Hi Stian,

It seems that is was for you an adventure just it was for me to come to SCC, time now to retreat for the winter and improve our cars for next year.
Greetz to everybody and I come back to you concerning the Vertigate shifter.

Sven.

[Tekken]

Hey Sven!
Yes,I believe we both want to go faster..   My engine is in pieces already,and ready to receive some care.I have to hurry you know,only have 7 month until the next race.. 
Keep me updated on the shifter..

Man, you're funny. You were the star of the show (9.58 out of the trailer?), and on top of that, you were super nice all WE long (I spent a good while checking your car with Xavier - you let him sit in it and explained all the controls). The car is fantastic, you deserved it.

(PS: But is it cal-look?  )

After three awesome days at Bitburg,we where sad to see that the event was over.It was time to head home..

[Tekken]

On the way home to Udo we thought it got dark pretty fast in Germany.Tried to turn on the lights,and then..what the hell??No lights at all,no wonder it got dark  Stopped and checked all fuses,but nothing wrong.Since we had only 20km left to Udo,we decided to keep close to Udo's trailer the rest of the way.After a tasty meal and a couple of cold Iserlohner beer we all took a sought-after shower and found the bed.

[Tekken]

On monday morning we just had to take a final look at Udo's but mainly his brothers tractor,the Lanz Bulldog.With Torleif's history as an norwegian champion in tractor pulling,we of coarse fell in love with this cool ride when we arrived on thursday.Udo's grandfather bought it new,he gave it to their father and he gave it to them.It's a 2 stroke with one 5 L cylinder.Max rpm is 500,and you start it with a steering wheel..

More pics to follow..

Beetlebug,don't you have anything to do at work??

That`s the beauty of working behind a PC  Thanks again for the great report - no need to go to any events with reports like this... except from the smell... I miss the smell of burning rubber.

Hey Stian! Great pix and road trip report Glad you guys got back home safely. What was the outcome of the broken valve? Any other damage? Congrats again on that superb trophy Well deserved, of course! Matt Keene

MORE MORE MORE!!!!

This picture has played many times at my house over the years.... just with different faces.  The cars are cool, but it's the people and the hospitality that make it special.

Great Report and great Hospitality Stian. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Matt,thanks!
I think I was quite lucky.A light polish on the piston top and at the side of the valve seat,and it's ok I think.I'll replace all the valve guides,fresh up the seats and change valves.Also magnaflux all the engine parts for cracks.My valve stems is 11/32 (8.5mm) thick,think that was the difference between bending and not breaking.I'll post some pictures..

Cool pics Stian, it was a great weekend for sure. See you around

[JeePee/DVK]

Thanks for your report,I liked it.
And your run was aweshome.

Monday morning we where up early and ready to leave,after another nice breakfast together with Udo.Did'nt want to have any rush on the way back to Kiel,in case of any problems on the way.Close to Hamburg the rain started to fall,it was time to turn on the windshield wipers.What the fxxk..?Now we found out they did'nt work,neither did the heater fan.Was quite funny,we just wondered what the next problem would be..

[Tekken]

To go shopping 4 hours together with Barbro in Kiel sounded quite scary to me and Torleif,we had to come up with a plan..   Christian at CSP was really kind to invite us to come and vist their shop.When we arrived the boss Peter took us around the whole shop,it was really impressive.
