(openPR) - Frankfurt, March 12, 2007 - As it gets closer to the first Formula BMW race, Jackie Weiss needs to stay fit for her first Formula Season. One of her favorite things to do is karting, which she hasn´t done since July 2006. That's why she was desperate for an opportunity to drive a kart. Looking on Google where the nearest kart track from her living place in Friedberg is, she found the Indoor-Kart 2000 Race Center in Frankfurt (Bergen-Enkheim). The track looked good, and like a lot of fun! The crew was very friendly and helpful.
Jackie and her younger sister Desiree took the 5,5 HP Honda motors out for the first 20 minutes. After a little break they were back on the track together, for the next 20 minute session. While they were out on the track a group of 15 people came in to drive. It was a corporate event of the 'Betriebssport Gruppe Kart Sparkasse Darmstadt'. These guys come frequently together for just the fun of karting. So they seemed to be experienced and competitive. And with the luck on Jackie's side she and her sister Desiree were invited to join them on track.
It turned out that Andreas Wolf, Ralph Wendler, Frank Kuklik and Ralph S., Jörg Löffert, Arnd Weil, Andreas Beßler, Horst Weber, Thomas Wagner, Kai and Martin are not only experienced drivers, but also very, very competitive. Good for Jackie Weiss - now she got her "real race". In the 10 minutes of qualifying she was fighting with Ralph Wendler bumper on bumper and qualified 3rd place with 0.13sec behind him. Andreas Wolf got the pole with a best time of 56.25sec.
Than came the 20 minutes race with a standing start. Jackie had started well, Andreas and Ralph did a good job staying in front of her. Andreas dominated the race, followed by Jackie Weiss, Ralph finished third. They had a good battle and it was a very nice race for all of them.
After the race Jackie got congratulations from Andreas Wolf and Ralph Wendler, who also is the 1st chairman of the 1st Fanclub of Timo Glock ( www.glock-fanclub.de ). He promised Jackie Weiss that he will do her first Fanclub when she finished her first season of the Formula BMW Germany.
The next kart race will be on Saturday, March 24th, 2007 at the Indoor-Kart 2000 Race Center in Frankfurt Bergen-Enkheim. It is an Endurance race, starting at noon and finishing after 4 1/2 hours. Jackie will have her own team, which includes her younger sister Desiree. Organisator is 'karting-and-more.de', Petra and Rainer Lehner.
