I have just seen Leif has gone 8.12@278 kmh[172mph] today at Tierp, with according to eurodragster a pedal as well Shocked  with Jens Petter running 8.03 in the Skinne beetle last weekend the race is on to be the next VW in the 7s, could we soon have three 7 second cars in Europe?  Cool

I already made plans to take the cabrio to BRC and SCC next year, now we just need to get them all together  Smiley

Who will be next is one thing.. who will be the fastest is another interesting question  Smiley The weather forecast is looking really promising for Tierp and the Skinne beetle is ready for the last race at Gardermoen Sept 5-6. After that we have the last race at Kjula which use to be a really good one with good air and good traction.

Thanks Richie. With that 60ft it is just a matter of time before he will manage a 7.

Skinne is servicing his car for the race finals at Gardermoen this coming weekend. The weather forecast is looking promising too.
