Deutsche sind Meister in NL!!!

[Udo]

Glückwunsch , echt ne super Leistung. Wenn ich mir die Zeiten und Reaktionszeiten in SG ansehe vergeht einem manchmal die Lust in die Klasse aufzusteigen.
Bei uns hats ja nicht ganz geklappt. Nächstes Jahr gehts weiter!

:bier: Glückwünsche!! :bier:
Zuerst auch an Zippel (für den echt krimimäßigen Vortrag), dann aber auch gleich an Stefan Giese als Competition-Eliminator- Meister und Lucky Lothar Feidt als Super Comp-Champ der Explosionisten!!
Mein Teamkollege Martin "Thunderbutt" Hüning hat es als bestplatzierter deutscher Mopedtreiber immerhin zum niederländischen Vize der Super Street Twins gebracht. Gefeliciteert!!
Und jetzt: auf nach Dänemark!

[Robert Joosten]

to Zippel; respect ! rima:
win in the very tuff SG field, with back to back strong runs.
you are top off the game.
Also congratulations to Lothar with his win in SC.

I don't want to make a end on this party, but zippel is the only german
SG driver at this level...
So to say Deutsche sind Meister in NL is a little to much..

but that is in the eye of a Dutch racer

@ Robert Joosten,
i´m realy sorry to here such statements from a well known and respected racer as you . A champion is a champion by points . So Zippel is a champ and Lothar is a champ and Stefan is also a champ if you like it or not .You dutch guys count there points and gave them the dutch championship ! It´s not importend if those guys are german or not . But to say that only Zippel has the class to win races and championchips is unfair and by the way totaly wrong . Remember the last years where racers from germany dominates as there are Björn Lähndorf, Olaf v. Sprekelsen , Jan Hardekopf , Jens Riehl , Harald Sturhahn to name only some of them . They are dutch champions also and win races in Drachten . Or take Andreas Homburg who is taken out of the last race in unfair ways as the top qualyfier in SG ! By the way the dutch racer Walter van Leersum gets the gold medal for unfair racing from me for dialing in his throttle stop with 9,90 runs in the 8,90 SC class. Is that the level you talked about ?
So be fair to our performance and let the champions be champions . We do the same to you dutch guys .
Take care buddy

KLaus,
sorry if I make the wrong impression.
You are totaly right. That is what I meant. A champion is a Champ by points.
The only thing, and maybe it is also in the translation, is
that " Deutsche sind Meister in NL!!!" sounds like.. well (S) like that !

I talk to Wouter after he make that 9,9 run in SC
and told him that he made a very wrong move with that run. And you are right, it is unfair racing ! big time.
I told him that if I was racing in SG, I would have protest him for that run ! To bad somebody else in SG did not did that.
He agreed with me, and told me that it was indeed a stupid move.
It is up to him to make it up.

I do not know what happend with Andreas ?

best regards to all german racers,
Robert

@ Robert

There didn't happened much to Andreas,they just took away his chances of winning the championship,which sucks bigtime. X(
Roel van den Hout was making license runs for SG this weekend.
Everybody thought that he acomplished his tests on Saturday,including the people who made up the flow charts .
But,to everybody's surprise,Roel had to make one last run on his own on Sunday morning in the first Elimination-round.
This means that there was a unequal number of racers,so Andreas ( nr.1 qualifier ) was supposed to have a bye-run in first round eliminations....


@ Klaus

I'm aware of the fact that van Leersum broke some old fashion stone age rules by using his SC-runs to dial-in for SG,
but that wasn't world breaking news to the other SG-racers as he used all available runs for this purpose.
So did Scheppers and Vegter,several times last year,in fact it's happening in all the Sportsman -classes in Holland now-a-days.
There are S/ST Cars in Streetmachines,SG cars in S/ST Car,etc.
The guys bought a new weather station at the beginning of the season and wanted to get comfortable with this new tool,something they still haven't accomplished after such a short season as ours.
That's one of the main reasons to race at the Main Event(UK) earlier this year and to compete in both SC/SG at DRAGten,just to make as much runs as money and time permits.
The Nova don't even get close to a 8.90, it wil need cold summer nights,warm track and damn good air to make a decent 9.10.
It surprised them to be at the nr.3 spot with 9.3 sec runs in SC after the MPM-event,guess this says more about the (international) level of SC-racing in Holland then van Leersum's skills in SC.
He pays for the attendence-fees,so he will be the only one to decide what to do with his runs.( if we like it or not )
As far as I'm informed there are NO such rules in the Dutch scene which prohibit this kind of actions,let alone to make any protest .
So it's a bit tricky to judge without knowledge of a persons goals for 2005.
Me for myself, I don't see any harm in using the TS in SC for SG-purposes,cause it's just a tool,you still need to bring out a lot of luck and experience........
Still,both Robert and you made your point of view,so maybe they will think twice before they act next time.(or not )
Maybe when the Nova is sold,he might buy a decent racecar for the SC-index ;-)
What happened to Andreas Homburg is the biggest error ever made, something which probably had great impact to the value of the 2005 championship,we'll never know.
Besides all the errors and different point of views,Zippel was the right person to win,he deserved it with good close racing and friendly sportsmanship,no doubt about that,any competing SG-er will agree...

Just my 2 cents....but that is in the eye of a Dutch racefan

@hou$ebros
thank you for your words first so we can here some more guys . But the fact that v. Leersum and Vegter or Scheppers or somebody else compete in both classes (SG/SC) is not the problem if all tried to reach the 8,90 or 9,90 . To use the 8,90 class and dial in 9,90 is absolutely unfair . If somebody runs 9,30 in SC that´s ok if he can´t go faster .Vegter runs 9,10 that´s great for his car! But v. Leersum has doubled his test runs . Next time all SG teams should do the same that would be funny for the spectators and the organisation because it tooks twice the time. And the SC racers use the SG class also to dial there 8,90 times in . Every racer gets his 3 or 4 qualy runs that´s all . I think you might understand what i mean. I´m racing for nearly 20 years now and belive me i never saw such unfair racing and in my mind it should no longer be allowed to race in two classes at one event . I remember when Lothar was standing in the burnout erea with his engine running and waiting for Mr. Scheppers who was just racing In SG the run before and some of his team was towing him back and Mr. Scheppers need a lot of cool down time for his SG car and everybody was waiting for the next" rain " .That´s so stupid because a SG car must drive by his own and the radiator must be so big and the cooling system must be able to hold the normal temp all the day long . So are the rules .I realy enjoy racing for so long now but what i don´t like is if somebody is doing unfair things. Not all racers have the balls to say what they mean and doing protest in a guestfriendly foreign country .But i only wanted to say that everybody should be fair to each other and realy enjoy dragracing as i do for so long now .

moin männer
also mal kurz auf den punkt gebracht wer hat den titel jens zippel und das zeigt mir doch deutlich das kompressor nova auch 200 läufe hätte machen können um sein auto einzudailen geklappt hat es ja trozdem nicht und im umkerhschluss heisst das ja auch das zippel mit weniger läufen seine karre besser im griff hat und somit nicht nur der bessere fahre sonder auch mit einem bessserenm verständnis für seinen TS ausgestattet ist . und ansonsten ob unsportlich oder nicht wenn es nicht ausdrücklich verboten ist scheint es keine regel dagegen zu geben ob einem das passt oder nicht.
und nun sollten doch alle sich freuen für die gewinnner und alles daran setzen das wir nächstes jahr noch mal ein paar titel holen

Well,Klaus, for Wouter not being able to cool down his car in time was another reason to skip SC as a whole.
He had a 11 points lead in SG and hehad set his goals on SG.
Winning from Scheppers was no big deal but of no value compared to a eventual SG-championship.
If he defeated Scheppers in the first elimination round( instead of dialing-in for 9.87),then according to the flow-chart he had to face Lothar Feidt.
On forehand a lost run,cause Lothar is running the numbers easily.
I agree with you that people in SC must try and reach the 8.90,especially in elimination.
I know that Wouter agrees with this issue also,it's one of the reasons why he put the Nova up for sale,like I said before.
Van Leersum has the balls to admit that he uses his runs for SG,now if any SG/SC-racer doesn't agree with this move,they should speak and discuss this with him instead of moaning around like litle kids that lost their marbles,he won't bite....
To forbid racing in two classes is a huge step, let's face it,without the SG -ers in SC it's just a Mickey Mouse contest.
There would only be a Lothar Feidt, Michel Baltjes and a single lost foreigener like Zane Lewelyn to "win "the battle....
Don't know if this is the future,but winning a championship with 3 competitors isn't worth a dime.
Well,enough bull from my side,hope that Zippel and team enjoy their victory and don't drink too much
Good luck and hope to see you all again in good spirits in 9 months time
