Back home!

04:30, Monday morning and we are back at the shop after a really good weekend at Gardermoen Raceway! Can’t believe that we made 10 test passes this weekend, we made total 11 rounds last year… Thanks to the whole team for a fantastic weekend in Norway!! 😀

A couple of weeks ago I did some service job on the block, dad did service up the heads and did put our head short block together for the Vette with a new crank, rods and camshaft! 💪🏻🤠 After that I took it to Ludvika and Jörgen, Ludde and Moa did put the rest of the engine together and did put it back in the car again! 👌🏻😃

Season start is getting closer, in three weeks from today me and Jörgen will probably be at Santa Pod Raceway! 🇬🇧🥳

How awesome is that!!!?? 🤩🤩🤩

This past weekend was a good one! 🤩

Max will not be able to go with us to the races this year, that’s the first time in almost 13 years that will happen! 😳🥲 He will be missed for sure, but he will be back! ❤️

So, we needed someone to replace Max and that ended up with a new team member named Klas and he’s a part of Team Ludvika from now on! 😍

So this past weekend I did have some converter and converter drive school with him and Max did take care of the Lenco school! 🤓📚

The result after the weekend is 4 serviced Lenco Transmissions, Bruno Drive and Neal Chance Converter that are ready to go into the car! 💪🏻😎

Klas will be a great add to the team and he’s good at what he’s doing so I’m sure this will work out great! 😃

When we did spend some time at the ÅBM shop in Täby Jörgen, Ludde and Moa did put the motor together and back into the Vette in Ludvika! 🥳

Season start is getting closer, 3 weeks from now we will be in Malmö waiting to go on the ferry to Germany!

Stay tuned! 🤠

Today is a special day for a special friend of mine, it’s the World Parkinson’s Day today! 🧠

And Parkinson is the reason why I’m driving Jörgen Bergs Corvette 79 in Pro Modified! 🚙💨

I planned to announce our racing schedule today or “The Pro Mod Parkinson Tour In 2024” as I named it a couple of days ago! 😊 And then I did hear this morning, today is the World Parkinson Day! So what a great day to tell the world! 😃

As many know, Jörgen asked me in 2022 if I would like to help him finish the car and make a couple of test races with it, just for him to see it go down the track! And Parkinson is the reason he’s not driving it himself…. He cannot get his license because of it!… He was building his dream, it got delayed, he got sick during the time… 😪

I think it’s really sad, and things like this puts your mind in a different perspective. What if I got sick and could not do what I wanted the most!.. 🙄 We all complain about stuff but getting sick for real and not be able to do anything about it is on a level above everything else! 😕

Many think that I’m kind of getting paid to do this, that’s WAY wrong! It’s money and time involved like it was my own race car! I’m doing this for Jörgen! We in the team are doing this for Jörgen because we love him! 🥰 And I am honored that he wants to do this with us and trust me to drive his car!

Jörgen is one of the nicest and kindest persons I know, and that’s no matter how people treats him! He always does all he can to be the great guy he is! ❤️

So if you wanna help, do something that matters! Help the Parkinson Research Foundation and make a donation, so they can continue to work against this disease! 🙏🏻

We are also working on new shirt design with the Vette on, and we are going to donate money to the foundation for every shirt that we sell! 🤩 Hope that you are interested to support us support the foundation! 🤗

And the season is getting closer! 😅 We will be at Santa Pod Raceway in 5 weeks from today! 🥳

Let’s bring on The Pro Mod Parkinson Tour in 2024!!! 💪🏻😎

Ok, let’s do Scania truck work part 4! 💪🏻🤩

In the end of March Krille and Fredrik went to Ludvika to start assemble the truck again after sandblast and paint! 😃 Of course Jörgen was there too and I want to say thanks to Pontus and Klas for helping out! 😍🙏🏻

During the time I did some changes and finishing up things on the Vette that never was done when it was built!… 😑

Bänkt wasn’t there so it was a pretty peaceful weekend! 😁😘🧑🏻‍🦲

Thanks to Jörgen and everyone involved for making this happen! 🙏🏻❤️

Scania truck work part 3! 🥳

In the beginning of March it was finally time for sand blasting of the frame from the cabin and back and after that the chassis got some paint to keep it from start rusting again! 😁👌🏻🥳

Bänkt of course did his thing just like always, trying to keep everyone involved happy just like he always is! 👴🏻👍🏻😅

This is once again all possible thanks to Jörgen and he’s connections to get parts and help plus the help from whole team Ludvika! 🙏🏻❤️
