The first thing you do when coming to Denmark is to locate a beer outlet which sells Probably The Best
Beer In The World much cheaper than in the highly overtaxed country of Sweden.


The load will make the perfect riding height for your car. Here I have the Eibach springs on all four corners.


Vandel is a NATO airfield which lets the Danish organizers come in and play a couple of weekends every
year. Nova and I were confused over a good running nitrous-fed engine but now a slipping 4L60E trans!
Actually this trans was sent to an "expert" in the north of Sweden to get a race preparation before the
season began. So I didn't believe what happened when it slipped on high RPM on every gear in every
run! That didn't even happen when transmission was stock!? Could it be too much power...? Hm...



No race without Impala CookieSS made by Sonia Rooth, my dear mother-in-law. And you really need
these sweet ones to the coffee when wondering why the heck you're running 13.2's with a much
better prepared Impala SS than last year when it ran 12.9's....



Axel has advises for mechanic Anders "Nova" Forsberg. Anders Arvidsson to the left also tries to learn
something. Arvidsson is an endurance racer in his own built Volvo 242 and also my garage landlord.



"Hey Nova, get me my tractor please!"


One of the days had a rain that we thought would last all day so we hurried in to the closest town to have
a real danish "kro" treat with beer, beef, fried potatoes and a "lille en" (little one) schnapps. Axel was happy
with a new toy as usual. Suddenly we got a call - "rain is gone, qualifying continues soon!"
We got happy in an unhappy way.



15" wheels look too small on such a big car that comes with 17". But what can you do? You need racing tires...
Anyway, you also need consistency in Bracket racing which you don't have with a slipping transmission.
Died in first round, but managed to get some cup-points. Also managed to drive home with all the beers.


(More of this at the tech pages when they're done!)

For next race in Mantorp I will buy and install an MSD Window switch for the nitrous.
That will give me an opportunity to shut off the nitrous on high RPM during the
shiftings and to let it on again at the beginning of the next gear. Maybe that's it?
That "expert" in the northern of Sweden also thought it was a bright idea...
(Yes, you'll get to know more about him later on)
