New scenery trees - Pineswamp Targa Miglia

2008-07-31T12:01:00.000+02:00

As the progress on my hometrack slowly but steady goes on, there is at
present most of the work being done in the background. So therefore
some more accessories were ordered and arrived today. Great trees from
Woodland Scenics.

Fighter racing is the word for how intense the evening race was with
loads of laughters as MrTray at each deslotting lost track on where
his car was...so at some occasions he made us all laugh trying to find
out where the heck his car went off..:-))

Matsan had a rough deal to find his pace for racing as his Porsche
unpredictable deslotted a few times too many considering Matsans skill
as he is also competing in slotracing with Open12 wingcars...so arter
a quick decision he was permitted to race with the Megane.

The race victory finally went to ZeeJay as Manley who came second had
just one placement as third in one heat which of the four heats he had
place 1, 1, 3 & 2...red track is not Manleys favourite.. ;-)

Thanks to the racers attending this tuesday race!!!

The three of us that stayed for some more racing this sunday evening
also tried a new raceformat / raceclass with the small and very fun to
drive - Renault Clio's from Ninco.
Superbly fun rallycross racing and so great to see how the small cars
banged in to each other creating spectacular crashes. At one point,
ZeeJay crashed into MrTrays Clio and both cars were flying of the
track...Zeejays car did a high fly loop over the track fence and
landed far outside the track and om the floor..... :-) :-)

You might have been wondering why this blogg has the name Pineswamp
Targa Miglia. The reason for it is that one project i have is to make
a small home track with the influence of the two famous race tracks
naturally located in south Europe - Targa Florio and Mille Miglia.

Better Visual Overview

2008-07-17T16:26:00.000+02:00

At our clubtrack there was a need of better visual overview so
investments were made and now we have 4 lcd screens and on clubraces
also an projector to show laptimes and results.
This improvement really gives all drivers a great view on their
performance.

My first ever airbrushed car and the design and inspiration comes from
Pintando a la sombrita blog. For being my first paintproject with an
airbrush i must say I was very pleased with the result of it. For
sure, this is just the start of many cars to be airbrushed.

SignorAlfa did the most funniest thing right at the start in heat #4...Three cars left the startline at green light but...SignorAlfa's car did not move...after a short while SignorAlfa discovers that the controller that he pulled the trigger on all he could, without the car moving a single mm wasnt the one plugged into driverstation!?!?!!!

So - learn from SignorAlfa and check before start that you have the correct controller in your hand. :-)

STCC Gothenburg cityrace in June 2008 in full scale.....

On the 14th of June we were about ten racing interested friends that visited the STCC race in the center of the Gothenburg City. It was a sunny and warm summerday with perfect conditions for a great final race day.
Firs out was the tests and warm ups in front of the race and we also got to see lots of the pitlane areas.
One of my favourite races is the Porsche Carrera Cup and sadly the final was a long time under yellow flag so it didn´t get to be too much racing.
Then there was also the JTCC and Camaro Cup but most of all we got to see the final of the STCC race that really was a party. Results can be found in the links to right.

FROG Invitational race with TRS June 2008 in small scale....

After the racing at the track we went to our slotcar club facilities just ten minutes outside the city center.
This evening we arranged loads of racing heats such as Ninco SuperGT cars and also we race in team racing with slot.it cars....

Lot´s of good scottish whisky, some beersaucers and of course good beer made a nice foundation for fun...and fun we had....we started to race at around 19:00 and the last soul´s didn´t leave until the sun had rised and the time was almost 4:00 am.......

Winners of the Super GT was Borgis, one of FROG club members whom always have great speed on his slotcars....
Congratulations to Borgis!

Would also like to thanks TRS boys for coming down from Stockholm for to spend a weekend full of racing and fun....
Also a big thank you to Forsbacka Raceway that supported the racing with three of their members.....
