Each team has to have a
marshall but was it like this they meant?
When the race started the Team Persico went into the
lead. Already in the first heat the Smra dosi had to pit for a gear
change. Gears became on of the most "popular" causes for pitting.
The Smra dosi went into the lead in the second heat when Team Persico
did gear and motor change. Behind these two teams team Ingen Aning and
Fabolous Four had a battle.
During the third heat Smra dosi lost the lead temporarily due to a gear
change but they were soon into the lead, a lead that expanded when
Persico did their second motor change.
After three heats we had a lunch break. Beverly made sure that
all racers were feed and the Czech's brought beer with them so no one
need to go thirsty.
In the fourth heat Smra dosi extended their lead but half an
hour into the fifth heat their luck went out. The car came into the
wrong lane and they lost approximately 70 laps during repair. During
the fiftt and sixth heat they were able to get back into the lead.
When we had run five heats the difference between the leading team and
second place was only one 1, lap.
