| Once again Knut from Elefun invited us to come down and join the club race series that goes on in the south of Norway, same city as Elefun has their headquarter. It´s always nice to go to this club. All people are very positive, and they work together. Numbers of young drivers are also positive, and the feeling you get when you step inside is "welcome" First time we visited the club it was 2-3 drivers running Xray cars, we were a little shocked at this race, the number of Xray drivers at this race was now 16! |

| And the young guns were fast! It´s always a challenge to go to club races and layouts that the members have been running on for a while, but it´s also extremely fun, then the competition is harder and there is no room for mistakes. The track is not so big, but you get a small EOS feeling when you are here, since the layout, jump combos and the skill level is pretty much the same, and you need to go very fast to win, and mistake is very costly. So the club has done an amazing job! Same tires, so for us going there it was just to gear down one tooth on pinion and setup from EOS in Daun worked perfect. |

| Since the track was tight and there was no problem with time, it was 6 drivers in each group, and the same in finals. That meant 6 XRAY cars in A-main, Daniel took the win in all 3 finals and Gisle Brovig came second and Jaran Flaath came third. |

Many off the fastest drivers in Norway were here this time, so the level was good. The first round of the Norwegian Nats will be at this arena in April, that will be very nice. It´s nice to go to different tracks with different grip. It´s important to support the clubs that really try to do something positive for the sport. And it really shows and feels, when you go here, so this is a "must visit track" When you head south :) You can buy tires at track, and if you need something else Elefun shop is very close to the track.
