SSC Evening race #2. 26:th of  January

18 drivers showed up for this weeks Monday race which is quite a good starting field considering Monday traffic in the capitol of Sweden.
Suggestions came up that we should change the start time from 18,30 to 19,00 to avoid some of the traffic. Voting was done and starting with the next saloon race the new time will be used.

Qualifying

We did not clean the track before this race instead we used the grip from the Saturday Sveslot races. We just sprayed on some new grip on top of the existing one.

Early on it did not look to be a fast qualifying. Conny Johansson asked it the track was bad but we just said wait. Wait until Olle has been driving we said. When Olle had been driving the track was okay. Already on his first two laps he drove below 4 seconds.
TQ was Olle Söderholm, 3,824 with Lasse Åberg in second, 3,939 and Torgny Lundmark in third with 3,983.
