Lasse's slotpageWhat's New200920 DecemberToday I did throw away so many tires that it hurted to see them in the waste bin. I have bought a lot of tires during the years and I have always saved them in my large refrigerator. The coldness in the refrigerator have keept them in good shape for long time. Two weeks ago my refrigerator gave up and I had to move all stuff that were there out to the balcony where the temperature was cold but not freezing. After I replaced my refrigerator I did not put back the tires until today. I had a lot of tires that were just breaked in but with type of rubber or hardness that I know I don't use neither for G-7 racing nor scale racing. Over 30 pairs. It's tires I used for a G12 race or high speed Saloon etc. Now they are gone. Then I saw some really good G7 qualifying rubber, or rather, used to be good, orange. I did save them but not in the refrigerator anymore. Something tells me that important things like Koford magnet glue, J&B Weld, tires and other things may have to give way for eatable things. Not in a hurry yet but after got married I "presume" some things may/could/will change. In Sveslot (the Swedish Slotracing Association) the new Saloon champion is Michael Lorin. He won in front of Michael Landrud.

(outside link to pdf file) 27 April As you have seen I have neither raced for a long time nor updated the pages. I hope to correct that behavior somewhat. Last autumn was busy at work and after that I took a long vacation in November and December. When I came back in January a reduction work force had been done and I had been moved to another group since my old one had almost totally disappeared after the reduction. I don't know if I do any races in May but I hope to do some i June and in August. The last two three weeks a lot of scale races has run in Sweden and Finland. The 2009 Worlds track hosted a race this weekend. Waiting for results from that race. This weekend a round in the Swedish "ISRA cupen" was held in Partille. In production 1:24 it was Anders Gustafson and Lars Harrysson who won in front of Michael Landrud and Christer Helgesson. Third team was Kennet Signal and Lasse Pettersson.

I am trying to catch up on everything. A lot of emails to read and answer. ISRA web site needs updates. I have not yet worked on my cars. Today I surfed in to the IMCA web site to catch up on the activities at the model cars. Sadly I saw that one of the great wing car racers Martin Gramann have passed away. He was a multiple European Champion. A long time ago, 1983, Anders Gustafson and I had the pleasure to visit him at his home in Vienna. I raced against him many times and I have a lot of nice memories. 2008 What's New Link 2007 What's New Link 2006 What's New Link 2005 What's New Link 2004 What's New Link
