Welcome to ÅBM Racing

Top Doorslammer

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!

 

It started to rain around 11:00 and did not stop until 30 minutes ago, clock is now 15:00!

The crew are working on the track to make it ready, and when the sun comes out it heats pretty good and we have around 18 degrees Celsius at the moment and the pit area dries up pretty quick!

We are ready when it’s time, whenever it is! Haven’t heard anything yet from the track crew yet!

 

Good morning Friday from Gardermoen Raceway!

Above is todays schedule, planned times for us is 12:00, 14:30 and 17:00!

Stay tuned! 🙂

 

A soft Thursday at Gardermoen Raceway today! 🙂

Me and Sofi arrived at Jörgens shop on Tuesday evening and we loaded the Vette and some other stuff (in rain of course! 😉 ) After a pizza dinner!

Then yesterday morning me, Sofi and Bänkt started the rainy trip to Norway and Gardermoen Raceway!

Arrived at Gardermoen Raceway around 18:00 and started to unload and build our pit!

After that we had some great dinner made by Bänkts wife Babsan! 🙂

Today we have spent the day making some changes on the Vette and relax some!

Inspected and approved!

Jörgen and Katrin arrived a little while ago and now it’s time for some dinner made by Jörgens mother! 🙂

 

Me and Sofi are now leaving the ÅBM Shop and heading for Team Ludvika to load up the Corvette tonight and then start the trip to Gardermoen Raceway tomorrow morning!

This coming weekend is the first of three racing weekends in a row, we are starting with Gardermoen in Norway for some EDRS Pro Modified racing with the Vette to get it tuned in!

After that on Sunday back home to Ludvika and service the car and then go to Tierp Arena for some FIA Pro Modified racing on Wednesday with the Vette and start put down some real numbers with it!

Then on Sunday after Tierp we are going to Stockholm to pick up the Chevelle, then go to Ludvika unload both cars take out all the parts that I “borrowed” to the Vette from the Chevelle, load the Chevelle and then go to Vansbro and make it ready and put back all the parts in it at Dala-Järna Raceway and make it ready for Dala Street Open and the exhibition race that will end the 2023 season!

So a lot of work in the coming 3 weeks and hopefully A LOT of fun also! 🙂

We did warm up the Corvette Saturday last week after getting it repaired, serviced and made some updates on it after Tierp in June so we are really looking forward to continue where the camshaft broke at Tierp!

 

I have spend some time on the Chevelle in the ÅBM Shop and Team Ludvika have been working on the Vette in their shop!

Last weekend I felt it was time to get the Chevelle ready for the Dala-Järna exhibition race 19-20 of August!

So I checked through the motor, put it back together and then put it back in the car, and during the week I have done what I could to prepare it for Dala-Järna and the rest will be made at the track!

It might sound like it’s far away with almost 3 weeks but I have done something I never done before and put myself on the entry list for 3 races 3 weekends in a row!

And now after I put the Chevelle together as much as I can I need to go to Team Ludvika tomorrow, that by the way have made this year way easier for me so I can concentrate on other things I must do when it comes to the racing circus because Jörgen, Moa, Katrin, Ludde and Bänkt have been working on the Corvette to get it back together again so we can fire it up and do some small last stuff on it during this coming weekend, I’m not used to that things happens by it self like with the Corvette and that part of the team! 🙂

Then on Saturday or Sunday I will go home and pick up Sofi in Vansbro and then get back to Stockholm and organize the trailer.

Then next weekend we are going to Gardermoen in Norway for some EDRS Pro Modified racing with the Vette and get it tuned in!

After that home and service the car and then go to Tierp Arena for some FIA Pro Modified racing again with the Vette and start put down some real numbers with it!

Then to Stockholm and pick up the Chevelle and make it ready and put back all the parts from the Vette that I “borrowed” and go to Vansbro for Dala Street Open and the exhibition race, this is today my home track and my home motor club SHRA Vansbro – Äppelbo is one of the organizers so we will be there to make some noise just for fun and see if we can get the Chevelle down the track!

Right now due to too much work and preparations to make this possible it doesn’t feels so fun, but I know it will be when we arrive to a race track and all stuff if “done”

Hope to see you on some of the events with Jörgens Corvette and with the Chevelle during the coming 3 weeks!

Once again, thanks to all friends and partners that make this possible for us!
