Welcome to ÅBM Racing

Top Doorslammer

A good trip except that I’m sick like crazy again….

A bit sad that we could not be a part of the eliminations but I’m still really satisfied with our performance on that one 3.90s pass, that’s a good way to start the season for sure! 🙂

Tomorrow will be a day totally of from everything except going to the doctor and see what caught me… Tuesday is time to start solve the parts problem in the motor so we can go to Tierp Arena in June and kick some asses! 😉


Kermit did a good job! 

 

See you next year Malmö, hopefully we can be a part of the elimination day then…. 

I can tell you it sucks really much to go home now after one round that put us on the number one spot and kept us there, a 3.90s is a pretty good baseline to start the season motor was tuned down really much so I still got A LOT to give out of it! 😉 

It’s the first time ever we ends up at the number one spot and pretty good from number two that made a 4.02s that’s 0.12s difference:D

Come to Tierp Arena in June to see more of our evil little Chevy!


And there the weekend ended….

 

Kind of boring, this could been an awesome weekend for us to start tune the car for really fast numbers…. but that needs to be waited with to the second race in the series at Tierp Arena….


See you at Tierp!

 

Before the Q3 pass I said “lets go from the bottom to the top of that list! 🙂 This tune should make us a really low 4 second or really high 3 second round! Car was lame and soft and low on all the numbers down the track and I was totally wrong with the tune cuz we ended up with a 3.9059@309.54km/h (192.33mph) in the first full pass for the season after just a test 60ft! 

But…. of course there is a but, We got some parts problem… and need to contact the manufacturer to see what they have to say about it, so the weekend is already over here for us cuz I don’t wanna continue to use the motor and hurt more parts…

Next race will be a looong waiting for number 2 in the series at Tierp Arena, can tell you it really sucks to sit as number one qualifier with 0.12 seconds to number two and we have to give up…. 🙁


Low numbers all the way but ended up good, it will be fast cuz I still got a lot in it to show the people! 😉


It did look like this.


But I did the job right and put in a good tune!


I just love small annoying stickers! 😀


Thanks Marcus, I blame you for not going under the 3.900s and in to the 3.8x zone! 😉


Swedish Self-Built BAD ASS Doorslammer!!!! 

 

Plan was a low powered soft test hit and it turned out like I wanted, track was good and I was too low on power, little shake and went left and off the throttle after 0.95s and still made 0.9993 to 60 foot! 

All graphs look good and we are turning around the car, changing transmission and adding some power, next one will be a full pass if everything works like it should do, about one hour from now at 15:30, stay tuned!

 

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! 

 

We got here late last night and I was sick as hell and went straight to bed… Dad, Max and Patrik started to set our camp. Woke up today and still feeling really bad… Anyway our camp is now all done and we just got the car inspected and approved. We are soon about to warm up the car. First round is at 11:00 but I think we gonna pass on that one to do some small last stuff on the car and make sure everything is alright!

The time schedule for the rest of the day is 13.00, 15:00 and last one at 18:00.


Finally back at a race track! 🙂


Track looks good!


Got fuel?


My new tuning corner! 😀

 

Better late than never they say…. well the last week have been a big mess everywhere and also I got sick Tuesday…. I’m lucky to have Max and Dad that put together the last stuff on the motor and loaded the trailer with a lot of stuff so I could take an evening totally off from everything and go home and spend 14 hours in my bed, and that’s really not how I usually am… don’t know what shit that got me, might be too much work maybe!? 😉 I’m still pretty sick but at least I can handle the situation again so I have of course spent the last 24 hours at the shop to get everything ready and about one hour ago me and Max left the shop in the rig and Dad and Patrik the Mas in my Volvo! Just about 8 hours left and I can hopefully sleep away the last of my sickness and get up early tomorrow morning so we can unload, build our pit and I can do the last tuning stuff that is necessary for our first test hit, this first race in our series is just a test weekend for us due to we did miss our only test session chance two weeks ago because we were missing parts to the car…. I do not have any big expectations about this coming weekend more that start to figure out all the new stuff on the car, don’t wanna blow up the motor in the first pass like last year so it will be baby steps! 🙂


Finally, its NINE Months since we went to the track the last time!


Loading and cleaning, and what a mess it is before we will get it organized…. Thanks to my siss Sara for helping me out! 🙂


Decided to do a quick cam swap before loading the car! 😀


It’s 2:00 in the morning the day before it’s time to go to the track! Race car is all done! 


Finally loaded in the trailer again! 🙂


Looking pretty good on the bottom floor, still looooong hours before we are all done here!


And we are on the roll!!!
