Swedish Championship (Riksmästerskap) Norsjö,
Sweden 3-5 November 2006
Per Persson and Norsjö MHF-Ungdom hosted the 2006
Riksmästerskap, or in English, Swedish Championship, in the wing
car
classes.
This was their first major race on their new Per Persson King track.
The track sported a nice purple color scheme (Joel Montague, Camen,
would be proud). The color worked well with the lane stickers.

G-12 Box "Big"
On friday afternoon the Box 12 class was run with the attendance of two Finnish racers who did very well at the scale race "ISRA North European Championship" earlier this year , Atte Hietalahti and Atte Lyyski.The duo came to Norsjö by car and since only Hietalahti has a driver license he had to do all driving which is approx. 1.000 Km! (600 miles).
In the main Mattias Karlsson took the lead from the first heat and then held on to it all the way to victory with 309 laps followed by Daniel Larsson 306 and Atte Lyyski 303.
In Finland they race with one make motors only in their G-12 classes which was a handicap for the Finns here.
1. Mattias Karlsson 309
2. Daniel Larsson 306
3. Atte Lyyski 303
4. Atte Hietalahti 300

Semi-final A in Group 27: Jari
Porttinen, Andreas Karlsson, Mattias Karlsson, André Eriksson,
Juha Yli-Sipola Finland, Lars-Erik Andersson, Richard Jonsson and Leo
Hongisto Finland.
During the Box 12 class another car with Finnish drivers
turned up. They had an easier time driving since the car was packed
with more senior racers.
After the Box 12 race practice for Grp. 27 and Grp 7 started.
The grip
was already so good that you could do all your tests on motors,
chassis, bodies etc. The only thing to wait with was tire choice and,
as it turned out, braid wear.
Group 27 Big (light) and Group 7
On saturday we started with the Group 27 classes. Both classes were run together but with separate result lists. In the "big" class you have to use single magnet motors and chassis made out of steel. No aluminum, carbon fiber or other exotic materials are allowed.
The qualifying was close and the bye rounds saw improved
times. The
leaders after the first round did not have times enough for the top
three spots after the bye round.
Lasse Åberg topped the chart 1,836 followed by André
Eriksson 1,866 and Juha Yli-Sipola 1,877.
Qualifying list
After the semi-finals two of the big class cars (drivers) had
performed well enough to be together with the other Group 27 field.
