Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing

Blew the tires right of the line – but still number one qualifier.

The car before us broke in the burnout and now it seems to be oil on the track. So we’re on hold for a minor clean up

Getting ready for Q3! Lets see if we can improve that .89

TD round 2 at Tierp Arena coming up this weekend!

Race car is pretty much all done except for some small adjustments and that I really don’t know if the parts we got issues with in Malmö are fixed for real… We will find out Thursday in the first qualifying pass, I can tell you that I’m gonna get pretty angry if I still have the same problem and if I need to take care of it for real with the manufacturer… Really wanna go and kick some butts instead of making just one pass and figuring out it’s over for the weekend for us… 

The schedule I got so far for qualifying is Thursday 10:00 and 14:00, Friday 12:00 and 16:00! Hope to see you guys there and that the weather will be really good, the weather forecast isn’t anything I want to talk about so just bring the sun with you! 🙂

She is back in the box again!

Out and time to go into the shop again for some service…

Dad is doing his thing! 🙂

Everything looks good here.

Above is where the issue is….

Heads serviced and ready to go back on again!

Wanna talk quality and customer service? Then CP-Carrillo is the right company to call, Bryan Moreland will help you all he can to get you what you need! That’s nothing that you get everyday and I really appreciate it, parts looks just like they should after the pass we made and are ready to hit the track again!

Serviced and ready to make a pass again!

For once we succeed to load the car around lunch between the rain in the morning and afternoon! 😀

And it’s finally time for that first shake down pass to start the dragracing season for Sjödin Motorsport / ÅBM Racing!! Planned is i 60 foot and the off to check the graphs in the computer! 

Since I let of the throttle in the end of August in 2016 at Tierp Arena I been looking forward to tomorrow and the first possible opportunity to test the Chevelle before the 2017 season starts for real at Malmö Raceway in less than 2 weeks. 

I have spent a crazy amount of hours getting updates done, money for the season figured out, new parts, partners etc. worked out, and of course it haven’t been easy… Parts delayed, shipments messed up, people that doesn’t understand how important it is that I get the help I need when I ask for it and that messes up a lot of things for me… 

But I almost got all the way to the finish line with everything… Patrik, Max, John and me together with our awesome partners have got the race car together, the trailer is good to use like it is and we even bought our own truck to pull the trailer with so we don’t need borrow, rent, wait and don’t know if we even gonna go to the races. BUT….. 

I’m still missing some small stuff to the motor so this coming weekends test is cancelled for us…. I don’t wanna name persons, companies or what’s missing because that’s wrong and it won’t make anything better, this have been going on since mid November last year and the persons know they did wrong and messed up things for me! 

Also after the 2016 season I said I won’t work my self to death one more year because I’m still not feeling all well after what I did during last year, so this coming weekend instead of going and make some laps on the pretty much ready to go race car… Me, Max and Patrik will spend the time working on the trailer instead… We we’re already booked this weekend so why not spent one more weekend on the lunch room floor in the shop together with Patrik? 🙂 

What’s even more sad is that I don’t think I will have the parts before the first outing in the series either, so it looks like we gonna have a messed up season this year also!… Hold your thumbs for us that this problem will be solved so we can go to the first race…

That shirt suits pretty good right now!

Let’s spend one more weekend in here…

Just standing there, waiting for something to arrive….
