Yeah, the highlight of the summer is here.
As a member of SHRA Skellefteć
I might be a bit partial though...
But just a tiiiiny bit :-)
Courtesy of the SHRA Skellefteć timing crew, of course.
Round three of the swedish championship.
Weather looked kinda crappy when I left home
but the rain managed to stay away and
it cleared up a bit.
Great day at the track after all.
I met my arch enemy quite early on saturday.
Result ?
smashed elbow (now in cast from shoulder to fingers)
and a D300 in need of repair.
I need to practice some running with hurdles
before next summer.
with one hand and a light 50mm/1.8D.
But it efficiently puts an end to this
years racing photography.

Its grim up north...
Vintage snowmobile dragracing at Skellefteć Bilskrot
I have to say is that -18C is frekkin cold!
when holding a camera for 2 hours.
Great weather today!
Its off to Örviken for vintage snowmobile dragracing again.
Ok, so its not really that much race,
but there were some nice cars and bikes there
and I didnt have anything else planned for the day...
Besides, its like 600meters from home =)
Not the best of weather, but just a small drizzle of rain around noon.
So we got a bit of racing to kickstart the season =)
Dinner at 22:30... And of course I cant sleep after that.
Its 01:20 and the pics from sunday are done =)
But due to the rain I barely passed the 100 mark today.
Not really racing, but I kinda like old american cars.
And there are worse ways to spend a saturday night.
Another visit to a cloudy and somewhat cold dragstrip.
Whoever it is thats bogarting the summerheat needs
to send some my way rather soon.
I arrived a bit late, and unfortunently it would seem that
somehow I brought the rain with me.
It started to rain just as I parked the car... and it lasted 3 hours.
But on the bright side, I got more pictures from the pits than usual...
Well, once again it started to rain after lunch...
But besides that it was quite a good day.
No rain today, but I arrived really late at the track.
They were lining up for semis by the time I finally got there.
So the number of pictures is a bit lower than usual.
A bit cloudy, but quite warm...
Perfect day for some racing and avoiding a bad sunburn.
Its HOT at the track.
I must have had 4 liters of water at the track,
and I managed to get a bad sunburn on my arms.
Although I suspect that some of the guys without shirts
in the audience prolly had a worse night than me. =)
A total disaster of a day, atleast it feels like it.
Rain before lunch, and as the track got dry the timing
system developed a life of its own...
The poor timing guys fought the problem for the better
part of 4 hours before they had to throw in the towel
and surrender to the fact...
Life sucked pretty badly when we packed everything
up at the end of the day.
Its a grey, cold and rainy day...
It kept raining just enough to keep the track wet until around 14
and the track was almost dry by 16 when the rain started to drip again.
The race was called off for the day without a single pass had been run.
So I only have pics from the pits...
Ok, so its not racerelated...
But I like aircooled VW's and it was less than a 5 minute walk from home.
And the weather was great =)
2009
-4C and a bit cloudy, off to the hillrace we go...
First time in the dark with the D300, so it could be better.
Kinda hard to ask for a rerun though :)
After a week of "freezeyournutsoff" temperatures its just -4C outside.
Perfect timing for some vintage snowmobile dragracing at
Skellefteć Bilskrot
More dragracing with vintage snowmobiles,
although not as many as two weeks ago at Bilskroten.
But there are worse ways to spend an afternoon :)
Yet again its dragracing with vintage snowmobiles.
Prolly the last vintage event for me this winter...
Results from the snowmobile dragracing
in Korpilombolo 4-5th of April.

First streetrace in Fällfors for 2009.
But just 8 drivers ?! Where are the rest ?
I wanna see YOU there next time =)
Yepp, first visit to the local dragstrip.
With the customary sunburn... =)
The customary sunburn is now a lovely shade of...
barbequed hot dogs... is prolly the best description.
Courtesy of the Shra Skellefteć timing crew.
Not quite as many drivers as last year.
But man, I really hate rain and hail.
It was COLD! towards the end...
Ok, so its technically not really racerelated.
But there were some really nice cars there.
Rain delayed the start until 13.00...
And then at 15.30 it came back and cancelled the whole thing.
But the wheelie by Simon made the trip worth it anyways. =)
I arrived a bit late, so I missed the first 45 minutes or so...
But I figure that I'll get my fair share of dragracing anyways.
A 3 day compo is more that enough for me =)
I arrived late, and left early (well, sort of).
Might just as well work for the municipality *grin*
Anyways, here are saturdays pictures.
And here are the pictures from sunday...
Yay! Fridays pictures...
Saturday gave us 7 qualification rounds (I think),
and here are the pics that came out ok.
Its sunday and time for eliminations!
Results can be found at SHRA Skellefteć
Lets go check out some Crosskart,
its been a while since I last saw it in Piteć.
Round three of the swedish championships I am told.
Saturday was a complete writeoff due to rain.
And Sunday started out quite bad, but it cleared up in time.
2008
Ok, so its not the best pictures I've ever taken.
But I had just bought a SB800 flash and
was a bit eager to try it out a bit.
Consider them a work in progress, or something.
A quick trip south to Sävar for some laidback snowmobile action
on the Sega lake. A bit cold in the wind, but there are worse
ways to spend a Saturday.
Time for some snowmobile cross,
round three of the northern division of the Swedish champs.
Unless I am totally mistaken =)
Korpilombolo 1-2 of March.
Courtesy of the Shra Skellefteć timing crew.
Bought a new 17-55mm/f2.8 lens that needed to get some exercise.
Cloudy and rather grey weather isnt the best to start with,
but here are some pics anyways.
I do love the smell of twostrokers on a sunny winterday :)
Round four of the swedish iceracing championship for cars.
We're talking fast cars on tires with long spikes.
I wish the pics had turned out a bit better though...
But handheld at 340mm things could have been worse :)
Korpilombolo 29-30 of March.
Courtesy of the Shra Skellefteć timing crew.
Yepp, its time to go snowmobile dragracing vintagestyle again.
It got a bit cold towards the end, but it was fun
while it lasted :)
Here we go, first race of the season at a rather snowy Fällfors.
But then walls of snow is much more Norrland than Armco guardrails :-)
A day of Test'n'Tune in Ćmsele, and a taste of whats to come once
the dragracing season starts. But I hope the weather gets warmer :)
The ex military base in Ćmsele is once again the place to be with the Beemer club.
A warm and sunny day without sunblock, its amazing that I never learn...
Yepp, its the annual race arranged by Trottlarna
Souped up vintage twostrokers on a gocart track.
Great way to spend a Sunday.
So, here we go... first visit at a dragstrip of 2008.
Sunny, but not scorching hot, so I havent gone red and crispy.
Sunblock with SPF 30 does help =)
Weather started out great, but a it got a bit cold due to the wind towards the end.
But still at good day at the track.

22megs of mp4 with a resolution of 768x576 pixels.
Arrived a bit late on Saturday, which meant that I missed most of
the first round of qualifying by the Competition cars.
Weather was a bit cold,
and it started to rain by the end of the day.
Sunday was a complete writeoff.
Watched the rain in the pits until ~2pm
when I decided to head home instead...
the SHRA Skellefteć timing crew.
Official website for the compo is here
Yepp, I was there... and here are the pics.
And now I am off to bed :)
And here is day two in Piteć...
Since the weather had other things in mind the eliminations took
quite some time, and at 22:40 I caved in and went home instead.
So I missed out on a few runs at the end...

Here are fridays pics, now I am off to get some lunch :)
More pics will come as I get em done during the afternoon.
A thai curry chicken from

Once again we go to Fällfors for at Test'n'Tune/Streetrace afternoon.
Bit short on drivers, but everyone got to drive until they've had enough :)
Still missed the "sävarmaffia" though...
A grey, cold and slightly rainy Pite Dragway...
But it cleared up during the afternoon,
so we got a bit of racing going afterall :)
And here they are, the last batch from Piteć.
Weather was alot better, but summertime is over for sure.
An afternoon of fun in the sun...
Alot of rodders and a few turbomachines.
Perfect way to spend an outdoor saturday.

I brought the camera and took a few pictures,
mainly to test the new Nikon D300 I just bought.
But flash photography isnt really my bag of chips...
Luckily I got a bit of help from Fredrik ;-)

New camera once again, and not the ideal weather combined with a shaky hand.
Not a recipe for great pictures, but heres a few anyways...
last weekend so the pics are much better :)
Not really that much race, but there are worse ways to spend a saturday.
Im not entirely happy with pics, the lights really made it hard to get
any decent shots. A few hours with Lightroom saved a few though...
First Blackrace in Fällfors ever!
It was a loooong day,
setting everything up with the timing stuff took a few hours,
taking a few photos, and then packing everything up to go home...
But it was worth it. :)
Hot twostroke mopeds on a gocart track.
Arranged by Trottlarna.
Great day at the track!
Warm, sunny and quite dusty...
The north division of the swedish Beemer club had once again arranged a trackday at the
ex military airbase in Ćmsele. Took a few pics before the lens decided to call it quits...
Here we go... First dragstripvisit of the year.
Warm, sunny and almost not a cloud within sight.
And if you're wondering: yes, I did bring sunblock this time :)
So, here we go again...
Not quite as sunny as yesterday, but I dont mind.
Bring on the racers! :)
The plans for Sundsvall kinda went out the window for various reasons,
so blackrace it is... And here are the pics...

So finally, after a week of rain it cleared up just in time. :-)
Great day at the track, quite sunny but not too warm.
Top Doorslammer is without a doubt the favorite of the day.
Sooo... overslept a bit so I just had to skip breakfast to make up some time...
Time for round two at Lćngnäs =)
Time for eliminations...
Weather was perfect.
Slight breeze, a few clouds, but still warm.
Well, here we go again :)
Sunny, not too warm, with a pair of tiiiiny rainshowers before lunch.
So, here are the pictures from Sunday.
Weather was great. Warm, sunny and with a slight breeze.
Not my best work, so I wont be getting an Oscar for it... :)
But then again, you get what you pay for and the videocam was dirtcheap.

The weather took a turn for the worse once we had the timingstuff rigged.
A light rain started... fortunently it didnt get any worse and the track dried up.
So, here are a few pics and
five minutes of video at 360x288 pixels and 59megs.
Wasnt sure about when the first start was, so of course I missed first round for
a few classes. But there wasnt exactly a shortage of teams there...
Day two, and I overslept a bit...
But there was plenty of racing to be seen either way.
The rain delayed the qualifying rather badly.
It wasnt dry on the track until 3pm and then there was only
time for 2 hours of racing.
But then again, the weather gods always have the final word.
Sadly the weather gods had decided on rain...
I took just a handful of pics in the pits.
At 1pm the call was made and the whole thing got cancelled.
Time to go racing with the Beemer club in Ćmsele again...
It was quite cold, and a few rainshowers.
But all in all, a rather fun saturday.
2006
Weather looked ok, but the wind was quite cold from time to time.
And the start was delayed nearly 2 hours, due to track prepping.
I got a few pics once the race started though :)
The north division of the swedish Beemer club had a arranged a trackday
at the exmilitary airbase in Ćmsele. A good day of fun =)
Yes, I did forget the sunblock yet again...
But it was still a fun day at the track. =)
Brought sunblock today, and of course it was less sunny...
Although a bit short on drivers, quite an ok day.
Here is a short
movie.

Boring sunday...
Lets go watch some rallycross!
Yepp, it didnt rain this time =)
Quite a good weekend at the track. Rain was in the air at the finals...
But since Tage Avander took first place in Competition,
the rain afterwards didnt matter =)
but about 20 minutes is quite ok, dont expect a masterpiece in editing.

Raindrops keep falling on my head....
Crappy weather until around 12:30, so there was a limited amount of time
to run the qualifications. But apart from that it was quite okey.
Watching the return of the carbonfibre Volvo PV from Hunchback Racing was
the definitive highlight of the day... That car kicks ass.
Great weather, and some great dragracing!
This was the kinda weather we should have had yesterday...
You know, the carbonfibre Volvo PV...
Well worth the look!

Pretty good day, although a bit windy.
2005
Weather looked great when I woke up, but the wind was a bit annoying.
Thought I was gonna freeze my ears off so I looked like Kenny from South Park at the track.
Yes, its time for some more snowmobile cross.
Liked the weather better this weekend =)
First blackrace of 2005. A bit windy, but sunny and a good day.

Another day at the dragstrip.
Too bad it started to rain towards the end.
Sunny and nice at the track for the qualifying...
But as the eliminations started, the rain and thunder closed in.
5 mins after the finals and its raining...
A bit wobbly at some points since its a handheld videocam.

2004
Equipped with the new camera I was off to the track.
Took a while to get used to it, and the weather wasnt all that great.
So most didnt turn out that ok...
This time the pics turned out quite ok actually =)
Guess good daylight and some practice makes a difference...
Not really racerelated in anyway, but some very nice cars...
It was cold, windy and then the rain came... Apart from that, it was fun ;)
Left home while it was raining... Cleared up as I got to the track =)
Turned out to be a good day once the racing started.
Oh yeah, I tried to make a few movies with the camera, didnt work that great.
You'll be the judge... here they are
Another day at the track with great racing. More pics and a few movies.
Movies are to be found here
Its hot, sunny and with a slight breeze of wind...
Time for some rallycross! (complete with roaddust and all)
Started off a bit chilly and windy. Cloud scattered during the afternoon,
so we got a bit of sun. Btw, Nitro FunnyCar is pretty impressive =)
Back at the track. Weather is looking good.
Made a few movieclips with the camera as well. Not topnotch quality but...
Monika Öberg goes BOOM! during the last Top Fuel qualifingsession.
Nobody was hurt, the crew were busy taking it apart while Monika took care
of the cooking just 30 mins later...
Third day at the track. A bit tired from yesterday. Only got 5 hours of sleep.
A Coke and a hotdog for breakfast is the saviour ;)
This was an interesting form of motorsport. Never seen it before, actually.
It was the third round of the swedish championship.
4 movieclips
Klockarbäcken by night ;)
Late start due to rain during the night, 2.5 hours of qualifying and then
a quick rain came. Track clean and dry, just as the rain came back
for round 2... And that cancelled the rest of the qualifying.
Movieclips are here
A pretty good day of racing, eventhough the rain delayed the start a bit.
It cleared up, so we had a good day. 5 mins after the finals had been run
the sky turned pitch black and the rain came down again...
Movieclips are here
Turned out to be a good day at Klockarbäcken.
Tiresmoke, gasoline fumes and fast cars.
What else does a petrolhead need ? =)
Movieclips are here
Once again its time for some rallycross and banger racing. =)
