Hi All

I think I mentioned that I am crewing for a Swedish ProMod this weekend for an old friend of mine (Mats Wiktor)...at the Pod.

Here is a photo of the engine.....



Its a 13.5 ltr V8 that makes our 928s look a little small lol....

It ran a test run today at the Pod...without Nitrous to get a base line...only 7.6 seconds....

Tomorrow the team will turn on the Nitrous....and Sunday I get there to crew for the semi finals and finals.... that's when it gets really fast lol....

All the best Brett

Hi Brett,

Bit late to post this, but good luck on Sunday.

I went to the Pod Yesterday (Saturday), and had a great day. It was totally nuts!! Considering that it is a European Championship, it is great value for money (compared to say a ticket to the British GP!).

Hi David

Both good and bad news....lol

Mats ran a PB of 6.666 at 206 mph....

The bad news is that due to a pre existing problem we used around 60% of our Nitrous capability only and he burnt out a valve and guide and also took out a piston and liner

Which meant no more weekend for the car, even though that one run , qualified us...

As the engine needs machining for the new liner etc, its back to Sweden for Mats and the Pro Mod Car, which is a huge shame as we were expecting a low 6 on the next run, or even a high 5 ...

Good day at the Pod though, fantastic sunny day and it was totally packed.

Better luck next time maybe....

All the best Brett
