Zielona Gora - Poland IDSM 2010

On 9/10 On May 2nd, the second race at the IDSM in Zielona Gora took place.

Since the slope in Poland is one of the top IDSM routes, I was allowed to 650Km How to get there is of course not missing. The event was again well organized and apart from the power outages in the nights there was nothing to criticize.

On Saturday, after 2 hours of free practice, the two timed practice sessions were due, as always. In the 1st Qualli my engine was unfortunately still a bit too sluggish and with Place 7 I wasn't entirely satisfied either. In the second training it was much better. with Place 4 of 19 starters I still secured a place in the front row!

On Saturday evening we met comfortably by the campfire with a beer and "gasoline talk" - before we went to bed.

After the warm-up on Sunday morning, the first race in the 12 inch class was on the program. I got off to a great start and came second through the first corners. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep this place for long and crossed the finish line in fifth place after a lonely race. Kevin Chadrysiak won ahead of Max Moutschka.

In the second race, I'm up from the start Place 4 drove and then had Philipp Winkel (champion 180ccm 2009) close behind me for the entire race. On the penultimate lap, my rear wheel suddenly slipped in a fast corner and I fell. Since Philipp was only a few centimeters behind me, he could no longer evade and also had to go to the ground. Luckily we both could continue and I am up behind Philipp Place 5 got to the goal.

All in all, I was satisfied with the race weekend and after a long drive home (back home at 0am) I went back to work on Monday morning at 6.30am!

Now there are a few weeks until the next race to replace the defective fairing and some other parts. The next racing weekend will take place on June 19th / 20.6th. on the go-kart track in Wittgenborn.
