RICHARZZZ NEWS

yesterday, we did the first turn out on the airbase in eisenach-kindel. thank's to the team around "klaus", they did great job with lots of spectators and very professional strip action.

the new tranny looks perfect of close ratio, the axles looks like heavy duty, also - but the traction was no good. cold strip-temperature, no trackbit, no smoked rubber from frontwheelers.

we did the first run carefully in set up, high pressured tires, no burn out, low launch revs, low shift points (400 rpm less as normally). the car get fast spinning wheels at launching, wheel spins in the second gear, also but very high punch in the third and fourth gear. as i shift from 3rd to 4th, i heard a heavy noise from the motor, so i lift the throotle and push the clutch. at the end, there's a 12,9 on the slip - bad time, no worry.

the noise was the result of an broken carburator linkage on left side, so just the right carb opened the throotle at the end of the run. so it looks like perfect for new high scores this year if the linkage is new constucted and produced, closed.
thank's markus and benni for the good work and spending their time last sunday - greate teamwork, guys.



benni leave the richarzzz team for this saison, cause he went to usa/oregon on following thursday to do some practice expiriences in the top fuel team of the oregon state university. we wish him good luck, a lot of fun in the nhra-scene. take care and come back, soon!
