Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

Leaving Tierp Arena right now! See you in about four weeks again on the second race in the Scandinavian Top Doorslammer Series!

   
   

We are loading everything right now and will soon be heading home to the shop!

   
   

It’s too cold here today so they can’t make the track good enough for us to race on… 🙁

The weather forecast for today said rain, and 06:00 this morning when I was looked out it was all wet outside but no rain, and around 08:00 it was raining again… Right now it’s not raining but it is really cold and cloudy…

They say that if it still rains around 1-2 this afternoon the will cancel this test day, but until then they working on the track to make it ready for us! 🙂

  
Wet wet… Yesterday this view looked much better..! 😉

  
Dark, cold, cloudy…

  
They are doing all they can to make a track for us to use! 🙂

  
Max are having some breakfast!.. 😀

last round we had some problems with the trans brake button when we started the car but Jocke fixed it really fast! 🙂 This rund we tried left track and we got no traction at all and blew the tires pretty much directly of the line again…

It have not been enough track here today for us but I am really satisfied anyway because we found some problems that we fixed now, we start to have a tune up on the car and I start to feel comfortable behind the wheel after 3 hits today! 😀

  
This weather ends this day of racing!

   

Time for some service!

 

Don’t know why but he is happy! 😉

 

Max are checking the Lenco.

 

Time for some BBQ!! Sara and Marcus are the chefs for today! 🙂

  

Thor was my best supporter today!! 😀

  
Our sponsor Jari from Eltric was here today and made some burger lunch, awesome to have you here Jari!! Look forward to next time already!! 😀

Two test passes made, first one felt good but I fell off the hammer when I released the trans brake button…

Second round I blew the tires pretty much directly in the starting line…

Now some service, tuning changes and then out for test pass 3! 😀

   
     

Good morning from Tierp Arena!!! The sun is shining, we got a blue sky, it starts to get warmer they are working on the track and it looks like it will be ready really soon!! 

   
   

Stay tuned!

We did arrive to the track around 15:00 and it for sure feels really good to be here again!  

   

I was really windy when we got here and during the time we put up our tent in started to rain some… Of course!

   
And just a little while after we got our pit space ready it started to rain really much, well at least it’s only Friday!… 🙂

   
     

 

As always we got LL-Racing just beside us! 😀

   

The Chevelle is unloaded and it is time to show the new injector hat! 😉

  

The new hat looks awesome on the car!!!
