And of course some drizzle! 😉
Great lunch from our partner Kaare and his company ICA Gärdet / Stockholm Gourmet, Swedish Meatballs and potato!
Track looks good, guess we will go out on our first pass in about 4-5 hours!
Just some simple service! 🙂
Corvelle? =D And rain…
Time for some breakfast here at Malmö Raceway, and then it’s time to spend some time on the Chevelle!..
A bit cold right now but that will change I hope, it’s still early in the morning..
Service time! 🙂
In our pit space at Malmö Raceway and I’m in front of the computer looking at some old stuff…
Right now it feels good to be here! 🙂
But it was a mess to get in to our pit space…. Really bad communication from the organizer / crew here at the track, I was told I could get into my pit space at 4:00 today but when we got here there was some kind of truck meet that caused problems for us… so instead of servicing the car and do what we was supposed to do it was a lot of arguing and a mess to build our pit, feels really stupid to get here after an awesome simple weekend on a NHRA race, what a huge difference and we are only 78 team total here!!… I was really looking forward to this and get here yesterday… But I got kind of sick and tired today (AGAIN) but I hope I will get the spirit back tomorrow again after some sleep!!….
Hope that the rest of this weekend will make me forget today!…
It’s finally time for the second outing for Sjödin Motorsport / ABM Racing in 2018! Me, Max, Dad and Sofi are right now heading south Sweden for Malmö Raceway and TD round 5 in the series! Going to be fun to see what I will be able to do with the performace on the Chevelle..!
What a weekend!!
Got back home to Sweden this morning after an awesome race weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy at the US Nationals! Really fun and kind of crazy weekend also! Gary Pritchett that just earned / updated his license and made his debut at US Nats behind the steering wheel this past weekend in Jonnie Lindberg’s world record setting TAFC and at the same time working on the clutch on Steve Torrence Top Fuel Dragster.
Jonnie Lindberg did of course tune the alcohol car and at the same time he drove Jim Heads Fuel Funny Car!
To make it even a little more interesting Gary’s wife Leah Pritchett was the back up girl and also during the event she was driving her DSR Top Fuel Dragster and Factory Stock Dodge Challenger that she also won!! The rest of the team was me, Lars Erik Lindberg and Christian Merlid that flew over from Sweden to service the car between rounds we made a good team I think, Gary was second to third qualifier all weekend and we got all way to the semi finals!
I did for sure have a good time and made some new friends! 🙂
Of course I needed to check out the coolest shop in Indy! 😉
But now I’m back to really, got some work to do in the shop and I also need to get the last things around the Chevelle and the trailer ready because early tomorrow morning me, Max and dad are leaving the shop and will head down south Sweden for TD round 5 at Malmö Raceway, time to try set som new personal bests! I hope to see y’all there this weekend! =D
