The Nats this year was hosted by Spydeberg Motorklub, at their brand new track with excellent facilities and service.

This is how the place looked like in april this year:

April 2007: There's no track or grass under that snow, just earth and stone. No rostrum, no pit area - no nothing!!!
And in july it was all there, amazing!!!

 

The proud mayer of Spydeberg officially opened the track. This is btw the home place of the WRC rally drivers
Henning and Petter Solberg. People from around here all have nitro in their blood! :-)

 

The mayer contratulates chairman of the club, Terje Holm, with a fantastic effort.

 

The local bank director handed Terje a nice check as well.

 

The main contributors behind these facilities got a good round of applause from the drivers!






The supersmooth & fantastic new track in Norway

 

Very solid rostroom with plenty of space for wide shouldered drivers! (most only have wide bellies though :-)

 


Indoor track during the winter, pit area during the summer - genious! And best of all: no mosquitos or polar bears inside! :-)

 

Full consentration before the start of the A final 1:8 TR. The guy in the blue shirt on the right,
Truls
Solberg, is a relative of the Solberg brothers! He also competes in 1:1 rallycross! And doing well!

 

Gentlemen! Start your engines! ...

 

First time norwegian champion Lars Haugen. A very well deserved result after hard effort over 20 years or so!
Last years winner ended second. And last years runner up ended third this time.

 

Local, young hotshot Adrian Berntsen was super fast in both qualifying and final with his Novarossi powered Kyosho,
and had built up a comfortable 3 lap lead. Behind him Ytternes and Haugen had a very good fight going on, swapping
positions. Adrian sadly crashed hard and had to retire. It was then Haugen who won the race after consistent, good
driving. We all know this youngster Adrian will be back with a vengence next year...

Before the start in the 200mm class

Top 3 in the Norwegian Championship 2007 for 200mm Track:

Nr. 1 Frank Andersen, Xray NT1 / Max

Nr. 2 Helge Johannesen, Xray NT1 / Max

Nr. 3 Georg Ellingsen, Xray NT1 / JP Racing

 

Top qualifyer Helge Johannesen was leading the final, but ran into problems. Good old Frank Andersen took the lead
and never looked back. The NT1 is doing very well in it's first season for sure! It also claimed the Nordic title in
Gothenburg this year thanks to danish Martin Christensen.

 

Thanks to the organizers for a fantastic event!
