A Main
The main consisted of Kenth Jansson, Torgny Lundmark, Torgny
Nordgren, Rickard Lundh, Lasse Åberg and Olle Söderholm.
When the first heat was run there was a one lap difference between the first
and the last.
In the second heat Rickard Lundh took the lead almost a lap in front
of Lasse on 84 laps. Kenth on 82. Olle and Torgny Lundmark both on 81 and
Torgny Nordgren on 80 laps.
The third saw Rickard in the lead with the same amount of laps as
Lasse, 127. Kenth is third on 124 with Olle on 123. Torgny Lundmark on 121
and Torgny Nordgren with 120.
Rickard and Olle both started to run really fast lap times. Both
did high 3.9's in the race on most of the lanes. Lasse 169. Rickard 168.
Kenth 164 and Olle and Torgny L on 163 and Torgny N on 160.
In the fifth heat Rickard was fast again but was, together with
Olle, really unlucky in traffic and crashes and could not gain on the speed.
Lasse 212. Rickard 211. Kenth and Olle 204. Torgny Lundmark 203 and Torgny
Nordgren 199.
In the sixth and last head Lasse was on the fast orange while Rickard
drove on white. After less than a minute Rickard had pulled back on Lasses
lead and passed him. At the same time Olle, on a good blue lane, got passed
by Kenth who was on the (early on) slow white lane. Halfway through the head
Rickard crashed and lost his lead and Lasse could take it easy the last minute.
1. Lars Åberg 255,20
2. Rickard Lundh 253,80
3. Kenth Jansson 247,30
4. Olle Söderholm 245,40
5. Torgny Lundmark 243,70
6. Torgny Nordgren 238,80
During this season we have seen more than 2/3:rd of the field being
able to drive below four second in practice and more than 1/3:rd being able
to do that either in race or qualifying. With that in mind the next year
will be interesting. A trend is that three drivers drives in most of the
A Main but behind it's getting more and more fierce.
Late on in the season Torgny Nordgren has knocked on the door for the A Main
and been there twice in a row. Torgny Lundmark is a trusty 243-247 laps driver.
Mikael Eskilsson was not present today but he is A Main driver.
We have Marcus Hammenstad who needs a new body for the car. (His brother
thinks Marcus needs a new body but not only for the car). Mats Hummel and
Ove Halvarsson are two fast drivers who was not in the A main today and,
of course, Conny Johansson, who has won several B Mains now.
We have drivers that drove Saloon this season but that lately focused on
Nascar but who also has been in A Mains. I am thinking of Torbjörn Lundkvist
and Niclas Lindblom.
The list goes on and on.
