CE 7 Patricia Kästner
CE 830 Jean Dulamon

It was probably the smallest class at Drachten,but with a lot of awesome runs.
One must admit that there's zero future for this class in Holland,as there are no cars available over here apart from the foreigners.
I can imagine that some of the regular racers will be upset,but I guess that this had to be done.
Still hope you guys will run in SuperPro...

I can feel with Björn and other comp drivers .... especially because of this nice event ...

One class more or less, does it make any difference in time scedule with 2 or 3 cars...?

.... the Show for the spectators..?

Any ideas?

Dirk, thanks alot for the kind words.

I know that 2008 has not been a "good" year for comp. eliminator in Drachten
but over the years i observed the same happened to other classes also ( there
have been events where only a handful Super Comp cars appeared) and i never heard rumors of cancelling this class.
It`s also hard for me to accept that another reason may be that there are
no participants in comp eliminator from the netherland - wake up buddys, we
are living in a world that is growing together more and more, and what is better to be "international".

As we say in german:

Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt

And what is with Pro Mod?
With Holland having 4, and next year 5 cars running in the class,
and only 1 or 2 showing up?

There are realy nice cars and projects in the Comp Eliminator pipeline and the class itself is always really fascinating for the people - the faster car wins! And there are really fast and impressive cars in the 6 and lower 7 sec range!!

In SuProET a 6 sec car has a much lower chance to win than the slower cars because for them it's much easier to keep the consistency!

But that's what the people want to see - fast 6 sec doorslammers and dragsters from all over Europe!

Zitat:One class more or less, does it make any difference in time scedule with 2 or 3 cars...?

Of course the Comp Elim class is a great show,but not much of a competition with a average of 3 racers.
But I could be wrong,as I'm just a fan and not a boardmember of eXplosion.
The racers involved could always send a mail to eXplosion about their thoughts and ideas.

Zitat:And what is with Pro Mod?

and only 1 or 2 showing up?

ProMod in Holland is just a Demo class, even for the future I can't see any competition for those guys at Drachten,especially if they keep running in FIA.
They just can't take the risk of any damage to their equipment a week before a FIA-event.
If Comp Elim would increase in numbers,then eXplosion would probably be the last to stop racers from coming over to Drachten.
I don't know the reasons for stopping this class,I can only guess....
But like I've said before ,mail your concerns to; explosion@planet.nl

By the way,the Dutch translation of this story says;

The Comp Eliminator class will stop as a competition.
This means that there won't be any pricemoney,etc.
The Comp Elim will become a Demo class.
So it would still be possible to make your own race for victory.

Bei den Drachten Internationals stand CE 830 Jean Dulamon alleine auf dem Platz und konnte nur Demoläufe machen. Er war sehr enttäuscht, denn er hat die weiteste Anreise (von 1500km) von allen Teilnehmern auf dem Platz.

Die Klasse Competition ist schon seit Jahren vom Aussterben bedroht, deshalb bin ich auch umgestiegen in S/C !!! Rennen fahren mit 2-4 Autos macht wirklich keinen Spaß.

Ist absolut FALSCH das schnellere Fahrzeug hat immer den Vorteil, das siehst Du schon bei den Jr. Dragstern!!!

Gerd is right, statistics has proven the faster car(hunter) in bracketracing has an advantage.
Also; if the slowest (first starter) pulls red, the faster car allready wins without doing anything....
