In the night from Saturday to Sunday was held close the season of street racing. Despite the frosty night and a cold track, until the early hours at the airport Vnukovo were heard sounds of straining engines and the squeals of tires: stritreysery finally went "all the money." Gathering of participants and spectators held at the Kiev highway, the parking lot of one of the hypermarkets have gathered hundreds of motorists. On the track first left column of participants, followed by the organizers began to pull guests. The fare on the race for the spectators was 400 rubles per machine. For the money fans speed up all night enjoying the spectacular races powerful machines, as well as admiring the show program: fire show, dancing, Go-Go Girls and much more. The race consisted of a pair of races with the fixation of the results at a distance of 402.3 meters. First was held qualification, during which the majority of the registered participants dropped out, and the remaining sports cars competed among themselves for the battle space. Participants were divided into two classes - Race and Unlim. The first cars came with an estimated capacity of 300 liters. with. and the second - those with whom she had more than 450 liters. with. Although the type of drive for the division into classes has not been important, the organizers picked opponents with roughly the same capabilities. Registered previously passed on the track for free, and drive on trumped-up on race day had to fork out for 2000 rubles. Organized the closing of the season the club Drivedealers, its route is on the Bohr highway near the airport Vnukovo. The event was held with the support of Smotra.ru, through which arrived on the scene a considerable part of participants and spectators. A Dragtimes.info provided organizers telemetry Race America and other technical equipment. Telemetry shows the speed at the finish and time of the kvotermayla - on the scoreboard displayed the pure time of the car, without taking into account the reaction time. Many came to the race cars had become familiar to those who often hanging out at night to "see" (an observation deck and a neighborhood near the main building of Moscow State University). But were here and rare cars whose owners do not like to draw attention to themselves, they are almost impossible to see on the streets of Moscow. In the area of ??the participants on the track at highway Bohr collected millions of dollars: this amount would win, if you add up the cost of expensive luxury cars whose owners have come to see and be seen. Viewers could see rare supercars in action: not just flaunted at the booth somewhere in the Crocus-Expo, and drove at full speed, giving all that they are capable. The list of participants were somewhat Nissan GTR (with capacity of more than 800 hp..), Porsche Carrera, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Audi RS6, Jeep SRT8, MMC Lancer Evolution (one of which came the famous racer, presenter and instructor for extreme driving Mrs. Karenina ), Subaru Impreza WRX and many other "sports" by civilian cars. Speed ??at the finish line often exceeded 200 km / h and quarter mile time of the close to 10 seconds. Organizers have tried to ensure maximum safety of participants and spectators: lighted track was fenced off by iron strikers, who were forbidden to climb over, parking has been divided into two zones - one for the spectators machines, one for participants. Watch the races can be over the entire route, but most places were trump, of course, from the start. There large crowd gathered, and organizers often had prikrikivat on people that they were released starting zone. For those who have not managed to get closer to the start on the tunnel walls were withdrawn a large image from video cameras that show the situation at the start and finish. At the end of the route was on duty brigade "first aid", as well as readiness were two sets of professional firefighting. Eric Davidovich, creator of the project Smotra.ru: «I have ten years of doing the race, and for as long as this occupation gives me great pleasure. Otherwise, why would I froze there at 2 am? (Laughs.) The race started from the observation deck, with their founders were only a few enthusiasts. These people live in cars, they know Autoworld like the five fingers. Through our efforts, street racing have been recognized in Russia. I am very pleased to see the fruits of our joint labors. " At the close of the season came around 2500 spectators, and took part in 77 machines ranging from 300 to 850 liters. with. Almost all machines - civil, among which wormed several "writhings. It is a pity that this track - one of the few in Moscow, where more or less safe to hold the race, because the power of these machines is quite serious for the usual "pokatushek the streets." But there are alternatives for those who like speed is not - the official route in Tushino is not functioning as promised three years ago at the opening ceremony. But not all owners of powerful sports interesting competition at the professional level. Thus, for example, as Eric on his "golden» BMW M5 is a pleasure to hang out at night with friends and like-minded people. Apparently, even if the resume official weekly competition drag racing, street racers will still hold their street racing. Text: Olga Zabelkina. Photos: Olga Zabelkina.
