GP of Namur, Belgium.

Sunday, August 06, 2006

The GP of Namur is a classic event. The Grand Prix is held on a very unique location up on the Citadel that overlooks the city of Namur. If you come here during the rest of the year you won't find a track, simply because it's not there. Just for the occasion a track is designed and takes you through the park, up and down steep hills and the big parking lot that is in front of the Esplanade. One part of the track is a street that is filled with 4 feet of dirt. That section also had a bar where Hakan Carlqvist (grounder of our Swedish Carla Pro shop distributor) grabbed a beer on his way to a GP victory. This bar is now closed. If you want to know how rough the track is, ask Randy "Sully" Sullivan, he had sore muscles for two weeks after walking only one lap, that has ropes to help you get up some of the steep hills. Stefan Everts won his 99th GP this weekend and even better, he became ten-time world champion. Respect where respect is due.
