Gälleråsen 2001

Let me begin by saying a big thank you to the Swedish 200SX Club, for organizing this event.
Lots of fun, as you will see in the following pictures.
Everything took place on the 14th of July. We started at 8 'o clock, with an introduction and a drive round the track.

Here is the lineup for the first race:

After the initial talk, only the fun part was left...
We practically had a whole day of track driving ahead of us. It was a bit crowded at first but somehow, as the day went on, there were less and less cars on the track... :)
Me on the straight:

Tight, tight turn:

Thompa's guts... :)

The day ended with 201m (1/8 mile) races. Here I am against a 200SX:

Here am I, racing the fastest one, Lasse:

Unfortunately I lost that one... It's tough against a gutted 200SX (1100kg). I have problems with power on high revs and that was the reason for my defeat :(
The X-pipe in my exhaust system was not made as I was expecting it to be. The two 3" exhaust pipes cross each other causing the total exhaust diameter to be 3", instead of 2*3". I'm having the X-pipe thrown out. There will be an H-pipe connection made instead. I'm very keen to see the effects of that.

Fun fun fun! Only if my brakes were bigger.... Soon, very soon... MUAHAHAHAHAHA! :-P

Best regards to all that I've met!
Hope to see you soon!
