Classic Car Festival Sundsvall
Norrlands Hall & Kapell Festival 2011.
We have to wait to tomorrow.
We make the first try at 15:00 and everythin work good and 1,0 sec 60 foot.
The second run they want us to do after the final of Top dorslammer and that happen 17:30, and I go for a 1/8 the 60 foot 1,0 and 1/8 mile 3,91/200 mph and the run is clean and easy.
European Final 2011 Santa Pod
We have the Sundsvall Raceway's Track Chef with us in the truck on his first wisit at Santa Pod.
We meet Anders and Esbjorn at Stockholm and loading. Then we head out for Malmo and Nordo/Fin Link to catch the ferry to Trave tomorrow morning and after that drive to Dunkirke and Nortfolk Line the ferry to Dover.
Johnny, Micke, Anders, and Esbjorn arrive and we start to make the car ready for tomorrow.
And Bodie coming over from Neergards pit and start to make the fuel system ready with the slide and BDK valve, hi have to work with that to 2:30 at night to make ready for tomorrow.

It was a testrun and everythin feel good so I hold on but with the 1/8 the blower belt went away.
We take the motor apart in the pits and have to put in 2 liner and piston or else everyting okay.
And we are ready for tomorrow when we have 2 run 11.00 and 16.00.
Lucky it take some time before that was our time and that Neergard have a gear that fit the pump. But we have to grind one more gear in the pump to have it turn easy, and we was ready in time for line up at 2.30.
I have to do a easy run to see if the pump was okay. I rum close to 1000 feet and I run 5,74 237MPH on 1/4 mile.
But I forgot to put the computer on so Bodie was not happy we have to do the old way to read the run.
This time it looking good only that the fuel pump don't give right to less and 2 lash cap was broken.
The car is redy for the next run but that take some time and is sems to bee a night race.
The problem is they can only run to 9.00 and it take to long time with the Top Fuel who is in front of us so they cancel our run no when I was so close to make a run in dark "shit"!!
But we have one more qualify tomorrow.
No problem with the car and we make ready for the final after the Top Fuel have run.
We make some change on the clutch and fuel but we see that the Top Fuel car's having problem at the start line so when it our time it was the same feeling like on ice when I hit the throttle, maby we was to aggressive? Yes I think so.
