Vi har kontakt med omvärlden!!!!

Högst, högst upp på läktaren finns det faktiskt mottagning, en ynka liten plupp på mottagningen gör att vi kommer kunna blogga under helgen!

Inläggen kommer kanske inte bli så många men vi skall försöka hålla er uppdaterade.

Så här ser Lördagen ut:

Sundsvall bjuder på kanonväder, även om hösten ligger i luften så skiner solen från en klarblå himmel. Publiken fullkomligt strömmar in, läktarna kommer att fyllas till bredden med 8000-10000 personer!
Fasta körtider för ProStreet Bike är klockan 11,14 och 17!

Matte Bohln är kvaletta, Pelle två och Källgren trea.

Källgren tog igår svenkst rekord i hastighet 292 km/h, STORT grattis säger vi i Holeshot!
HG, Kim, Waschman och Pelle tog alla personligt rekord, så idag kan verkligen allt hända!

Kräftskivan igår var jätte trevlig, 45 personer var med och sörplade i HG´s tält, tack HG för att du orkade släpa med dig tältet, storbildsskärm och projektor!

Dragracing for Dummies (ordlista med Dragracing termer, engelska uttryck används även i Sverige)

Air foil: the same as a wing — a stabilizer, generally used to create downforce, which increases stability and tire-to-track adherence at high speeds.

Breakout: Used only in handicap racing, “breakout” refers to a contestant running quicker than he or she “dialed” his or her vehicle (predicted how quick it would run). Unless the opponent commits a more serious foul (e.g., red-lights, crosses the centerline, or fails a post-race inspection), the driver who breaks out loses. If both drivers break out, the one who runs closest to his or her dial is the winner.

Burnout: spinning the rear tires in water to heat and clean them prior to a run for better traction. A burnout precedes every run.

Christmas Tree: Also called the Tree, it is the noticeable electronic starting device between the lanes on the starting line. It displays a calibrated-light countdown for each driver.

Clutch Lockup: The progression of clutch-disc engagement controlled by an air-timer management system.

Deep stage: to roll a few inches farther into the beams after staging, which causes the pre-stage lights to go out. In that position, a driver is closer to the finish line but dangerously close to a foul start.

Elapsed time: the time it takes a vehicle to travel from the starting line to the finish line. Also called e.t.

Eliminations: After qualifying, vehicles race two at a time, resulting in one winner from each pair. Winners continue in tournament-style competition until one remains.

Foul start: indicated by a red light on the Christmas Tree when a car has left the starting line before the green light, or starting signal.

Holeshot: when a driver reacts quicker to the Christmas Tree to win a race against an opponent with a quicker e.t.

Index: the expected performance for vehicles in a class as assigned by NHRA. It allows various classes of cars in the same category to race together competitively.

Methanol: pure methyl alcohol produced by synthesis; used in Top Alcohol Dragsters and Top Alcohol Funny Cars.

Nitromethane: Produced specifically as a fuel for drag racing, it is the result of a chemical reaction between nitric acid and propane.

Pre-stage: to position the front wheels about seven inches behind the starting line so the small yellow lights atop that driver’s side of the Christmas Tree are glowing. The next step is to stage and be ready to race.

Pro Tree: used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street, which feature heads-up competition. All three large amber lights on the Christmas Tree flash simultaneously, followed four-tenths of a second later by the green starting light.

Reaction time: the time it takes a driver to react to the green starting light on the Christmas Tree, measured in thousandths of a second. The reaction-time counter begins when the last amber light flashes on the Tree and stops when the vehicle clears the stage beam.

Sixty-foot time: the time it takes a vehicle to cover the first 60 feet of the racetrack. It is the most accurate measure of the launch from the starting line and in most cases determines how quick the rest of the run will be.

Speed trap: the final 66 feet to the finish line where speed is recorded.

Stage: to position the front wheels right on the starting line so the small yellow lights below the pre-stage lights are glowing. Once both drivers are staged, the calibrated countdown (see Christmas Tree) may begin.

Turbocharger: an exhaust-driven intake air compressor (see supercharger).

Wheelie bar(s): used to prevent excessive front-wheel lift
