Borlänge Street Open 19-20/7-2008


Season opening. Late again.
At least, this time we have tested the car and cluch alot more than we did 2007.
Things seems to hold on. Both the cluch AND the CV-joints.


Due to bad weather we only got one qualification round at saturday.
We wanted to try some different settings on out cluch and that resulted in a 16,2s run.


This competition was called Street cars index.
That means everyone qualifyes together, and then get put in a class.
A, B, C or D based on the qualifying times. With my 16,2sec round I would end up in class D with a breakout at 13 sec,
but I managed to change myselfe into class B with 10,0 sec breakout.
The Dodge Dart I ran against in the first elimination round was pretty sure of victory until he saw the Wok and realized that I wasnt there to run mid 14s all day... =)

I lost the round anyway with my 10,82s against his 11,07 due to my poor reaction of 0,54sec.
Thats racing.

No nines for us this time in other words.
Its quite hard to feel the happiness over that nothing broke though.
The track wasnt perfect either, but a low ten wouldnt have hurt... =)

We ran 10,82s - 213kmh


The weather looked really unsteady, so after being poped out of the eliminations we packed our selfes and left, to avoid the worst weather during the trip back home (some 250km).
