Trofisty almost burned down the forest

Over the weekend, 25 and 26 October, in the vicinity of children's camp "Young Geologist" took the trophy close-season, which is crowned by a race called the "Day of the driver. Its track. " The final, fourth stage of the championship trophy-raid organized by the Tyumen off-road club, was to determine the victors of the season in their respective classes - the "standard", "extreme" and "sport". The fight for the prize was a very sharp and exciting. Try your luck in ravines and creeks, sip a hefty shot of adrenaline together athletes from Tyumen, Kurgan, Surgut, Omsk, New Urengoy. Many arrived with families, so that the situation in the camp at times reigned just domestic. Phase consisted of three special stages. At the SU-1 to overcome the obstacle on the short track. However, the organizers the day before the start faced with - careers, where to spend the first part of the race, local workers leveled before the arrival of the state commission. As a result, instead of the Trial came the rally. However, and this route was too serious challenge for some participants. On a seemingly smooth surface was found a couple of boggy places, where dwelt a few cars. It is curious that among the victims who have not been able to get their way, were only "Niva-Chevrolet." We can say that the old argument, what the "Niva" cooler - "Chevrolet" or "real, with round headlights," race has once again decided in favor of traditional Russian version. The first track crew overcame Alexey Ushakov. Pilot "Niva" immediately after the finish has admitted that the main thing was never slow down, keep the car at speeds in the most viscous parts. SU-2 - GPS-orientation - started at noon. It consisted of almost 50 checkpoints scattered from Chervishevskogo path to the river Pyshma in the health camps and divided by the level of complexity into three categories. For participants in the class of "standard" is not going to set off the points with a maximum rate of 900, for the remaining constraints were not. It was important only true "score" coordinate and strategically well-calculated route, the road to collect as much as possible the most "expensive" manual. As the organizers warned another prelaunch briefing, all the points in the allotted time to gather, it was unrealistic. I had to finish in the camp "Young Geologist" to 22:30, in case of late special stage does not count. Not everyone got to base camp on wheels. One of the crew in general was almost blown up in full force: the guys on the run caught fire in the engine compartment, which they saw only drove up to one of the KP. With some difficulty raising the hood started melting, they put out the flames, pre-cut into two hoses leading to the fuel tank and fuel tank dropping away from the car. Skillful and swift action racers could have saved their lives and health. It's no secret that this type of racing is very dangerous. Therefore, the experience and ability to behave in emergency situations depends on many things. UAZ had to throw up in the morning in the woods. The gallant crew in the dark in his way on foot finish. Among the other participants at someone broke down the wheel, someone decided to cut off and stuck in the swamp, someone got into a rut with a jammed winch and had to wait, that will pass by one of his colleagues and rivals, and will not leave his comrades in the lurch. Renovating on the fly, pulling and pushing each other out of the ditch, the bulk of the crews still runs out of time standard. Thanks to the care of the organizers of the participants did not have to spend the night in tents - trofisty settled to rest in one of the buildings, "Young Geologist," getting to the same nutritious food at a local cafeteria. Funny trofisty gathered for dinner, at which the director of the Tyumen-road club, Konstantin Mikhailov, congratulated everyone on the Day of the driver and the closing of the season, filling all the well-deserved "50 Grams". In the remaining time until the morning the athletes had to recover and put in order the get a good load of cars to show good results for SU-3. At 8 o'clock on Sunday launched the final stage of the race - the orientation of the legend. In the shortest time needed to take nine KP signs in the legend. Results had to overcome 15 kilometers. Closer to the dinner organizers summed up and winners were awarded valuable gifts and diplomas. In conclusion, thanked the guests from the Mound welcoming Tyumentsev very neat implementation of the accordion folk songs. Season is closed. And already start to prepare mentally for the winter starts.
