Yes, it is :D I'll try to follow them further this week in Bronnitsy - ZIL's will race again ;)
[QUOTE=pimento;780992]Wow, that is a lot of awesome. Thanks for sharing! The cargo section is called the tray by the way. :)[/QUOTE]
Thanks :) I'll fix that.
luv it :)
I'm always a fan of the most inappropriate motorsport :) The idea of racing a truck on track was silly enough, but to go and do it on dirt !
How long is the track ? How many corners ? How tight/open ?

I'm trying to find the info about the track. But it may appear that there is nothing on it in the net and I couldn't walk through the whole track yesterday - I observed it just partly. I'll post what I'll sum up.
The Buzharovo cross track have seen truck cross in 1998 for the first time. In 2001 it accepted a race within Russian Cup.
[U]And here is the info from the official sources.[/U]
The track is a curvy oval. Surface - graded sand/clay, in winter - snow (actually, during a weekend the track has been dug up so much that instead of snow it consisted of snow mixed with sand - absolutely brown, with an ice under this mix). Direction - anti-clockwise. Maximum different of heights - 5 meters. Starting zone is taken out of the main course and adjoins from the outside.
Though no info about length and curves number. But from what I've seen yesterday I've counted 9 curves now from my mind - they couldn't be seen all in one time - trees, hills and so on, you know...
[url=http://loadup.ru/video/view/?id=v55523f69]Видео "Гонки в Бужарово", автор: Vetal - LoadUp.Ru[/url] - here you can see a ZIL race in Buzharovo (gonna be 2007). This is not what we've done, that vid is not ready yet :p
Picture from the Google Map. Of course, they couldn't make it all visible...
EDIT: Pic from Yandex maps. Though a bit strange again - obviously not the configuration used yesterday.
Here comes the vid.

Please, note it's my first video ever, so obviously it's not perfect :)
It shows not Buzharovo track, but the one in Bronnitsy a week after (February, 9) - the second ZIL race in Moscow province this year. And sorry for my hands moved sometimes - I could hardly feel them :p The footage was shot by me, my friend and my sis. BTW, the track 2200 meters long was completed in qualification in about 2:29.
I know Matra will demand the track info again :p Well, tomorrow is another race in Bronnitsy (ZIL 130, UAZ 469, GAZ 51/52 and GAZ 53) and I'll try to take a shot of track layout.
P.S. I intently posted it here, not in video thread, to hear your, guys, comments ;)
