Time to pack this up, will sum up the weekend later!

We have had a great time here at Dala Street Open! And I can really tell it was appreciated by everyone around here that we came to do some exhibition rounds!

Thanks to the Dala Street Open crew for doing this! 🙂


It’s time for the last exhibition round for today here at Dala Street Open, and also the last round in 2024 for Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing!


I know how to take the car down on mid 4.30, but that’s not what I’m here for! So I’m trying a bit too much here!…

Problem is that I need to take away so much power so the engine gets unhappy… We will go out for at least one more test round here in a hour or so! Let’s see if we can produce some numbers or not.


Planned times for our exhibition rounds today is 11, 2 and 4! But I’m not sure the track has enough temperature when it’s time for our first round at 11!

I will make a decision in a hour or so!

It’s soon time to wake her up! 🙂

Stay tuned!


We missed the last round today due to the rocker arm stud that snapped off during service! (Lucky us, that could have hurt the engine bad during the coming pass! Because it was an exhaust rocker arm!…)

That issue is solved! Once again thanks to Lasse Israelsson for letting us use the shop today when we needed a drill press to get the stud out!

So today when we were done early we did enjoy a pretty early dinner at a sunny and nice Dala Järna Raceway! Instead of working on the race car!

Good night sweetheart, it’s a new day tomorrow! 🙂


Found the limit on the track, and hit a shake!..

And we found a rocker arm stud that broke when we checked over the valve train after the round!

That’s why you ALWAYS check the motor after every round, good or bad!


Plan was to repeat the first round from last year but now with more power added, which means I need to take out even more power!

Succeeded with the mission, 4.33 to last years 4.34! But now with better 60ft!

Track is better than last year from the starting line to 330ft, still a bit loose from 330ft to 660ft! But I can see that we can go faster, but first some lunch and service of the car!


Today is the first day of this year’s Dala Street Open here at Dala Järna Raceway!

We are getting ready for the first exhibition round here at Dala Järna Raceway! I have a plan of making 2-3 rounds today, first one will be after 12:00 / lunch.

Let’s see if I can do a good combo with the data from 2023 together with the added power to this year!

It’s a bit cold here today, but the sun is up on the sky and helps us heating up the track!
