Included amongst them, the sympathetic Amsterdammer Dave van Zon, with the submission of the performances of his "Joop" he knew that he would be among the contenders. He eventually turned out as the 1° National Ace pigeon in the category Sprint.
Over the last few years Dave van Zon has belonged to the real toppers in North-Holland. He has achieved something unique every year for the last four years:
2007 1°NPO Bourges against 8.593 pigeons 2008 1°NPO Chateauroux against 5.491 pigeons 2009 1°NPO Bourges against 6.819 pigeons 2010 1°Nationale Ace pigeon Sprint W.H.Z.B.
The best performances of the NL 08-1349377 alias “Joop” are:
Morlincourt 1/16454 Chimay 1/ 3366 Nanteuil 1/ 1219 Meer 1/ 855 Strombeek 2/ 4471 Chimay 7/ 4249 Chimay 8/ 4505 Peronne 11/ 1032 Nijvel 19/ 1022 Morlincourt 24/ 2581 Nanteuil 27/ 8293 Nijvel 32/ 2982 Nijvel 33/ 4101

Finally
For the last few years Dave van Zon has also been successful in the 1-day long distance races. After having a 1st NPO victory for 3 years in a row, and now the consecutive 1st National Ace pigeon Sprint W.H.Z.B., we are very curious as to what Dave van Zon will achieve in the next racing year 2011……
