2009-12-30: Autumn It ´s been a slow season in the garage. I have started with the jigs for the suspension and so far made the two front upper A-arms. The rear uprights is back from Kephos treatment and the front uprights have been assembled. Thank's to help from the LFFR forum I have managed to make a new bearing for the gear linkage.

2009-09-20: RHK Final Falkenberg I managed to get some practice done at Anderstorp 2 weeks before the final and everything worked well. The weekend at Falkenberg however was troublesome. 5 min in to the first practice the battery went dead. I source another and did 2 more free runs with a best of 48:14 which was 1,5sec faster than the best lap set last year, so I was pretty confident for saturday qualifying. But I just got one flying lap before an oil hose let go. That put me on 18th position on the grid for the first race. Race 1: I made a decent start and got up to 10th place on lap 3 before the 2nd battery went dead! Both batteries failed within 45 min of running so at least the quality is consistent! Race 2: I had managed 50:33 in race 1 which put me on 9th position on the grid. The race however went smoothly and I was up to 3rd place on lap 5 and took the lead on lap 12 of 15 finishing the race first with an average lap time of 49,53. However as the start marshal had raised his hand and I rev´ed the engine the car rolled slightly, and I was penalised 30s for jumping the start. So at the end of the day I was 11t

2009-09-01: Workshop I have finally got around to fit the pedals in the Lotus 61, the master cylinders have been moved in front of the bulkhead tubes and new brackets have been made. All this is to gain 30mm of legroom. I have the narrow cockpit and I need all the space possible to fit in the car. The fire extinguisher just squezed in beside the fuel tank which have had a layer of GRP as per the FF regulations. My RF85 is once again the workshop for some prep work for the RHK-Cup final at Falkenberg on the 18-20th of September.
