Yet another Nitrolympx at Hockenheim is ended... The whole trip has been sided whit disaster,, At first the chevy pulling our goosneck broke down, then a flatt on the trailer, then a broken hose to the radiater in the dodge pulling Vics dragster. And at last we were pulled over by the polizei.. and realised that the laws on motorhomes isnt the same in germany as sweden, so Jimmy wasnt alowed to continue whit his bus.
Finaly we got to the track and build pitspace, in light rain. The 69-Camaro went trough the tech inspection, but not the dragster,,, the diper and gearbox-shield was back home in denmark. Tanks to PE Lindgren and Muller for lending us these.
Victoria lost fire in first round.. and in the next only a 9.04... and finaly on saturday she drove a 9.02 and manage to get the bump.. (qual 16). in first round at saturday evening she redlighted whit a 0.002 and was out.
Johnny drove 6.90 in first round then a shutoff in the 2nd. In third round the left rear caliper broke in the burnout and when johnny backed he hade no brakes, when his Crewcheif found oil on the track it was already to late and a few seconds later johnny backed in to Micke Lindahl, who stormed into Maurischat. Ofcourse as everybody anderstand this was an accident, and Johnny was NOT abel to do ANYTHING. We drive whit a lenco and bruno-converter, so we cant get the Camaro out of gear until it is standing still. And shut of the engine didnt helpt.
We are ofcourse very sorry about what happened, and are glad that no personal injuries accured. We are sad four our friends that their cars got damaged, but gladely we could se lindahl on the trac an hour later! And some of the members of Andy Robinsons team was hardworking in Marcos pit.
Johnny Camaro was not ready for the fourt and final qualification round, but was still qualified as 15, but on saturday afternoon Johnny, Marcus, Victoria, And Peter got sic in the flu... so he didnt drove the first round, at suterday evening. Whitch shold have been against Mats Eriksson,, who drove 6.096 and a new European RECORD. Congratulations to the whole team from us in SandRacing.
On sunday we saw some racing and then packed up and head for home... and our tripp ended in helsingor, Denmark on monday afternoon.

Another Veidec Festival has passed. This was the first "real" event for Victoria,, and she sure showed that she´s to count on. Qual 6 of sume 32 cars, at 8,93... Good dune. Then shut off by starter in first round due to a leaking watergasket.
For Johnny it went worse. Due to a terribal accident where his wife were kicked by a horse, he came up late thursday and missed first two (of tree) qualifikation rounds. Even so he maneged to get qualified at 6,81 (in competition) at an 7,27 index. Due to tireshake he lost first round to Petri Nagy... and the weekend was over.

A very nice and hot weekend at Meca Raceway is now ended. Due to ignition problems, and lac of spearparts the ProMod Camaro couldnt get out on the trac, so we all put our work into the SuperComp Dragster. This was Victorias first competiton, and the weekend is all about testing the car and learn about the trottlestop.
Victoria had 5,72 as best qulifikationtime, and a reaction at 0,001 sek, whit pro-three!!! So she showed everyone that she is capable to give enyone a good fight. Whit reactions like that nobody stand a chance.
Sadly she was the onlyone in the SC class, so only soloruns, but we made som good tests, and is all sadisfied anyway.
Congrats to Marina Andersson, Anette Birkenes and Christine Gaustad who all won their classes...
Special thanks to FotoFyn.dk for letting us use their fotos for our webpage.

Just got home from Thisted raceway, Denmark. We went there for Victoria to make her last runs on her license, but the examinator didnt show... Recived the information from DAZU that she can run on a "one-day" licens, and so we did. Everything went real good! Sadly after only 4 runs, someone blow their engine and laid down 1200 meters of oil on the trac, the norweigan rescue-team from Thunder valle, did their best and cleand 1000 meters, for three hours, and then they realised that they was´nt able to make it... good effert tho, good work guys! Then they have to shut down for this time... might also be a weatherproblem, rain was hanging just above us, and the wind was pretty stormy.
On victorias last run she went just below 9 sec, and 268 km/h!!! Just guess if she was happy. Johnny, you have to look out -the seat of the ProMod Camaro might be taken over in two years...

The weekend started whit trouble, and it came threeways. at first Nicholaj couldn´t come along due to his work, then we had a flatt tire on the trailer, just as we entered Norway. And on friday morning we hade two NOS hoses blownig, emptying two whole buttles.
But the rest of the weekend was al good... Good weather gave us four testruns on saturday, and we ended as qualification #1. On thees four runs we manage to get the car to run good and steady and all things that was rebilded during the winter is working properly. Sadly we broke the wheeliebars, but got them welded together again. Thanks to the guys at Olstad DragBike Team.

The Test n Tune weekend at Meca Raceway is now ended. We went there so Victoria could make her first testruns whit her new car, and hopefully take her licens. Unluckely some parts to the car is still stuck in a container at the customs. So the friday night was spent on making the car run whit what we got. On saturday we manage to make 4 runs, then the intake gasket didnt wanted to cooperate no more... We seperated the engine and during the night we went to denmark to pick up a new gasket. Early sunday morning we put the engine together again, and it now runs like a clockwork! -But we sadly broke the gearbox instead. Due to a nasty crash on the track we desided to head for home, and make the last testruns at Gardermoen 6-7 june. The powerglide gearbox was delivered to Växellådsverkstaden Linelund, for repairing. We thanks Nicklas Trenneman for his support on a late sundayafternoon. We will also thanks Jimmy Andersson for his support during the weekend.
And at last we also want to pay our regards to Mattias Wulcan whit family, and hope he get well soon, and will come back to the tracks.
