Report made by Paco Raap

The whole day drizzle rain. But days before it rained heavily. So the track was muddy.
Never the less the race was held. The cars after each qualification needed to be cleaned.
because the weight was over four kilo.
The A main final was shortened to 15 minutes. After the start three drivers ran away from
the rest of the field. Rene van Scaijk in the lead followed by Johan van Helmond and 
Jacco Koch, Rene never gave away his first position. Johan thought to be clever to make
only one pit stop but failed. Half minute for the finish his engine flamed out due to a fuel
shortage! He was already one lap ahead on the rest of the field and so he saved his second
place. Paco was in the meantime passed Jacco Koch who made some driving errors.
The rest could not follow the pace and finished in the order above.
