1st DBM Race 2012 - Pfingstrun Stockach

Why do we have the Pentecost holidays again? Oh sure... so we can go to Stockach!

Just like every year, the Lakescooters Wahlwies organized the traditional Pentecost Run at the Lake Constance - and the guests came in droves. Saturday and sunday night round about 1500 people came to celebrate and the DJs and liveband did their best to keep everybody in high spirits.

The organising team of the DBM (German geared scooter sprint championship) had a reason to celebrate, too. They had been working hard in the run up to the first race of the season, they updated the rules and regulations and presented many new gimmicks (e.g.: live timing directly on the smartphone).

But they assured us that the increased number of participants (+1/4) and an enthusiastic audience made up for their efforts. The new Streetrace class was also successfully launched. It is especially designed for those who are new to or only recently back on the 1/4 mile.

Results of the 1/4 mile (which was only 300m long this time):

Class 1 (SF Sport): 1. Gerhard Zsiga, 2. Udo Graf, 3. Veit Nübel

Class 1b (SF Oldschool): 1. Salvatore Randazzo, 2. Romeo Napoliello, 3. Jochen Schreiber

Class 2 (177cc): 1. Torsten Dowideit, 2. Moritz Hoffmann, 3. Nico Gnisci
