Saturday in Most Part 3 - Victory for local lad Lacko

30. August 2014Most - A 45-minute holdup earlier in the schedule had shrunk to 25 minutes when the second Saturday race kicked off. Rodrigues, meanwhile, had had to give up his 10th place because of a 30-second penalty, and so the final point for the day’s first race was awarded to Belgian Jean-Pierre Blaise.
Janiec had snagged pole with his eighth-place finish, and with Reinert alongside everybody feared the worst, especially after the chaotic starts earlier. In any case the handicap race, with the first eight finishers starting in reverse order, is usually a scrappier affair. But this time all the drivers – and their number included Steffi Halm, back after her accident in the afternoon, – were at their restrained best.
Janiec had the better start, Reinert falling behind Vršecký, Lacko, and Albacete by the end of the first lap. The Frenchman, by contrast, steadfastly defended his lead against the nominally more powerful pursuers. But then on the fifth lap Vršecký’s truck brushed Janiec’s as he attempted to overtake, losing both trucks a fair bit of momentum. That was invitation enough for Lacko and Albacete to shoot ahead into the lead. Reinert was now behind Vršecký and in front of Janiec, who proceeded to be overtaken by Hahn and Kiss and fall back into seventh, the position he finished the race in, followed by Körber, Blaise, und Vojtíšek.
There was little action up front, Lacko taking a clean win ahead of Albacete and Vršecký. Two Czechs on the podium was cause for loud jubilation among the fans. Hahn meanwhile got one up on teammate Reinert on the final lap to finish fourth. Kiss crossed the line sixth behind the Lusatian.
Buggyra (Vršecký / Lacko) were the team victors ahead of Reinert Adventure and Truck Sport Bernau.
Kiss, with 242 points, now leads the overall standings by one point from Albacete, followed by Hahn (231), Lacko (183), Bösiger (152), and Vršecký (150).
