SHINE AND POVERTY...
SHINE AND POVERTY...
Nizhegorodtsy have not occupied prize-winning places at VI stage of the championship and
Cup of Europe in a class 1600 poavtokrossu, which, as we already
Informed, passed on July, 28-30th in situated near Moscow Dmitrove. However it
Does not testify to low level of skill of our racers.
Life in paddoke where sportsmen have taken places, in itself
Interesting show. Specially equipped buses, on which
There have arrived foreign participants, represented hotels on
The wheels, combined with garage. Under huge awnings
Sports cars of Czechs, Lithuanians, sportsmen have settled down from
Other European countries. Near to them on the placed tables
Owners had supper. The equipment of such buses switches on in
Itself comfortable berths, a toilet and a shower. Kitchen with
Refrigerator, gas cooker and microwave allows
To foreigners to feel on a visit as at home. From the Russian
Sportsmen such perfect auxiliary technics had only
The Tatar racers. The others had much more modest
Resources. Skativ sports cars from onboard lorries or
Trailers, they adjusted the modest life open-air,
Pulled tents. Some participants spent the night in hotel, but
All the same someone from the command all night long was near to car.
Foreign sportsmen with interest considered the carburettor
Motors of some our cars, recollecting the youth. Modern
Racing engines have the most complicated systems of injection some
Are supplied turbonagnetateljami with intermediate cooling. One
The solid gentleman in points with a gold frame, showing on
The car nizhegorodtsa Levitsky with the put letters "AKM",
Spoke: "About, Kalashnikov gut, I, I". This abbreviation
Associated at it with Kalashnikov's automatic machine the modernised.
Meanwhile AKM, or "avtoklassmaster", - firm, where Boleslav
Prepares the car for races.
Nizhegorodtsy have been presented in all three battalions. In
Battalion I (specially prepared cars on base
Serial models - on a sports slang of "body") acted
Levitsky. Its "eight" has the engine with four
Carburettors "цЁц ц?ц ц ". In a battalion III (baggi with the engine
In working volume to 1600 cubic sm) Igor Kalintsev combated.
Baggi with the engine and transmission from "Volga" п п п -3105 in
Battalion III (3500 cubic sm) has deduced on start Dmitry Skorodelov.
Baggi nizhegorodtsev had all-wheel drive transmission, on
Competitions of so high level now others not
Are used.
The first day of competitions has begun with training arrivals.
Sportsmen got acquainted with a line, looked narrowly at the future
To contenders. Nobody tried to come the first, all protected cars
For the present struggle. The situation has sharply changed, when has begun
Selection round. Only six participants, come the first, should
Were to leave in the ending. Passing turns with a pulling down of all of four
Wheels, cars bombarded scurrying about along a line
Correspondents hailstones of stones of different calibre. The present has begun
Wrestling.
Skill nizhegorodtsev called admiration, but to struggle it
It was necessary with the contenders acting on cars with
Engines twice bolshej capacities. All-wheel drive "Tojoty" and
"Volkswagens" overtook front-wheel "eight" nizhegorodtsa,
But Boleslav made up missed on bends. Its result was
The best among front-wheel drive vehicles. However worldly-wise "body"
Has not sustained loadings, and Levitsky has left struggle.
The same picture was observed and in arrivals baggi. Making up
The lost metres at the expense of faultless passage of turns,
nizhegorodtsy lagged behind on direct sites more and more.
Dmitry Skorodelova's constructed in 1991 the car, for the past
Years participated in set of competitions, each of which
It is interfaced to enormous loadings.
It is no wonder therefore, that on it often there were breakages,
Engine jamming became last of which.
Having estimated developed situation, Igor Kalintsev used another
Tactics: it was important to it to save up the car for final arrival.
Strategy has appeared correct, as a result it left in the ending, but
Prize-winning places could not occupy. Final day of competitions
Has met admirers of motor racing by a lowering sky, which soon
Has spilt a plentiful rain. Final arrivals have begun, and
Possibility to rectify an error has disappeared. The wet line demanded from
Racers of other manner of management. Heat of struggle has reached a limit.
Often cars were not kept in turn and hit about the protective
Protections, but many had plastic bodies, and on them not
Remains practically any damages.
Especially it would be desirable to note the Nizhniy Novgorod fans, which not
Were too lazy to do a way more than in one thousand kilometres there and
Back, to support the fellow countrymen, and when Levitsky under
nakrapyvajushchim a rain left the broken car on a line,
Tribunes have started to scan: "Slavka, Slavka!" They on advantage
Have estimated skill of fellow countrymen and on termination of races have poured over them
Champagne.
Final arrivals came to an end, racers ascended to a pedestal,
Flags of their countries rose, traditional champagne was handed over.
The Lithuanian sportsmen at this stage have appeared the best in a battalion
I, in a battalion III (1600 cubic sm) the first and third places for
Czechs, and the second the German racer has occupied, all three first the places in
Battalion III (3500 cubic sm) have got to Czechs.
Who they, these remarkable Czech and Lithuanian pilots? Judging
On age, the majority of them began the sports career
In days of Soviet Union. Then DOSAAF prospered in all
The Soviet republics, and in Baltic in special honour was
Motor racing. The similar sports organisations were and in
The socialist countries. Almost all foreign visitors Dmitrova -
Pupils of this military-sports organisation. Also it is very insulting,
That is so strong raznitsja the relation to motor racing in these countries and
In ours. Similar, anybody does not have affairs before, whose advertising will be
It is placed by cars of sportsmen, whose flag will be lifted in honour
The winner?
