Off to Herning

"Bags are packed, ready to go.... "
Not by jet plane but with car and camper with the Le Coiffeur team.
I have opened the forums again, so you can exchange results and news.

CU in Denmark!

Hello, we want to show and tell you about what´s happening in “Silvia Super stock Team” garage. After a long time we finally got the engine for “Silvia+”, so now the engine is in the chassis and many other things also is in place but still a lot of work left! Our new transport for the team and tractor is almost ready. There will not be any pulls for the tractor in 2007, but we think that everything will be ready for 2008.

Photo course

Added a little "tractor pulling photo course" for beginners

Back Home

After one nasty kidney stone teasing me most of last week and the pulls being over in the german north west and dutch east, I have made the trip back home.
Found my new lens and a lot of other stuff in the mail to catch up with, which was hard to do as the phone here is driving me crazy.
Anyhow - got everything sorted and now it's time to look forward to next weekend.

The European Championships 2007!

A lot of how and why has been talked after the things that happened in England, but it now is a go with some changes (2008 sled rules apply).
I have only followed the entry procedure on the side this year, but since several teams don`t want to pull because of the accident, it's all mixed up anyways. So I guess it will be a little bit of a surprise as to who will show up.

Some things you should maybe not forget going to Denmark:

They do not have Euros but Kroner - so don't forget to trade in some money!
Car lights on all day!
Beer is "Öl" - so don`t get confused with what you drink or put into your engines.
Do not bring Alcohol into the stands!
They expect some light rain on saturday morning and noon and temperatures around 15°C - so bring your boots and raincoats and for our scandinavian friends this means:
Don`t drink so much on friday night you don't find your bed anymore. Laying around in the pit area or the camping grounds in the morning might get you pretty wet...
