RE: Open Lithuanian/European Ice-Blokart Championship 2008

Greetings Matas,

Our congratulations from Japan in organizing your first great event. Congratulations to all Winners and all par-taking to make the event a great success.

I and I would estimate that 99% of the global blokart community would love to get out on some GOOD ICE (and dread the cold) !!!

Send more notice on your next event.

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Jimi

Subject: Open Lithuanian/European Ice-Blokart Championship 2008

Hallo there,

Lithuanian Ice-Blokart opens has finished! This proved to be a real European Ice-Blokarting Championship as less than a quarter of participants were lithuanians. 6 british, 4 dutch, 3 estonians and 4 lithuanians totaly 17 pilots were competing in 2 weight divisions. Lightweight division (<85 kg) comprised 11 participants and was divided into 2 subdivisions.

Saturday with 10-14 m/s wind had almost the ideal condition to ice-blokart. Heavyweight pilots had their all 8 heats on Saturday, because there was a drop in a wind forecasted for Sunday. Sunday morning 6 best pilots from 2 lightweights subdivisions met for the final races. 5 heats were carried out in very light winds (4-6 m/s).

The event was closed by the awards ceremony and the expectancy was expressed that the World Ice-Blokart Championship will be carried out in 2009 in the Baltics. Lithuanian capital Vilnius is going to be the Cultural Capital of the Europe in the Year 2009, so maybe Trakai will host the biggest Ice-Blokarting event?

1. Matas Mizgiris (Lithuania) 7 pts
