 NEXT RACE KOUVOLA 26.07.2008

 HAPPY BEACH 12.07.2008
 Result: 1th in my class and 1th overall
 Happy Beach sprint this year was really Happy Beach, finaly I got my first victory!
 What´s better yet is that it was the second race of the future Rallisprint cup and I got full pot. The first run
 went very well and in dry conditions, under my second run it started to rain hewelly. The car works really
 well and I am exited to go to Kouvola for the third race of the cup.


 ISO-SYÖTE HILLCLIMB 20.06.2008
 Result: 2th in my class and 4th overall
 The hillclimb in iso-syöte is not part of Future Rallisprint cup, but it has become an midsummer tradition for us.
 This time we had the new engine installed, and the dyno tests had shown good results. In the practice run the
 day before raceday I got the fastest time overall. First run on raceday went without problems and I got the second
 fastest time overall behind a Mistubishi lancer evo 9. Then in the second run I made a mistake in the final 
 corner and thid not improve my time from the first run, so I droped to 2nd and 4th.

 RAAHE 10.05.2008
 Result: 15th in my class and 30th overall
 The sprint in Raahe was the first race of the 2008th season and also the the first race of the Future
Rallisrint cup.
 I had to use the 1,6l engine cause I had not got all parts for the 2,0 liter engine yet. The race itself did not go
 well, lots of missed gears and other misstakes related to the first race of the season. 

 HAPPY BEACH 14.07.2007
 Result: 11th in my class and 28th overall
 Happy Beach sprint is allways a nice race to take part in, so an experiment engine were built to this race.
 It is an Bmw 1,6 l M10 turbo engine with allmost 300 hp. Unfortunately it rained all day and this race were a
 disaster for us. The 1,6 liter engine were pretty much undriveble in the rain.

 ISO-SYÖTE HILLCLIMB 22.06.2007
 Result: 3rd in my class and 7th overall
 The hillclimb in Iso-Syöte is the only race where a practice runs are allowed, they are ran the day before
 the race. My practice run were very competitive, and I aimed for my first victory at raceday.
 But someting happend to the engine in the first run on raceday, half way in on the stage the engine
 started to lose power. I completed the stage and got a nice podium finish anyway, but the engine
 werent what it used to be.
 
 JYVÄSKYLÄ 10.06.2007
 Result: 2nd in my class and 2nd overall
 I am getting more and more used to the car and able to push it nearer the limit.
 Besides, this track in Jyväskylä suits the car very well. There are a video from the race at
 www.rallikuvat.net/videot2-2007.php and pictures at
 www.fotohana.fi/2007/index.php?action=showgal&cat=1472
 
 IKALIS 02.06.2007
 Result: 3rd in my class and 5th overall
 This time it went a lot better, no gearstick breakdowns this time. I was very satisfied whit the result from this
 race. But the weather was very hot and the engine ran a little bit to warm, so before next race 
 I have mounted an extra fan and I am also going to try Water Wetter.

 RAAHE 05.05.2007
 result: non
 Only a few weeks remained and the new motor where still in pieces, but we managed to get it together.
 We mapped the engine on the weekend before the race, and it showed that the winters efforts had payed of.
 We did not have time to test much before raceweekend, so we decided to take it easy this weekend and test
 the new engine.
 In the first run i got to the second corner and then the gearshift broke. In the pause between runs I managed
 to get it welded together, just to experience the same thing in the second run.
 It later showed that the gearstick where full of cracks, a new one was ordered right away.
