Did not have anything else to do on a Sunday (21 May), so woke up early, loaded up the car and took it to a No Prep Race. I did not go "full retard", took the day more as a T/T session.. The day could have gone better, first I did not succeed in getting a helping hand to join me and second the carb had a lean tip-in issue that I could not fix at the track so had to leave off idle and not against the converter... Any way.. best ET 10.54@208km/h with a 1.54 60ft... not that bad.... Video.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUlVW10VA2MSome pics... /Tom

Yes very nice car, it amazed me the number of older american muscle cars and classics that are in Sweden, I worked for a company that is located in Finspang back in 2015 for a few months and they seemed to be everywhere.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Sweden is still the No. 1 country in Europe importing old American cars, so yes, you will see them everywhere during the summer months...

Thanks for the nice words about my ride! Went racing again in early June, this is a race series I run in, the class is called Real Street and has a BOT of 10.10sec. Here is a video of one of my T/T runs, got out run bad in the elimination round... Had a couple of issues with the car and did not have any success in getting it running right, so more or less a totally wasted race weekend.. Looking back I should just have stayed home in the garage and worked on getting the car running right, but went racing and hoped on a Hail Mary that the car would run... but it did not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jvaYwKdtwwBeen working on the car and I hope I have sorted out and fixed the issues it was having... /Tom

-Yes. Im gonna run the same event in August. I really enjoyed the No Prep stuff, its so much different from what Im used to racing on a prepped track. No Prep is active driving, its kinda like driving a rally stage. On a prepped track my car runs as if on rails, first through second gear is fun, go into third and its just transportation.. Which I kinda think suggest my ride is really not that fast Imho there is no such thing as wasting time when you are actualy doing something,you might not have got it right at that point but atleast you most certianly learnt a few things about what did not work -True! /Tom
