Contact Point


Werner Sprenger eases up to the push bar and when the starter gives him the sign he begins to push the Goldenhawk. The engine is running and the crew has it warmed up in the starting line, however the reason we push it until we reach a certain speed is because we don't have a torque converter or clutch, therefore it must be moving before the driver hits the air shifter to engage the drive. This is usually around 50 - 80 KM or 30- 50mph.
