 Too bad I didn't see your run... I really like your souped-up Gemini bug...

no problem it's a pleasure  ;)

I could'nt make it this year which was devestating as i really wanted the "Dog" to shake a leg in germany.....

I agree Udo it would have been great for the outlaws to be there, when i was there it was great not just for the racing but for there help and there willingness to help others... they are an attraction on there own. As mentioned on another topic it will be good to go to one of there meets next year, i.e. Garys Picnic....
