The super twin turned out to be the many explosions and problems. We started with 21 bikes entered but Roman Sixta did not come after his problem in Finland and Torbjörn Svenssons bike was not ready to race. So we had 19 bikes that did pass the technical inspection.
After qualification was it Hans Olav Olstad against his Norwegian friend Matti, and Matti did take the win since Olstad had some engine problems, but Matti also had some problems and did spray the track with oil that did almost take an hour to clean up. And there was some more problems so Matti could not race in the next round against Lorenz Stauble that did win over Svein Olaf Rolfstad that during qualification did scare us all then the chain brake and made a cloud of plastic. But for the handy Norwegians was it no problem to fix. It might not been a show winner but id looked okay. On the other half was it Job Heezen that was number two qualifier against Samu Kemppainen from Finland and then Job’s bike stopped was it a win for Samu . But in the next round against Per Bengtsson who had won over Greger Johansson was Per to strong and did win over Samu. An small notice is that in the round between Per and Greger was it some problems with the timing equipment and they had to shot off. Then they did the rerun was I very scared since the stage beam was behaving a little bit strange and I was afraid that we should have some more problems. But nothing happens and there was a good run. So in the semi was it Per Bengtsson against Lorenz Stauble.
Then decided the weather that it was enough of racing. At 16.22 did it start to rain some small drops and all the time then the track was almost ready for race did it start again. And at21.30 decided the race direction that it was to late. Then was still not braking area dry and it started to get dark. But I must say that looking at so many people waiting to get the track dry and helping with this is a very good example of sportsmanship. It was sorry that we did not manage to finish the finals in all classes.
