Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

She sounded happy! 🙂 Now a valve lash check and then a test pass!

And fix a air hose leak that started for some reason!..

We are here without any expectation at all this weekend, we are here to have some fun and get some rust off us and the Chevelle to get prepared for next season!

So we are building race car.

And cleaning race car so far! 🙂

Looking at making one pass today before 5 this afternoon so we got about 2 hours of waiting for you guys out there that wanna know how we do on the track! 😉

Sofi started to put the Chevelle back together during the time I’m in front of the computer trying to remember some stuff!… 😉

Now lunch and the do the last stuff on the car and warm it up! We are about to get noisy!! 🙂

The Chevelle is out and back on the ground on a race track again! 🙂

And the weather is awesome! 🙂

Track looks good and already in a ok temperature!

Drivers meeting!

The day is sponsored by Jonnie Lindberg Motorsports! 🙂

Good morning from a sunny, warm Friday morning at Hudik Raceway! 🙂

It’s time for some breakfast and then unload the Chevelle and get it ready for first round today. They start around 11:00 Swedish time and if I got it right we are able to roll up whenever we want and I look at making our first pass this afternoon when dad is here and we have made the last stuff on the car and trying to get back in race mode, 451 days from racing is a long time and I don’t want to do anything stupid! 🙂

Stay tuned! 🙂

Me and Sofi arrived at Hudik Raceway about 5 hours ago! And after that we started to arrange the pit area which was a little bit of a challenge on two people and on top of that I have never put the tents up because I always start to work on stuff around the car when we arrive to the track! Well thanks to Stefan and Victor from LL Racing for helping us out with the heavy stuff! 🙂 And tomorrow around lunch dad will arrive and Max will be here tomorrow evening so on Saturday everything will be back to normal again! 🙂

But we are pretty much done, the race car and kitchen will go out tomorrow morning after a good nights sleep! 🙂

But first I need to look at some stuff in the computer, I pretty much have forgot how the Racepak and MSD Grid icons looks like! 😉 Haha! But I sure look forward to tomorrow!! 🙂

Friday last week when I felt that the trailer was ready enough to leave the ÅBM Shop we (or maybe more I) decided that we are going to give it a try to go and make some test passes to get some spirit back after this shitty boring year… But that also did mean that we needed to check the condition on the Chevelle because it been standing un touched since I passed the finish line at Santa Pod Raceway May 28 2019!.. So Friday evening last week me and Sofi took the whole motor down in pieces and checked it all out and we could not find anything that was bad so that means now we MUST go testing! Saturday dad and Max spent the day in the shop and we did check the rest of the car and it was all good, so late Monday evening the car was back together again, trailer cleaned out and the Chevelle loaded I the trailer! And once again thanks to my love and my right hand Sofi that made this possible, she’s been in the shop for about the last 2 weeks helping me out on the evenings / nights and weekends when she’s not working with her ordinary day job! Feels good to have a person that supports you no matter what all the time (even that she got a little grumpy about staying in the shop when it was crazy good weather outside!… 🙁 Guess I need to make up for that later on! 😉

So soon we will be on the road to Hudik Raceway, I will be behind the steering wheel and Sofi behind the computer working!

And we did just celebrate with a shrimp sandwich that it is Thursday and we are going to a drag strip for the first time in 450 days!!!! 😉

But it’s sad that this testing is without spectators, I think that seeing all the people is a big part of racing! Really hope this Corona shit will be gone to next year!
