@ Robert
There didn't happened much to Andreas,they just took away his chances of winning the championship,which sucks bigtime. X(
Roel van den Hout was making license runs for SG this weekend.
Everybody thought that he acomplished his tests on Saturday,including the people who made up the flow charts .
But,to everybody's surprise,Roel had to make one last run on his own on Sunday morning in the first Elimination-round.
This means that there was a unequal number of racers,so Andreas ( nr.1 qualifier ) was supposed to have a bye-run in first round eliminations....
@ Klaus
I'm aware of the fact that van Leersum broke some old fashion stone age rules by using his SC-runs to dial-in for SG,
but that wasn't world breaking news to the other SG-racers as he used all available runs for this purpose.
So did Scheppers and Vegter,several times last year,in fact it's happening in all the Sportsman -classes in Holland now-a-days.
There are S/ST Cars in Streetmachines,SG cars in S/ST Car,etc.
The guys bought a new weather station at the beginning of the season and wanted to get comfortable with this new tool,something they still haven't accomplished after such a short season as ours.
That's one of the main reasons to race at the Main Event(UK) earlier this year and to compete in both SC/SG at DRAGten,just to make as much runs as money and time permits.
The Nova don't even get close to a 8.90, it wil need cold summer nights,warm track and damn good air to make a decent 9.10.
It surprised them to be at the nr.3 spot with 9.3 sec runs in SC after the MPM-event,guess this says more about the (international) level of SC-racing in Holland then van Leersum's skills in SC.
He pays for the attendence-fees,so he will be the only one to decide what to do with his runs.( if we like it or not )
As far as I'm informed there are NO such rules in the Dutch scene which prohibit this kind of actions,let alone to make any protest .
So it's a bit tricky to judge without knowledge of a persons goals for 2005.
Me for myself, I don't see any harm in using the TS in SC for SG-purposes,cause it's just a tool,you still need to bring out a lot of luck and experience........
Still,both Robert and you made your point of view,so maybe they will think twice before they act next time.(or not )
Maybe when the Nova is sold,he might buy a decent racecar for the SC-index ;-)
What happened to Andreas Homburg is the biggest error ever made, something which probably had great impact to the value of the 2005 championship,we'll never know.
Besides all the errors and different point of views,Zippel was the right person to win,he deserved it with good close racing and friendly sportsmanship,no doubt about that,any competing SG-er will agree...
Just my 2 cents....but that is in the eye of a Dutch racefan
