8.76/161 mph AWD POWER
Now was the time to test again, after last weekend disaster. It was a big race in Germany called speed days. That sounds fun I thought! The rules was that you have to have a street legal car with all your paperworks in order. That fits me perfect! Checked the map, and the distance was 1900 miles one way. Ok it will work this time. I´m nuts!
First ferry Sweden - Denmark
Leaving Sweden
After that, it was a few miles in Denmark
When we got to Rodby it was time to take the ferry to Germany.
Once we got on it, there were both cars and trains!
very nice boat weather!
Finally in Germany and Autobahn! FREE speed, maybe we will see some fast cars on the way down?
As usual.... traffic jam
Nice nature in south Germany!
We had to refuel a couple of times with Diesel
Finally we reached our destination!
One could see that it was going to be a big event!
The track was nice and smooth (airfield)
Regular asphalt, no glue here!
The car passed the inspection. Check the papers.... not here.... They didn´t give damn what you had in paperworks, if you had a promod you could take paperwork from your trailer and show, and that was ok and streetlegal then That wasn´t what it said in the rules....
It started to get crowded and I promise, it was a lot of people around 15000 paying people!
Germans can PARTY! We too... or not...
What is a race without girls?
To get in you had to stand in line for miles!
We lived in a small and sweet hotel!
On the race I had grip-problems
60 foot round 1,7
1/8 133 mph
1/4 9,06/162mph record speed for me!
Film: 162 mph.

The engine was running like a clock! BUT with a big B there always have to be something wrong! The same this time It took about 15 sec. to get up the boost. Ofcourse they send me a wrong converter with the wrong stall. You can´t win a race with that boosttime, so I was smoked anyway As if that wasn´t enough the car just died after 5 testruns. My thought was: Here we go agian. I was totally exhausted after this day! It was sunny the whole day and 90F and people everywhere. I mad a fast check, to locate the problem: I took the decision to pack and go home, and fix it at home instead. At home I found out that one of the cables had melted due to wrong stall, so it was too hot under the hood. It´s fixed now, and running. I´m very happy that my Syclone is running so strong, imagine 162 mph with AWD truck fuel E85 singleturbo, 3700 LB. It really is gonna be intresting to see how fast this truck is gonna go on a real glued track! Time will tell. That was my little story!
