During the Cup of the North came to fight for more than 70 participants. Spectators and pilots on their iron horses began to catch up to the route by 15 o'clock. Those who arrived earlier, were more fortunate - they had left their cars closer to the start area and participants. A queue of cars that arrived later or after the start of the race lined up in a couple of miles away. Since many registered members of the North Cup was held in the afternoon till dark, before the winner in all five classes. To the audience does not get hungry, the organizers took care of a summer cafe with fresh barbecue and tent with drinks and snacks. The pilots were very pleased with the quality of the route - it is very smooth and wide, and the audience appreciated the convenience of locations to monitor - is located high above the road bridge, with a beautiful view on the road. All this took place under the loud music from speakers specially brought that jammed on the time of arrival to avoid distracting pilots.

As you know, illegal races cause dissatisfaction of citizens because of the danger to the public. Still, not all clubs opened the season, but already there were the first victims of this summer - in Kharkov drunk driver ran into a crowd of spectators. And, unfortunately, this is not the only case in drag racing. Therefore, a separate organization would like to mention racing club Hotkovo Racing »- its leaders have agreed to cooperate with the local traffic police officers, doctors and firemen (on the track of an event followed by three traffic police cars and one ambulance and fire service). By the way, thanks to vigilance cops on the spot were deprived of two drivers who came to the race in a state of intoxication, since all participants were tested for alcohol (at the entrance, and before each start). Attendance was separated from the road stretched tape, but by the middle of the race broke her lovers to shoot arrivals to a mobile phone or digital camera. Organizers said this defect, and promised in future to fix it, but for now let's start only after all the spectators fell back from the roadway. Start the participants gave a special light, which uses the standard system drag racing - red, two yellow and one green. Before the start of the race every driver when appropriate, can warm up the rubber.

Arrived at the race drivers with support from Khotkovo, Sergiev Posad, Moscow, Dmitrov, Sofrino, Troitsk, Pushkin and other areas. Accounted for the bulk of domestic production cars - vases of different models (mentioned in each class, including 5-nd), charged Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Audi, Opel, Toyota, Honda, etc. The competition was very tough at times - which cost the race "Eight to the Toyota Supra in 4 class or competition" Korca "based on the VAZ-2108 with Subaru in grade 5. The first pilots competed in the Class 1 cars, which were about 30 people. Competition between them lasted more than two hours, during which time determined by the outgoing, drafted new pair - and so until then, until there were three winners. Arrivals of the first class were delayed because of the large number of people willing to show the power of your car, at the end of their competition a little people scattered along the route, some danced to the music, someone eating in a cafe, someone photographed the sports car and it appears that them under the hood. Competitions Cup Class 2 gave new strength to the spectators gathered again near the road and the bridge, loudly rooting for the pilots. In this class of arrivals was less than half than in the 1-m, so 2 and 3, the class went on a single breath for both organizers and participants. To not let go of this state, the spectators, the organizers decided to swap the races 4 and 5 class. This step has been caused by the extra safety - Grade 5 is more powerful machines, so the race between them, decided to spend before the 4 th in time to dusk. However, this angered the pilots grade 4, because the power of their machines is around 200 hp. with. and above. Races of the last two classes were pretty fast, since the number of participants in each did not exceed ten cars. Last race was held in the dark, rewarding the winners of Class 4 was rather heated - all were happy and tired. Touched by the traffic police rushed to the runner-up Maxim in Moscow on VAZ-2108, congratulated him and gleefully noted: "That's eight to go!" So he was impressed that the first Maxim overtook the Toyota Supra, and then with a lag of half a length lost the first Ivan Kluskina place for Audi A4.
