Where do I start? I wonder what I´m doing sometimes...racing! First race: Emmaboda. Will it rain or not, I took the chanse, and of course it was raining almost the whole day. But finally we got a chanse to test the car, they short it down to 1/8 mile, instead of 1/4 mile, well, well we got the hanse to test it. Ofcourse we had trouble with the car again.. I was missing power somewhere, the time was 6,3/121.7mph "**** it" we went home.
Next weekend we went to Mohomen to race 1/4 mile. First run out the car was tired, 9,4/140 mph. what is going on! The engine was running strong. Next run I logged the transmission found out the converter was slippering 30% Finally we found the fault I hope. Nova went back to Gothenburg to get a ´new converter. This converter was higher stall on. What the heck we must try it.
Finally it will work or?.... We missed the racetest about ten minutes before the racetrack was closed for the day. Well, well it´s a day tomorrow also.
We also have a big bus and tent too! Robert at HQTEC have helped us with this. This is really big, with a small truck inside!
Regular site for many and it has a big wing on it!!!
When we sit and talk that evening I was thinking I have to check the valve clearance. Suprised to see two rockers was broken. Then everything started to clear why the car was so powerless ( what I didn´t know was the two intake valve was leaking badly)
Svenne goes back to Gothenburg to get new rockers. I go up 5.30 in the morning to put together everything. The car was running 7,30 and the engine sounds good. I take it out for a testdrive in the pit area, and I notice that it takes forever to build a boost. What the heck..I think it´s ok and hope it will run fast.
Moholmen racetrack is a track that I can recommend for us in Sweden, Not the best track but still good.
Got a little suprised when I saw the concrete, it was waffeld, I tested it and it hooked quite good.
Finally I got to test it after all mess.My God what time it took to build boost (something must be wrong) The time I got was 9,22/151 mphgained some speed, but there was horsepower missing, roughly around 200-300 HP, where are you?????
I didn´t want to drive anymore, just wanted to go home to check the fault.
Finally at home I found the big problem, it´s increadable that the car has runned without any noice!UNBELIEVABLE!
The car is back together and running on all 6 and all the horses is back in the stable
Not bad run for a 3 cylinder Syclone! 9,22 That was my small report! That´s racing!
