Pretty sure I’m gonna shake my ass off now in Q5 but I wanna try go fast! 😀

Stay tuned! 

Good light on the three, good 60ft and first full pass this weekend! 🙂

But I’m so low on power so it feels like I’m driving a brown Volvo station wagon with an automatic transmission….! 😉

Like I said, I’m gonna work on that three! 😀

Now a quick check!

I was pretty sure the motor would die when I did lower the power on it to this round but it worked better… little shake, off and back on quick and then a shake on shift so I let off and out early with the chutes…

Satisfied with the 60ft and the reaction time at least! 🙂

Some service and then back on it!

Bjorn the Bankrobber is hear stealing some air, guess it smells bad in the Bankrobber pit area! 😉

But first of all, LUNCH!!!!

Fucked up on the three…. we were both in stage but Erik bumped out and in a couple of times when he went up on launch rpm and I did let off the button because I was already standing too long on the 2-step……

Really don’t know if it’s ok what happened in the right lane…. Is it ok to go in and out a couple of times in stage?? And no one here at the track can tell me what’s wrong or right…

Getting her ready for next round…

One more perfect day here at Pite Dragway! We are about to warm up the car and then go out on our second qualifying pass at 11:00 1.5 hour from now!

Warm, blue sky and sun! Love it!

Breakfast time together with our favorite boy Martin Westerlund! 🙂

The track crew did cancel the last round today due to cold track conditions… Well, it’s a new day tomorrow, we got 4 more qualifying rounds on the schedule, 11:00, 1:30, 4:00 and 6:30!

She is ready for tomorrow’s first pass!

We got a crazy Skauone Påg from Bankrobber over here in our tent polishing the Chevelle! 

I’m pretty sure I will end up meeting Victor Jansson in Victera Racing sometime during the elimination this weekend so I need to start working for real on my reaction time…. made a 0.020 light this round so I’m pretty satisfied with that, then a 1,006 to 60ft! After that I got a little lose, started to get a bit to much wheel speed and the car moved around a bit and in to a tiny shake about 2.0s out and I was off at 2.3s with the Sundsvall track in my head… stupid now when I look at the graph because I would been able to drive trough it I think…. 

Well, I got a lot of time to find a new tune for the car, also they haven’t been racing in this track since we were here one year ago so it will be better to next round, I’m pretty sure about that!

Here in the front everything looks just fine! 🙂

Now when we got a lot of time to next round we took the opportunity to put on some new tires and break them in in Q2! 

Time to find that happy tune instead of that poop tune! 😉

Rolling down for Q1 in about 1 hour!

The weather is so good up here so we need to cool her down after the warm up! 😉 

Ridiculously good weather! 😀

But now, lunch! Meatballs and potatoes from ICA Gärdet / Stockholm Gourmet!
