Scandinavian Cal-Look Classic 2012

Thanks to Kalle and Laune family wagon I was able to attend SCC for the first time. At the first run the clutch was slipping through 3rd and 4th gear and I though that was it. On the second run it felt much better and finally on the third run I improved my best time to 11,23 @ 191,49km/h with 1.575 60ft. With better 60ft and faster shifting there is still room for improvement, now the car bogged a little at start even when I had 7200 rpm at launch. Really sticky track but no broken axles this time. 11.23 was also enough to win fastest NA/ street tyre class. Not a bad trip at all!

That's it for this year, I keep on driving the car on the street for a while and then start planning improvements for taking me into 10's.

Boxer Speed Day 2012

Boxer Speed Day at Alastaro was great and the track was very good. I improved my personal best to 11.47 @ 189km/h with really bad start, 1,67 60ft and shifting like grandma, so there must be more to it. Just need more practice. Still popped a little wheelie.

Bugrun Classic 2012

I can say no bad things about Tierp Arena. It sure is one of the best drag strips at the moment and it was well prepared for this weekend. There were lots of fast cars at the strip and you could have had as many runs as you liked. I didn't.

I managed only one run before breaking a driveshaft but everything was worth the trip. Suspension was working very well at least based on only one run. And a small wheelie is always nice.
