Hello race report fro Sundsvall
Once again have the fortune turned the back to us.
Every thing was great during loading on friday afternoon. But when the race started on saturday was the engine completely changed. at start rpm was 0.9 bar of scavening air pressure missing. So the output was like on a bicycle, and at 6000 l/min was everything over.
To the race on sunday was a control of mapping curve done, but that didn't help. And finaly was something in the differentional breaking also. Nicke should open up rear axle and check what have happen.

Hello
Yesterday was a test
carried out on our home track Bussjo
and Nicke is continue to
say this is a beast well trained. so mutch power and any way so nice to handle,
no surprices is given.
And it look like an
components is in harmony and no visible damaged or failure is discovered. So
remaining before departure tomorrow to Sundsvall
is to and some stickers
that inform everybody that this car is using Etanol E85 as fuel in the
rearwindow.Some new rule is implemented for this.
During the test have Nicke
reduced the gear change rpm from the 8500 on previous engine 2400 cc of suction
model to 5500 on this one.
of record that one is now
in race engine's heaven after a conrod separated itself to many pcs at 8500 rpm.
Bits & pcs everywhere pcs was found on upper side of starter motor.
because of the torque is
calculated to be above 400 Nm in the range 2000-6000rpm, and power abt 250-280
kW this figures is when response system is activated.
So this weekend is the
first in 11 years during this journey with Volvo 850 5 cyl engine that
everything feel's to be GO for a whole race week. Engine is far away from
extreme output. Anders say we running in safe mode.
The car sound like a gas
turbine is coming driving to you from ahead and from rear is only gearbox and
driveshaft's strait cut gears screaming.
For me is it sad I am out
on my vessel, so I miss the event.
If you is going to
Sundsvall you will see and hear something different.
The race will be sent on
Viasat sport, nice.
I also gratulate Nicke on his 37:th birthday the 28 June.

Event took place on a airfield 70km from UMEA.

So now is the plan to race at the swedish championship uphill-competition in Sundsvall 28-29 of june.

Hi
Now have the first race in the Swedish championship for car on ice been carryed out.
And this time have we installed a Volvo B21 turbocharged, etanol drinking beast, our 5cylinder engine cracked during runing on the testbed, and it will take abt 2 weeks to make a new cylinderhead. Our friends the Holmstrom brothers have builded the B21 engine. and when we found the cracks in our engine they was giving us the change to run with this monsterengine, it gives over 500 Nm at 5000 rpm. This race ended with total 3 broken driveshaft's for us but now is new ones under construction, so we will be back for the next race in Ostersund latter this month.

And he have found many things that have been inproved and now are we not so far away from the preformance needed for be in the top of the our class. During this last year have new camshafts and cylinderheads been done. And the new engine is a beast be sure about that, data from the testbed is following. torge 305 Nm, output over 200 Kw all that in a wide range of prm.

DM-Final Pengfors Vannas
Nicke's gearbox braked down after 3,5 laps. Micke jumped to heavy over the 1:st crest on the track and it resulted in 1 broken luboil sump.
The Winners of this race is the same as last race in Pitea.
04-09-99
Result from the race in Pitea
The second race is over and our weekend was not so good.
Nicke had still problem with overheating of his engine but he came to the B-final and there finished on the 5-th place. After the race we noticed that he had twisted all the bults again and the connecting pieces on the flywheels only 1 bult was remaning to hold the driveshaft after the final. Back in our workshop we found that also the pinoin and wormwheel was damaged. So during this week 1 new gearbox is build.
For Micke the race ended after the 1 qualification round, heavey knocking from the engine was overheard. After dismantling we found that the connecting rod bearing was damaged and the connectingrods and the crankshaft needed some machineryworks.
So it ended building 1 new engine during this week. The engine was finished at 01:00 this morning.
The winners in the race was:
Supernationell KG-Lindkvist , Boliden and again it was David Forsberg, Pitea in FM 2400.
23-08-99
Finally the first race is over and the result was not so good for us. The Supernationell race was won by Ola.Stenvall, Skellefta and at FM 2400 by David.Forsberg, Pitea
Hopefully we will race next weekend at Pitea raceway.
22-08-99
On the first test of Nicke´s car the gearbox broke down - dismantling for repair. The drive shaft was also broken and the repairworks was finished at 04:00 the morning before the race.
20-08-99
A new engine is build to Nicke due to problem with ovality on cylinder liner no 2. Total overhaul for him is now 4 times.

29-05-99
Now is the first paintwork done and assembleying have started, soon there will be some new pictures of the cars in the photoarcive and there will not be any problem finding the cars regarding the color.
