RIP Venlo scooter run

Goodbye Venlo :-(

Many of us visited this legendary scooter run in our youth and in the past 3 years. Tonight we got the sad news of the end of this era:

Friends, there will be no more Venlo meetings! The owners of the site have canceled the 2018 date and announced that the space will no longer be available during the summer - gamers with a huge budget will take over in the future. We thought about it a lot and decided that no other date or place would be an option - as you can probably guess, not an easy decision. The idea behindThe new edition of Venlo was created in the spirit of the early nineties, when it was still part of Holiday in Holland. We're glad so many of you came from the same impulse, making it the relaxed, unconventional meeting that it was. The course from the restart in 2013, one of the coldest meetings in the history of scooter meetings, to one of the hottest at the end, has made it clear to us that Venlo is largely dependent on two things: The sun and its traditional place in Kronenberg.
Your positive feedback and the great popularity rewarded and encouraged us to continue the meeting despite the high effort. We would like to thank you for that. We hope you can understand our decision not to water down Venlo. We prefer to stop when the party is at its best so that the meetings can be kept in memory.
Our gratitude to everyone who designed Venlo with us cannot be expressed in words. This refers to all the buddies (male and female, of course) at the entrance, at the counters, at the feeding stations, at the mixing consoles, during the race, assembly and dismantling or with the stewards - in short, all supporters. A list of names would go beyond the scope - you know who is meant. None of this would have been possible without you.
We still have some unpublished pictures and (probably soon) a video that we will post on the Venlo FB page from time to time, so check back soon.
See you at the meeting

The right tire for scooter sprint events:

Tire -PMT Drag Racing- 10 article no. 7676174

Anyone who drives in racing will know the enormous importance of the tires used.
Every newcomer notices when the old hands are literally raging around the ears that it's not just the profile that counts, but above all the right rubber compound to match the weather, track and vehicle. The enormous difference in performance there is with tires is immediately clear to everyone who has one legendary PMT tires was allowed to try.

The Italian company PMT (Pauselli Model Tires), which has been active since 1990, was previously only active in the RC car and the minibike sector, which is popular in Italy.

With their entry into the scooter area, they have a top position among the ad hock Favorite tires of the TOP drivers got hold of. The PMT tires are available in perfect mixtures for the various soil, weather and temperature conditions.

Slick, mix: hard
The slick with a hard compound is ideally suited for routes with high asphalt temperatures and heavy use from many alternating curves and braking maneuvers. The hard mixture is the most abrasion-resistant and can therefore be used very well in endurance / long-distance races. The warm-up phase for the optimum operating temperature (~ 80 ° C) is significantly longer with this mixture than with the "medium" or "soft" mixture.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, mix: medium
The medium bridges the gap between the hard and persistent as well as the extremely well adhering but also quickly wearing soft mixture. The medium thus covers a very large area of application. Its optimal operating temperature is ~ 75 ° C and, like the hard mixture, requires a longer break-in period than the soft mixture to get up to temperature.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, mix: soft
The soft PMT mixture offers full grip even at lower temperatures. Accordingly, it wears out quickly at higher temperatures and then no longer offers its full grip level. In return, it very quickly reaches its optimal operating temperature of 70 ° C.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Slick, rain
With the rain slick PMT offers a new interpretation of an intermediate. An intermediate with a slick profile was created here, based on the rubber compound of the pure rain tire. Ideal for changeable weather with equal proportions of wet and dry sections of the route.
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Rain racing
The rain tire from PMT plays in the highest league of rain experts for the circuit.
Whoever has mounted this tire needs a good excuse if it did not work out with a good placement ...
The recommended air pressure for the front is 1.2-1.3 bar and the rear between 1.4-1.9 bar.

Drag Race
PMT's drag race tires are ideal for all quartermile engines.
No grip is lost here and all of the power is transferred to the asphalt without slipping.
But that also means that there is no mercy for clutch or transmission ...

Venlo Euro Rally 2016

Lambretta, Events, Vespa

The cult meeting from the 90s

On the 26.-28. Organize August Spirit of 84 Scooterists again the international Scooter Run in Kronenberg, Holland, near the border town of Venlo.

Back then: the first time Venlo - Holiday in Holland

The first Venlo Rally took place in 1993. Back then, together with the Speed Demons SC Rally in Borculo, known under the banner Holiday in Holland. Scooterists from all over Europe met - especially from Germany, Austria, the Benelux countries and Great Britain - to exchange ideas and celebrate together. Anyone who was there at the time and can actually still remember details will be able to understand why one ultimately had to take a “forced break” in Venlo.

Today: Venlo again

20 years later. In the middle of a foggy night, the old organizers had a bright moment: “We are resurrecting Venlo!” The rally has been back since 2013, and the trend is growing. Last year over 1.300 international visitors were counted (which makes Venlo the largest free rally in continental Europe), many of whom were already there and most of them still came by scooter.

In order to maintain the spirit of the meeting, it was consciously decided to bring back the 90s programmatically: In the large hall the main nighters take place with traditional scooterist sounds, i.e. soul, R'n'B, Ska / Reggea, Brit Pop / Madchester but also unconventional. There is an alternative nighter in the marquee, as you can find at British meetings. Mainly progressive electronic sounds are played here, from disco to hard floor. The DJs are also international, each one of them a run-tested party pig. Please note: Children should no longer be on the premises in the evening.

Full program

The daytime event on Saturday is also based on the entertainment of the nineties. There is a custom show, you can relax in the beach area and enjoy fresh cocktails. There is also plenty of choice for fixed meals, even for vegetarians / vegans. For the sake of completeness, we would like to note that the latter, as well as the hygienically perfect showers and sanitary facilities, are NOT authentic for the nineties, the organizers would like to apologize at this point. A performance test bench is available to you for FREE, the strongest opponent wins a trophy. And of course there will be fun games again, we don't want to reveal more.

Grass track roller racing

A highlight for many is the grass track race, the field of which is also growing every year. This is where the really fast guys compete with people who just want to get a taste of things. The starting fields are divided according to lap times in qualifying. The requirements are very simple: You need a scooter, a helmet, protective clothing and the knife between your teeth should be made of rubber if possible. Also ideal for beginners. You can simply register on site, you can get more information from the organizer contact at the end.

August 26, 2016

Anyone who would also like to have a good time and experience something of the spirit of the old scooter runs is very welcome. The only requirement: bring a good mood. You can get more information from Facebook or the organizer contact.
