Take a tour here and see what happen 2002

03 09 01: Sorry for my silence but we had not time to write something here, but now its over we get the runner up (2) place in Nordic Drag racing Series and third (3) place in Swedish Drag Racing League. After  leading the hole season we lose it in the 2 last race to "Alands Pelle Eriksson" how took the 2 last win in Norway and Finland. We had the chance in the finals in Finland and we was so close to do it but a red-light in the second round stopped it so the different  was only 20 points one round !!!!!! .After some bad temper we understand that second place after a hole season with 78 other racers are very good and third place in "SDL" is not bad. What happens next season we don't now but perhaps a class change is possible but we see, check this site out, I promise I will write some when I now and some more pics are coming stay tone.

03 07 28: Time to go to Viedec Nitro  National's in Mantorp Park in Sweden. With lot of racing the first day we get the second place in quall with  9.002 and was near the first place with a 9.899. The rain stopped more race on Friday so the it's was a very boring time to go and do nothing. The mechanic L-Å Bengtson said that drag racing  when it's raining is equal that look at paint when it's drying.

On Saturday we get Martin Sjöström in the first quall and win with 9.909 against his 9.904 but with a better reac. Next one was Øyvind Marheim 9.962 against his 9.940 but again with a better reac but in the third round I bite the dust and red lighted with 9 thousand of a second shi.........  After some ours of disappointment was it good any way I get more points and the overall seems not very far to win look here
