Default Mantorp Veidec Festival 2009

I went to Mantorp Park last Friday to get some action. I don´t go very often so it was nice to see the best European teams gathered for combat.


The track.


There were stock and super stock cars and there were pro stock cars and bikes as well.




A couple of super twin bikes.


One bike ripped his body in pieces and caused the track-crew to pick up parts all over the track.

The current European pro stock champion, Jimmy Ålund from Sweden, was there. That´s him in the far lane.


The best top fuel and top methanol dragster teams were there to.

Here is a pic of Mats Erikssons Crown Victoria pro mod. Mats who started racing in 1978, is the only European top fuel and funny car chassis builder. He runs ME Racing Service up north, up in Borlänge to be exact. Thanks to Murf McKinney in the USA, Mats and his son Lars-Göran can build chassis with the latest knowledge about safety and function. They are really top notch.
As of last year Mats was a member of the SFI committee for Pro Stock, and also for Top Fuel Dragsters. He was the only non American member.

Here are some more.





This replica Funny Car was built last year by the owner of the original "Tre Kronor" FC imported in 1979. I can´t remember who he bought the original from right now.
US driver Harlan Thompson, who drove the original FC in the 80´s, made an exhibition run pleasing the crowd.





I´ll get back with more later on.

Sweet shots!

Does that Peterbuilt have an Alabama license plate?

I guess the Alabama license plate is just there to give the extra touch of America to the team. Some guys sort of hide the Swedish plates under the bumper and put US plates up front.

The Camaro Club Sweden had some members at the race and they parked their cars by the CCS tent.

I walked through the pits to get some closer shots of the musclecars attending. Here are some of them.
