Hi Olov
You were getting some speed up pretty quickly :-)
I noticed the flameout was just after you hit a "bumpy" patch in the ice .
You took a long time to come to a stop , thats encouraging , good speed and low drag , your streamlining is certainly helping to reduce the air drag .
Thanks for the video , very enjoyable , heh heh , I might just watch it a few more times :-)
Cheers John

Hi Olov, Yeah thanks for the video as John said very enjoyable to watch. I wish Lake Eldon which is only one hours drive from where i live would ice up once a year.
Cheers, Mark.

We finished this years modifications to the jet kick and test ran it today, a second afterburner fuel pump gave very impressive results and a new oil regulator ended the bouncing oil pressure we had last year. We have also added a way of balancing the rpm between the two gas turbines since they differed by 0.2bar P2 last year. It runs very hard now, after the video was taken we ran it again at almost full throttle and the concrete floor shook from the afterburner growl. Nice! Cheers! /Anders

Hi Anders Thats one very impressive construction :-) Not long to wait now until we see it action on the ice . Cheers John It sure looks complicated enough... On thursday we head towards Årsunda and eternal glory, the weather forecast looks promising with sub zero degrees every night so the ice should be in good shape. Cheers! /Anders

Hi guys! Thursday race report from Speed Weekend on Ice, we traveled the 500km to the race and set camp. Sorry for the Swedish language but I think there will be a couple of seconds that are of interest anyway. Wish us luck for tomorrow!

Like John, I wish I was there too....we had 42.6C at my home yesterday..!
It's on my bucket list to get there one day Anders.
John, if possible we should organize to go there together..
Cheers, Smithy.

The weather conditions this year couldn´t possibly be better, a couple of degrees below freezing all day long and sunny. The ice track is great as well, the crew at landracing.se have outdone themselves.

Looks like the video is private, Anders It isn´t uploaded yet, the damn power in the pits is clipping so I had to upload the video again. Be patient.
