Post by: 428 GALAXIE on July 10, 2023, 12:26:56 AM

Here's few pic's from Mantorp park starting day of the Street week.
This is a 6 day ( one day rest in Wednesday) in Southern Sweden.
Everything considered there where plentiful fast cars and about 200 started the week.

Allmoust forgot this and really don't know if anyone is interested but here goes anyway.
One of those to do things for me has been to watch Dragweek on spot but traveling to States and trip costs and ain't always possible. Last winter I decided I'll have to do some sort trip to watch drag and drive event and remembered Streetweek in Sweden in neighbor country. So called to my ex work buddy if he's up for a little road trip to Sweden and sure enough he was.
So we left Friday morning towards Turku with my 65 Gal. Weather  bit rainy but all and all nice so we got to near to Turku whitout any trouble rested there in small rental cabin and headed in the morning to ferry from Finland to Sweden.
In the evening we arrived to Stockholm and headed towards Linköping near the track of Mantorp.
Sunday morning we headed to track and got first minor hick up in our transport, Galaxie started to sputter at idle and finally lost its idle at the line to the track. My mate pushed the car to the track gate and we started wonder what's wrong. Car started after it had cooled down (totally my stupidity due last minute electric fuel pump assembly and putting fuel lines in the hottest place in engine bay...).
Well we got to track and went see the race .
To be continued cause this a bit hard on a mobile.

Looks like a pretty interesting variety of vehicles. I don't attend events here, as it seems to always be the same cars. Variety is the spice of life!

If i understood right they got it just running,  nevertheless it's a "funny" car. What's the thing with Swedes with fast opels ?
