EMMA

Danish Dynamite

Wow! A show like it should be and a party on highest level combined with the coolest people and cars from Europe. That is the conclusion to be done about the 2007 Eurofinals in Herning/Denmark. In the end of October EMMA invited the best of their nations to participate on the final challenge in skandinavias southest part, the city of Herning in Denmark, and 223 from 24 Nations came. At the "Messecenter" the biggest car exhibition of North Europe took place and EMMA was a major part of the show. With three Halls and more then 200 cars the EMMA participants and the sponsors presented the highest level of car entertainment in practise ever seen in the world. The main sponsors Pioneer, DLS and Alpine even had a couple of extreme installations to show off on their beautiful Team Areas. On more than 16 000 square meters EMMA organised all formatsand even the slalom in the racing section could have been done indoor inside the Arena.

Already on Wednesday noon the registration started and the first cars were allowed to enter the competition halls. The fairground company even organised a couple of high pressure watercleaners free of charge for the cleaning of the vehicles which had long distances to drive. The registration procedure lasted until Thursday evening and in the meantime the head judges arranged intensive briefings with the judges to prepare them for the hard challenge of judging the best of the best. in some categories it was neccessary to send two judge teams paralell becasue of having more than 25 participants. The best three cars the two groupswere judged the next day by an additional team.

Friday morning was the day of the truth and everybody was nervous. After the briefing the judges started immediately to listen the cars and look at their installations. The Experienced, Advanced and the ESPL competitors were the ones to compete. First time the whole ESPL measurement was done with a Computer based system from Ground Zero and it was done in Hall B which is an Arena used for concerts so plenty of space was available for the participants and also their enormous noise level didn´t effect the SQ and Multi Media in the other locations. For the ESPL cars it was the qualification for the final which took place on sunday at the same place. In Denmark the shows open very long on thursday and Friday so the EMMA teams didn´t have to hurry up and were able to do a very precise judgement to all cars.

Saturday morning the Master and Experts were scheduled to be in competition. A lot of the "old" guys found the way again to the Euros and so it was not astonishing that the distance between the top installations was not big. In the end everything was done until 19:00 in the evening and all guests, sponsors and of course the participants could take the bus to Crazy Daisy where the official EMMA Party was. The Discothek arranged a hughe buffet with local specialities to feed up their guest and this time there was no cheese on it according to the advise given before by Party organiser Peter Fuhrmann. In addition it was arranged before to have enough of the offical EMMA drink "Weissbeer". When the exlusivity ended at 23:00 and the regular guests were allowed to come in, the Disco was cooking already and only happy faces have been seen. Also the birthday of Henrik Jorgenson, one of the organisers of EMMA Denmark was taking care that hard drinks didn´t stop to be available. On Sunday morning some faces didn´t look that happy like the night before but everyone was talking about a great party.

On Sunday the best cars from the previous judgings have been judged again and with a delay of 40 minutes the ceremony started on the main stage. With around two hours it had almost the same lenghth like last Year in Bern but because of the great job the team did this time there were more happy faces to see even from not winners. As conclusion it is to say that a couple of more nations come closer together in the quality of their Sound and SPL Systems. In the former finals always team Germany was far away from the rest in numbers of trophies but this time things changed much, so congratulations to all and thanks to Astrid from Messe Herning, Henrik Larsen from EMMA Denmark and Carel Wolf for arranging all that Datas. A second thank goes to the Head Judges Alex Milyavski/Russia, Reinier Wolf/Netherlands, Wim Corten/Belgium and Alex Mühling/Germany as well as to the event director Roger Edvinsson from Sweden.

So thanks to all for that great event and see you next Year somwhere else in Europe
