I have to miss the next race..

Unfortunately the car won't be ready for the 4th round in the Norwegian championship. It has now been a high priority to fix the exhaust manifold and downpipe before we race again. Of course it is disappointing, but I have driven a lot already this season so I can live with it!

I have also come to a point where I am considering what to do next year. I will come back with more information about this.

 

Norway was hit by a terrible tragedy last friday, where many young people were killed. I did not know anyone involved, but i am still greatly effected by it and my heart goes out to all the killed, wounded and the familys left behind. When things like this happen, everything else seems so unimportant.

 

Thanks for reading.

2 amazing weekends at the new Rudskogen track!

I need to start off with a picture that shows it all. The photographer, Per Ottar Walderhaug has named the picture " Eye of the tiger". It really shows how I feel about the sport and how far I want to go. The picture is from Gatebil at Rudskogen this past weekend.

3rd round of the Norwegian Chamionship 01 - 03 July:

The new track at Rudskogen was just finished as we arrived friday evening. The new depot area is not yet completed but we found some space next to TEVO DEKK on the tarmac. I was very nervous and excited about driving on the new track.

I qualified 18 out of 32. In the first race I finished 14th out of 32! Very happy with this, especially since I am competing against quite a few factory built cars!

On the sunday it was the second race, which was 20 laps! The new track is 3.3km long, so this was going to be tough! I managed to get to lap 17 before I had electrical trouble and lost my power steering. Still, I am both proud of myself and the car for getting this far!

Gatebil Rudskogen 09 - 10 July:

This past weekend can be summed up in one word, EPIC...

My mechanic Ole Johnny sponsored the team with a weekend in the VIPturne bus! www.vipturne.no

Here is a picture:

Thomas and Marius had done a crazy job together with our sponsor Copycat Drammen, getting ready t-shirts, frisbees and last but not least my own mascot! How crazy is this!!!! A huge thanks also to Thomas's mom who spent many hours sewing! We sent out over 100 frisbees to the crowd on sunday! Some were also lucky and got a prize from Vrooom!

I also did a lot of driving this weekend, and had several happy passengers with me. The car gave us a bit of exhaust trouble, but nothing the guys couldn't handle!

Thanks so much to the team, you guys are really the best! And thanks to everyone who made both of these weekends PERFECT!

I hope to race in the 4th round of the Norwegian championship at Kinnekulle raceway at the end of July.
