At Saturday 7 Juni 2014, the airfield of Meinerzhagen in Germany was all about the event Rolling 50, organized by the SCC500 club. This club with a lot of young members is quite new and they're aiming to organize multiple events every year where several exclusive and fast cars gather and make some sprints on the runway!
It was quite a warm and tiring day, but luckily there was enough to drink and eat. The cars were seperated in two groups based on the power of the cars. Group 1 was the first to start and after all cars did some sprints, it was time for the second group. The cars with a speed of 50 kph for 100 meters, after which they floor the pedal for a sprint over 300 meters. The runway was up to 1,2 kilometers long so the cars had room enough to calm down after their runs. This drag race was one of the three contests during the day. The second contest was a sound contest. The name already tells you enough. This contest was all about the loudest car. The final contest was about show and shine. The jury takes a look at the interior and exterior of the car and the most beautiful car wins.
Among the competitors was a club of cars with Capristo exhausts including several Audi R8s and a beautiful red Ferrari 458 Speciale. BMW was also represented with several M models. Next to these cars there were several AMG models, a few fast Nissan GT-Rs and an Opel Kadett E producing more than 600 hp. The Opel made it quite hard for some cars during the sprints.
At Sunday 13 July, the next event will be organized and this day will be all about sports cars which standard produce more than 500 hp!
