Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

It started to rain last night and the weather forecast said that it will rain all night and all this morning! The forecast have been a little to accurate the last couple of weeks!…

We ended up at spot 19 in the qualifying list and due to one car before us is loaded already we are second reserve but I decided yesterday that I’m not going to sit and wait again in the line up for the third day in a row so we are loading up instead!

Pro Mod was the first class out for the day at 09:20 (before the pre race ceremony) which is a big joke if you ask me, the clock is now 10:10 and it’s still raining!…

It’s going to be a fantastic day for the ones sitting here and waiting in the rain…

This is a really strange racing weekend!…

This might be the worst year since I started racing when it comes to bad luck and weather!

It’s still cloudy and pretty cold!… Let’s see what happens…

Car got happy with more aggressive first gear and ended up with a good 60ft of 0,9793! But a good 60ft is nothing if the car goes into shake after it!… Tricky conditions to test a car that never made a real pass when it’s cloudy, cold…

Getting closer, but I’m starting to get really frustrated now!….

Q4 in a while!

It looks like the weather is against us today also!…

But we are ready to make a pass when it’s time!

It might be lunch before tho…

Stay tuned!

And the camshaft is still ok!

After a couple of rain delays we finally got out second qualifying round at 20:00 this evening!

I’m getting closer to find a tuning window but I’m still way too low on power!… It’s a HUGE difference between a roots and a screw blower when it comes how much fuel you can give it or how much timing you can take out!… But I’m learning! 🙂 And I want a screw blower!! 😀

It’s been a long day of waiting today, again!… 🙂 First round got delayed due to a crash, what I heard the driver is ok but at the hospital!… 🙁

Then we got som rain, after that we rolled down for Q1 and we got some more rain in the line up… Made a pass and got some data!

Then it was time for the waiting game again!…

Then after a couple of hours delay again it was time for Q2! But… We got some rain again in the line up!

Sofi found a great hiding place in the rain! 🙂

A rainbow is not what you want to see when it’s time to make a pass!

We are ready for tomorrow with a new transmission to get some more wheel speed, and we have also put together one more trans so we can add even more ratio after the first pass because I’m pretty sure we need it!

After that we had some Taco Friday with grocery’s from ICA Gärdet! 🙂

The Vette is serviced and ready for Q3 tomorrow!

And now it’s time for some sleep!

After some rain delay in the line up we got a round that was enough to get some data to work from!

But after some adjustments in the drivers area after Norway I found out that it was even harder to see the tree when I’m in the right lane… So I did have a lot problems to see the pre stage and stage lamp and getting in to stage so I needed to listen to Micke when he went up on 2-step so I could do the same…. So the reaction time wasn’t that great! 🙂 But I held the pedal to the floor until 3 seconds out when I started to shake some so I was off the throttle!..

Well we got som data to work from at least!

The Vette is serviced and we got some food!

We will go out again really shortly against Gullan if the rain stays away!… We just got some drizzle!…
