We just had a nice breakfast and are now preparing the car. Andreas is going to try to activate the 2-step for the first time for today’s first run. Let’s just hope the weather gets better, it doesn’t look very promising at the moment.
The weather is a lot better today and we are now doing the final adjustments and getting ready to this weekend’s first test pass.
Andreas and Tobias checking the Racepak logger.
Tobbe mounting the wheeliebars…
…and Crille adjusting the height.
Drying the laundry.
We have now arrived at a wet Kjula Dragway and practiced to mount the tent to the bus in pouring rain… Next on the schedule is to fully prepare the Chevelle for tomorrows activity.
ÅBM Racing’s own personal chef is preparing tonights meal.
Finally the heads are back on the engine
Done!
A lot of things to load in the bus.
The problem!! And the really bad thing is that we had it on all 8 cylinders…

Åke is making new spark plug threads.
A lot done but a lot left to do….
About midnight yesterday, the heads start to get done! 🙂
Looking really good!! 🙂
Ok now its friday morning and we hope to leave Täby and go to Kjula Dragway in about 7 hours.
Time to work!
The clutch and trans is all done and it is just some small stuff left to do, and then we got our cylinder heads…. We did find out that we had some problems with the spark plug threads and they need a lot of hours of machining, welding and more machining and because of too much to do in the shop i had to find someone else to help me with it so right now i dont know if we are going to Kjula Dragway this weekend but i really hope so…!!!
Well it looks like they are working! 🙂
Åke is checking the main bearings.
The bottom of the engine is done, now we just wait for the cylinder heads…
Tobbe is almost done with all the electric junk in the car…!
