so I'm back home.
The event was great. we had all diffrent kinds of weather. Our team ran only on Vapor and used 5.4 up to 13.
I have no idea what place we got or who won because we had to leave right after the race. As soon as the results are posted I (or Rip) will post a link here.

The "one man 24 hour" record was broken by a 65 year old. He drove for total 21 hours and made 650Km. Looks like a new challenge for a little Asien guy;)

After seeing Rubens Buggy I can only say they both lost about six of thier 9 lives. I have never seen a buggy (from Ruben) damaged that bad. Ruben had to go to the Hospital but was back on crutches after a few hours. I saw Arjen back on the course riding around 5am.

Our team had a great time and we cannot wait for the next event.

@ little Asien Guy, our team is starting to make plans for a one man 24hr run next year so hurry up and give it your best cuz next year the record will be pushed up really high!!

NEWS NEWS NEWS

We are happy to announce that Arie,John Jansen and Sebastien Thomes had won the 24 hours race at SPO last weekend, at first the papers said that the Libre team Germany had won, but the organisation made a small mistake by changed the last 2 digits, instead of 21,8 km , they use 21.08 , so in the end the Peter Lynn Team was firts with a minor difference of only 160 meters !!! unbelievable !.. way to go guys ! And Arie, be well soon, as you have now some nice white plaster on your ankle (ripped off his ankle bands..) Good winds, Team Xxtreme

Arie and Ruben ( Spanish PL Team driver ) had a collision, both driving +/- 50 km/h and collided head on
Ruben had 2 swollen ankles Arie ripped ankle muscle and an big cut on his chin but Arie just went on buggying.

the 24hr solo will be soon, need to get training. I have a system to keep the RS Juice flowing. Thx Ruudje.
