The magazine Bilsport has a collumn in every issue, where they check whats up with profiles around the country. This time it was time for me to present my new plans... 
Text translated: Whats up with Bjorn Holmberg WokBjorn Holmberg have ben seen quite alot in the magazine since he introduced himself with the Cherry back in 2001. Now that car is retiring still being the fastest FWD in Europe with a best ET of 8,99-259kmh. This new project is based on a true out race CrMo chassie and a fibre glass body of a Nissan Juke. Was there really no more to do with the Cherry? Oh sure, but we fealt it was time to get rid of the constant gearbox problems. While doing that, why not just go all the way? Now we will run a Liberty 5speed clutchless gearbox. Will it be faaster? Absolutely, but most important, it will be lighter. Not so much extra power at first stage. On the Cherry we ran 28x10" slicks. For this car we aim to run 33x16,5... Why a Juke body? One reason is its a Nissan. Then there have ben a series of custom models made on this car, so we figured, why not just make a killer version. Also some say its an ugly car and that suits me pretty well, since it would be like a modern Cherry. Not many thought it was a beautiful car either. |

Text translated: MATCHRACE. With two real FWD racecars in the outlaw class (class 8) on sight there would have ben a big mistake not to make them do a matchrace. Bjorn "Hot Wok"Holmberg in his Datsun Cherry against Kalle Uhr in his Opel Corsa with a Saab engine. Bjorn was alot faster from start to finnish running 9,94 even if that was almost a whole second slower than his personal best. Kalle who have ran 9,91 as a personal best at Kjula Raceway only ran low 11's at this track, but he did the events longest burnout. In the matchrace Kalle had the best reaction time. It was so much better than Bjorns that he even crossed the finnish line first. Link to our coverage of the event:

Rough translation: Björn Holmberg with the "HotWok Cherry" has developed his car with fire, wheels and E85 fuel for this years season. -There have ben people around the car all the time, that wants to talk and ask questions. They wonder what car it is, and why it has slicks in front and skinnys in rear. Great fun. Also cool to see so much different people looking at it and having opinions. Old school hillbillys, old ladys, men, whomen, kids and disco youngsters. Read all about it |
