          Nov. 08         I have named the car Evil because i think it is ??
                               Got a little test at Gjerstadsladden 1. nov. This was a speed trial only
                               It was fun to race again, even if i quit after the first round because of a broken Bumpstop standing into the spring
                               But i`ve got the third best time in round one, ended on fourth place this race and thats not bad in the first race with a new car
                                                                            
                               The good thing was to beat the crap out of the car too see what it stands for and fixe it for the next season
                               And to see that my welds are ok, it was the frame that broke !!
                               See Video here                               
                             
          Oct. 08          The plan was to drive at Matrand 4-5 so i worked some late nights to get ready.
                               Friday i canselled the saturday saturday race, late saturday i was trying the wheels to check how it fits
                               with the fiberglass body. The body was`nt a problem but the brakes was. I have new calippers rear since
                               lat time and they where to big in the wheels so i decided to give up, go home and get me a good cold beer
                               I`ll try again at Gjerstadsladden
 
          Aug 08          And here is the reason, i was hoping i had assembled something wrong but no, i think the block got some
                               real beating pulling out 850 Hp with only the inner main bolts holding it together
                                                              
                              
 
          July 08          Final dynorun my a.. This engine is pure evil. Last time in the dyno we got about 60 psi of oil pressure
                               all day long. Now it went down to 30 psi before we even got to make some real power.
                               Tried new oil and filter, tried new oilpump, same low pressure. This is it, i`m putting my old engine in
                               and load it with nitrous
                               .
 
          June/July 08 Too much rock`n roll in june and vacation in july means i`ll be back in the end of july with
                               the final Dynorun 28/7
                               Sweden RockFestival 6-8 / 6 was sunny as always and with Hanoi Rocks, Poison, Saxon etc. etc.
                               on stage it was a good weekend
                               This weekend 27 - 28/6 its Sex Pistols, WASP, Hanoi Rocks etc. on Peace & Love festival in Borlänge Sweden
 
 
          April/May 08 The thread insert`s are in the house
 
             March 08                                853 Hp without nitrous
                     thanks to
       
 
          The plan was to Dyno the engine with NOS the day after just to see the magic 1000Hp, but after an inspection of the main bearings
          i pulled the threads out of the outer bolts on the main bearing caps. I think it`s because the bolts are to short and the torque is
          too high (110 ft/lbs) The bolts are only threading 18-19mm into the block leaving 11-12mm unused threads left in the hole ???
          I have contacted World Products for a comment, and they say 110 ft/lbs is OK ??? And ARP for new studs, and their instruction
          says 90 ft/lbs
