Hi!

I’d like to inform that Baltic Open 2009 will be held in Finland. Dates for the competition will be on week 34 with racing on Thursday-Friday 20-21.8 and with after parties the weekend after (21-23.8). The German competition is at week 32 and Italy at week 36, so this puts Baltic Open just in between.

The location for the Baltic Open will be at Malmi karting track, which is approx. 25 km from our school. The official site for the track is at http://www.helsinginkartingrata.com/ and the layout of the track can be seen at http://www.helsinginkartingrat...malminratakuvamp.gif. Also check: Google maps satellite picture of the track and its surroundings.

The events that will be run are Acceleration, Autocross and Endurance. The track we're running at doesn't have the space for a skidpad, so we might arrange some kind of "superslalom" to give points for lateral performance. There will be no static events.

Hopefully many teams will attend when we get the exact date set. The event will be held in traditional Baltic Open fashion. We have usually had a small fee per person and no entry fee teams. We will take care of accommodation.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions.
