Three drivers on track yet in less than three days of race, and a beautiful surprise: Overdrijf, netherlander, which has choosen SDR to begin his Stunts driver career (absolute outset in a Stunts official race on the WEB for him)!     Other two drivers are two old (in every sense...  ) pipsqueak for SDR NORH races: me and Krys TOFF. Sure assay races for Krys and Overdrijf, but a race more consistently for me. Maybe too much to hope to gain another bonus points at next checkpoint...    Anyway, good beginning of challenge waiting new results and new drivers too!

Free track for me, not a great show but a good result, I think. Three improvements with last one just 3% lower than previous leading time: this means another bonus point for me!  Previous leading time at 1st checkpoint was infact 1'15"20 and to get another bonus point I had to go down under 1'12"90. I taked some risk, and I reach 1'12"75 getting a second bonus point. Sure I hope to get the 3rd bonus point too, but... it will be very hard: it seems too much far 1'10"55... Moreover, in RH race an well-know driver has just reappeared, and we can be sure we'll talk soon about him in NORH race... So, I, Krys and other NORH specialists (CTG? Parano? Gutix? Zak McKracken? Others?) are advised...

[Chulk]

Hello everyone. I'm coming back to stunts as I was away from ISM. My house needed to be re-painted so my brother and me spend entire January on that. I like this new checkpoints system and I'll try to retain my title.

[Mark L. Rivers]

Yes, all were advised, all were at window to see if the tornado arrived... and it's arrived!    Chulk, last season master, is come back with a fantastic time: 1'10"45!     Another great demonstration of his incredible ability in this difficult specialty, another great challenge to all others drivers, especially for me, the only driver in last season which has tried to oppose at his superpower! Only one time in this week, but just one week to the end: what will we see in the last seven days? Will we see anyone ables to put his own wheels ahead Chulk's car, maybe a driver which has not raced yet? Well, Chulk's time appears very hard to reach, but the passion of NORH drivers could fill the gap... isn't it? 

[Mark L. Rivers]

After a whole season with a unique name in first line of Season scoreboard, "Chulk", the new season has begun with a news: "Mark L. Rivers" is the new name on top of general classification! Yes, I have succeded in last days to put my wheels ahead the argentinian champion (0"80 the final difference) thanks to a different choice in last section of race! In fact, I and Chulk had raced our respective races almost specularly, even if Chulk was always faster in every section (-0"25 in section 1, -0"05 in section 2, -0"15 in section 3), except the last (+1"30 in section 4). Another great challenge from us, a dazzling prelude for the whole season! And R1 has gifted a new podium for Krys! He has sent a new time just before the deadline with a consistent improvement: 1'17"70, not very bad! Yes, 8" more than winner's time could seem so many. But it's not so. Mastery is a difficult track for NORH drive, because it needs many attempts to find a right feeling, and maybe this explains the limited number of pipsqueaks. It was pleasent anyway to greets the outset of a new NORH driver, Overdrijf (4th at the end without improvements)! R2 will start next 1th March at 00.00.01 and drivers will have to race a different car, Jaguar XJR9! A description of next race will be published soon! Sure I hope others driver will join in the big show called "NORH Race"!

[Krys TOFF]

I see on the website that you published my video as replay was not attached, but I sent the replay in another mail a few minutes after the noRH video.

[Overdrijf]

Sorry for not being very active this month, I'll try again on the fast track that's coming up.

I didn't receive it...

Strange... mail re-sent.

I and Krys renovate in R2 our duel! Both have evidently choosen not to jump on icy tract and this explains their times not so fast  , even if I have succeeded to make lightly better getting the first bonus points at stake. Well, really it's very riskful to try the fast-way with the blind-jump and subsequent landing on the small and close icy tract where it's absolutely necessary to inverte immediately the trajectory avoiding a slide on the water... And if a driver wants to keep the speed to jump on the bank-road and on the subsequent tunnel, well, the thing is still more complex...    Anyway, we'll see a balanced duel from me and Krys!    Sure great wait for Chulk's outset and sure for other daredevils and passional drivers which want to feel the great emotions that only a NORH race can arouse! 

[Krys TOFF]

Both have evidently choosen not to jump on icy tract

Well, it wasn't a choice for me...
It was because I failed doing it properly : either I jumped to short and finished in the water, or else my car slided and went to the water after landing.

I tried to jump too... but after some failed attempts I thought to choose the safety way... for the moment...

Only 2 times in last week, but very significative! Outset by Chulk in R2 with a strong time the day after a consistent improvement (-4") by me: both under 1'29" and I still remain at the vertex for only 0"80!      After the great challenge in the last year, it seems that I and Chulk have begun to know very well each other: both know the potential of the other and so we balance our performances in a very similar way!   :)This time I have dosed my potential succeeding to catch the bonus point at stake for the 2nd checkpoint. But at the next one, maybe it will be Chulk to get the last bonus point! But we cannot forget another strong NORH pipsqueak, Krys TOFF.    He has demonstrated yet to be very fast on this track, and if he will reach to land on the "ice-chicane", he can easily jump on top of the scoreboard! And we cannot forget that other NORH specialist like CTG, Gutix, Parano, Zak McKracken and other could join... The door is open for every driver! Sure, it's not easy to win a NORH race...    Don't you believe it? 

[Krys TOFF]

we cannot forget another strong NORH pipsqueak, Krys TOFF. 

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not a so strong noRH driver. Or maybe I don't spend enough time in noRH racing to be really competitive... Getting the 3rd place in the podium is the best I can do : compared to you and Chulk I'm slow in noRH.
