Bruno Heremans wins Liege Grand Prix

The Electroliege club has put on their Grand Prix for several years now in Liege, Belgium, and this year they spent much time and effort improving the track and putting in a challenging new lay-out for the annual race.  The dirt track featured several good sized jump sections this year.  Practice was Sunday April 29, and the race was Tuesday May 1, a holiday in Belgium. It rained Monday night and the track was super-slippery as Tuesday dawned.  Morning practice was non-existent, and there was just one qualifier.  In these conditions, the slightest mistake was truly costly, and X Factory’s Bruno ‘Elvo’ Heremans drove carefully to second on the grid, just three seconds behind the X-6 Squared of privateer and TQ Martin Vierin, but 5 seconds clear of third. The track began to dry as the triple-A mains began, but was still quite slippery.  Elvo pulled easily away from the field right from the start to take a 9 second win in A-1.  Same story in A-2 as Heremans sealed up the Grand Prix trophy with another 9-sec win.  Elvo also won A-3 to complete a dominating X Factory performance, TQ and all three mains.
