the weather situtation on the course for the ams is as follows:
some offset cones lead into some wider swings and some nicely offset cones again,all on a steep hill,which leads to burning urethane and some nice adrenaline rushes combined with some fricking speed,right at the first third of the hill,IF you make it clean to the bottom,expect
some 6 foot straight cones to get more speed(they are tricky to enter with the speed you have) running into some good offsets to make you work for your prizes.
no mercy from the wicked ones!!!!!!!!!
next up is the pro course.
what a nice way to start the season.

so i checked a few spots today-IF IT RAINS-and chances are good that we will pull off the race ANYWAY.
here's the lowdown:you WILL race on sunday-if not in oberkassel-then somewhere else.
we have a good and organized crew in düsseldorf and cologne and we will make it happen anyway.
there's enough cars around and hopping from one location to the next is pretty easy with a bunch of cool,motorized guys.
i scouted some locations in the nearby area today,some are under bridges or maybe in a huge factory,next to the bowl.ain't that scenic?
to the one guy who propagates on other forums that the race will be rained out:keep up your pessimistic spirits,we don't care and we don't see you racing either.
there's a big difference between keyboard-racing and real racing.
so put up or shut up.
