This weekend did not turn out as we planned!.. Race report will come tomorrow.

It’s 1 hour after midnight and me and Sofi arrived at Jörgen shop in Ludvika a while ago after a 7.5 hour trip from Gardermoen that went really good even that it ended with rain, lightnings and thunder storms so bad it was hard to even see the road!


We will go out first against Terje Håkonsen, it’s pretty cold…. Let’s see if the track will take what I give to the car!…


Good morning Sunday from a cold (12 degrees Celsius) and wet Gardermoen Raceway!..

It’s race day here at Gardermoen, we will go out for first round around 11, but I haven’t heard it from the track crew!… Must say that the communication and information from the track crew to us teams have been really bad this weekend!

The weather forecast says not rain at least, but the track is wet right now and the clock is 9:00, it’s cloudy and cold so it will be interesting to see how this day will turn out!…

The Vette is ready to warm up!

And we just got some breakfast from our partner ICA Gärdet! 🙂


That’s is for today, we were called out for Q3 at 17:00.

We warmed up the car, I had my driving suit on and some other classes started to make passes and then it started to rain again!…

So they called it for today and I understand why because they have been working their buts off all day trying to make a track for us!

And now it started to rain heavy and we got some thunder and lighting going here now!

Well, it’s a new day tomorrow! 🙂


It’s Saturday and it’s been raining pretty much all day back and forward… Rain, stops, sun, rain, heavy rain, sun, more rain…. That’s how our day have been so far and the clock is soon 16:00!

No car have made a pass today, it’s not raining right now and the sun is out at the moment and heats pretty good, the crew are working on getting the track dry and ready for the teams here at Gardermoen Raceway!

And now it looks like it’s time!

Woke up around 5 this morning to heavy rain on the trailer roof!…

Around 9-10 the weather started to clear up and the crew was working on the track and the pit area started to get dry spots! But it was still cloudy and cold and we could feel the rain hanging above us!…

Then around 11 it started to rain lightly and went over to heavy rain to make sure to get everything really wet!… It still rains some and right now it once again went over to heavy rain!…

So far the weather forecast have been all correct!… If this continues this will be a loooong day of waiting it the pit!

I decided to do some changes to the fuel system to add some power and also even up the cylinder fuel distribution to make the motor happier! Hope we will be able to test it today but I do not think so, and if we get a chance I’m pretty sure that the track will be too cold to do what I want anyway!…

But the Vette is ready to warm up and make a pass, if we get a chance!

At least we have food and snacks to make the day better from our friends at ICA Gärdet! 🙂


Not much of a day to remember today when it comes to racing!…

I’m still way too low on power but I also want to be on the safe side with Jörgens motor! But I’m on to something! First round the track was way better than expected and the car had no wheel speed, in the second round the regulator on the Co2 bottle went loose… But the changes I made between Q1 and Q2 made the car go further out on the track and with a decent 60ft!

First round was a messy one… Bad communication from the track crew together with me doing a bad job as a driver!…

Pic below is to me for sure!

Så back on it tomorrow if we get a chance, the weather forecast does not look too good!…

Car is happy and ready for next round we get!

Everyone is happy around the dinner table! 🙂


Ok, let’s do this again!


Time for Q1 now!
