Thanks! In the best of worlds I could attend to Speed Weekend now but I won´t press the matter too much. I think Anna would like to have me at home the first couple of weeks. But if my mother-in-law decides to pay us a visit over the weekend I should be able to sneak away unnoticed, hmmm......this needs some thinking...

Dude- Congrats on the reproduction! About the mother-in-law, what i did was tell everyone i was going to name my little girl after my mother in law. I could do no wrong after that! I'm planning on speedweek next year, try to reproduce at a different time!

Thanks a lot Chris! That was one clever trick, good job to pull that one off without raising any suspicion. We´ll meet at the next years race then, we are planning a streamlined kick build with an afterburning JU-01 and a hybrid rocket as a booster in case we cannot reach the record speed that the "Rocket Launchers" team has set with their pay-and-play jetkick. The bipropellant rocket might also find its way into a gocart frame I have laying around the back of the shed, the short 800m track should be perfect for it.

Thanks guys!
They will probably be embarassed to have a dad who raise hell in the back yard and scares away all potential boyfriends they find. ;D

You should have seen my gun vault.... 1200 machine guns and bianery explosives... Finally, daughter grew up, and now I started with jets.
I let Chris's boy fire a couple of them...MP5SD suppressed etc.
Jets are more fun and cheaper.

Jets are more fun and cheaper. And you don't have the ATF randomly deciding to check up on the storage of the jets...

If the ATF had anything to do with turbines i would have noting to do with turbines. Owning weapons here in the US is complicated..... Using one to defend yourself-.... how legal that is depends on how much money you have to spend on a lawyer.

To get back on topic I put the housing on with the new silicone o-ring and stainless spacer ring and shortened a set of stainless insex bolts so they fit the turbine housing, the engine is finally together again and sits on the workbench waiting to be put in the test rig.
No pics but I guess you´ve already seen this scene a couple of times anyway...

Ha ha ha, trust me I will never say those words out loud. It is an invitation to my old friend Mr Murphy for sure... ;D I have promised my friends with the large pulsejet to come over and see the next start, so it will have to wait until after Speed Weekend when things have settled down a bit for them. Waiting a couple of weeks will settle things down for us after the birth as well, so it is all for the best.

Tomorrow morning I will do another test run of the JU-01 engine, one of the guys with the pulsejet sled will bring his HD-webcam so we will try to livestream the event in case someone is interested.
Check out our homepage mobackenracing.se tomorrow for a link to the streaming, we will begin preparing the run 11 hours from now and hopefully we will have the webcam set up soon after that.
A written summary of the day with a video will follow as usual. =)
