Hey everyone,
It looks like I have an internet connection so here’s a blog…. With no pictures… Hopefully I can post some race video footage tomorrow night.
I’m sitting in my hotel room after returning from the track and a quick stop (hamburger joint) for dinner. I’m staying at the Hotel Dunord in Linkoping. It’s around 10 minutes from the race track. It’s an older, small hotel but it has some character. Nice clean small rooms. Jeff and Leif’s brother Tommy are just down the hall (separate rooms!). The route to and from the track takes us right past the Saab aerospace plant. It’s been pretty wet today but most of the locals have said that the track should be in great shape for tomorrows racing. The forecast for tomorrow is calling for nice weather. That’s a big plus! Jeff and I got all signed in and our bikes went through tech with no issues.
I thought Randy Skiver’s tech inspections were sketchy until we went through tech inspection here… The track itself is fast and wide with a few long and short table top jumps along the way. The starting gate is 40 gates wide with a big long start straight. The setting is a lot like the Mid Ohio or the old Sears Point race. There’s road racing, trials, speedway as well as the motocross. Walking through the pits was interesting to say the least. Jeff and I were walking around checking everything out and a few people would start talking to us. Well…. Not understanding a word they were saying to us we would just smile and nod our heads yes and say the only Swedish word we know…. “Rovhol”…. They would stop talking to us after that…. Can’t imagine why?
That’s all for now…. Need to get some sleep… Big day tomorrow….
