Pics of Scandinavian Drag Cars

Very interesting Kotten. What type of times did it run? Any picsof that rear end?

Thanks.

[Kotten]

I could not get any decent runs because of different troubles with the tranny at first. When I got those figured out the engine acted funny. As soon as the boost came in the oil started spraying all over the track because of a huge blow by caused by the piston rings and oval shaped cylinders.  Made a couple of runs wit a little over 200 km/h top speed but i cannot recall the times recorded. I stopped there!

I have no digital pics of the tranny but I'll try to find the old ones and have them scanned. I will return to that in time.

Actually it's "next summer". But you really can't spend too much time with Arabia Slugs, can you? At least if the alternative is to spend some time with a Lutfisk...

Well it seems that the Aslugs tend to spend time with me. They seem to visit my garage much more often than I go to theirs

Kotten, here are smaller versions of your photos..

Hey now! We just come by to tell you of all the things that are going on in the New World! Also, where else do you think we could steal our tools from? Heebah's garage is too far away and you guys have better tools.

Anyway, this smack-talking of yours is not without consequence. I hereby challenge Kotten to a drag race in 2009, my restored '52 (Valtteri's Revenge) against Kotten's car! All timeslips until end of July 2009 qualify and the slower driver will have to bow down 10 times (chanting "You are the Master Drag Racer, I am not worthy!") to the faster guy at the last Krem-A-Que (first friday of August). The whole event will be videotaped and uploaded to youtube and all relevant forums! Whaddaya say, will you take up the challenge?

I love it!!

EXCEPT

The whole thing should end at SCC 2009 in front of a international crowd and the world press

OOPS! I seem to have stepped on the toes of the Sluts!!
Valtteri, I usually don't answer to challenges, but this I wouldn't miss for the world!
BeetleBug, this is a very lokal thing. The sluts usually challenge each other for a 12-pack of beer but never get to race for it....
I will however redo this thing at SCC 2009 as well if Valtteri shows up with his split!

Well you know there's nothing to race for if all of it has already been drank, eh?

Just to get the facts straight, you do accept my challenge, first and foremost domestically (including the global humiliation) and if we both show up at SCC 2009, we'll have a heads-up race there?

Looks like I may get to spend some more time with the 'slugs and 'sick ones, as I'm working getting another biz trip to Finland scheduled for next spring . I'll let you guys know when plans are finalized.

Here are a few more pics of some Finnish drag cars, for you Ollie (others in this thread):

What ever happened to the J-Team Racing car (Johan Dryselius and Jörgen Ek) that was out of Sweden?

I lost track of Johan some time ago, after trading emails with him for a few years, and would like to know what he's up to now and/or catch up with him again.

Here are some old pics of the J-Team car:

[Jon]

I know the car is sitting unused in a Norwegian garage...  who knows, maybe it will roll this summer?

[Kotten]

Just for your information Valtteri.
Yesterday I started up the engine and run in the camshaft. I also ordered the ticket and depot space for SCC 2009. See you there!

Mika`s old car is for sale here in Norway;

[Roman]

Here is Håkan Norenius street/race car. It made 6.90's on the 1/8 mile in 1994 with a type 4 turbo engine.
I visited him last week and he still has it! In 1995 it was backhalved and a new, bigger engine was under construction when he decided to buy a house. It's in a shed now under a lot of dust, and it is for sale.
The bad thing is that the cage is not up to date for todays NHRA/SHRA standards.

If someone is interested, drop me a PM and I will give you the contact information.

He also has a type 4, 78x101.6 engine with drysump, turbo - T04 AR60 , 48 x 40 heads etc in pieces, all for sale. I would have bought it if I wasn't a N/A type 1 guy!

[alfie the monster]

And in action

For some reason I love this car 

[speedwell]

[JS]

Making fun of my BLACK car are we Fabian? 

[alfie the monster]

There's a black car there 

[64 RCR]

I think its because the red car is fast and runs in the 12`s 

[alfie the monster]

Looks very much like mine 

Hoping for a 12 by the end of the year too 

[1835cc]

.....Hope to try it at scc,1835 with turbo
