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!
It’s Friday morning with an awesome weather and we will go out on our first qualifying round at 3:00 this afternoon 5 hours from now, second will be late at 19:30 so it will be a long day here. Yesterday we had a soft evening, did eat good and spent some time on the car doing some small service and adjustments for the coming weekend. 🙂
Good morning world, and she is ready for warm up!
Crazy good weather here today this morning! 😀
I found a little thing in the computer during the week at Gubbis that might be a part of the problem why I couldn’t get the car down the track at Sundsvall Raceway, yes the track was pretty shitty and goofy but still you should always be able to get the car down on a slow time instead…. gonna be fun to see if the thing I found will do any change on how the car reacts down the track today!
Checked the bottom end and everything looks just fine!
I did some updates on the fuel pump, our little Chevy likes a lot of fuel! 😉
One funny thing here up north in Sweden is that it never gets really dark, kind of strange for people that never visited this place earlier, you gets pretty messed up in your head because you don’t know / or can really see what time it is during the evening and night. 🙂
We did arrive about 2 hours ago to the track here at Pite Dragway, me, Max and Patrik have unloaded the all the stuff and built out pit, now it’s time for some service of the Chevelle and make her ready for tomorrow’s first qualifying pass at 3 in the afternoon. We are not in a hurry to get things done but it feels good to have everything under control also! 🙂
Done one more time with out pit space here at Pite Dragway!
And out with everything again! 🙂
Our closest neighbors are the Bankrobber Team (the Skaoune guys)
Time for some service!
But first some hot dogs together with the Bankrobber’s.
My driving suit starts to smell so bad so I’m trying to get some help from the fresh air to clean it a bit, hopefully it will be a little better 😉
And of course a cold beer in the sunny weather! 😀
