Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

I’m starting to know what the car wants! It moved around so I got the chutes out early and off the pedal at 5.15 seconds, but it ended up with the first 6 second pass with the Vette, 6.32 to the 1/4 mile! That felt good!!!! 🙂

But it was a bumpy ride in the shut down area!

But it’s fixed now!

And we are out in the lanes now for Q3 after some changes to the car!

Stay tuned!

Well, we just got the order that we will be called to make a pass at 3:00!…

So instead!

A bit messy day today, time flies and we did not get the number of rounds I hoped for today!..

But pretty ok day anyway after all! 🙂

First round the car shaked really early in the round so I aborted it!

Next I at least manage to shift to second gear! A bit surprised over how the car worked and I shifted way too early and went into a shake…

4.21 is a personal best I think! :). Hahaha!… But we are getting closer to figure out the car, and find out what it wants!

But I’m / we are pretty happy anyway with the day, and look forward to tomorrow now with some good data on the car to start work from!

The people here at the Pod really likes the Vette! 🙂

Now some service!

Change transmission!

And food!

The Vette is ready after last nights “team warm up” rebuilding the engine! 🙂

We will get some lunch and then make a first soft test hit here pretty soon!

It’s Friday and time for The Doorslammers! We got open testing from 9:30 to 4:30 today before the late night qualifying starts at 5:30!

I’m looking at getting 2 test hits and we will probably go out after lunch around 1:00 today for the first soft test just to get some early numbers on the car to see if the changes I made on it is done in the right direction!

Today we got some sun, instead of the rain we got pretty much all day yesterday! 🙂

It’s time for breakfast!

Yesterday the rest of the team arrived from Sweden, and we started directly to prepare some stuff for the weekend!

Then we found a little issue in the warm up that we had to fix, we can call it “practice work” 😉

But she is back together again and soon time to warm her up!

Stay tuned!

Me and Daniel did finally arrive at Santa Pod Raceway in England at 7 this morning after a 44-ish hour long trip through Europe from the ÅBM shop!

And I want to say a special thanks to Neale at Santa Pod for all the help with the customs papers that we needed because of Brexit! It went so smoothly both at the French border and then here at the border / customs in The UK! Would not been possible without the help from Neale! 😀

After that we got about 2.5 hours of sleep and then did roll into the track and started to set up our pit area and get things ready for the weekend!

After we got the pit area done we unloaded the Vette! And did put her on English soil for the first time!

After that Daniel started to finish up som small stuff and I did start to clean out the mess in the trailer! 🙂

Then she got her new pajamas on!

Preparations for the coming weekend will continue now for a couple of hours and then tomorrow so we will be ready for the Doorlammers race that starts on Friday!

Stay tuned!
