Orsa Bike Weekend

Pelle valde den här helgen att köra Orsa Bike Weekend i stället för att köra Piteå med de andra killarna. Pelle tog det beslutet för att få mer körvana på nya cykeln.

Tävlingarna började på fredagen med 4 repor. De tre första reporna spann Pelle på 4:an, 5:an och 6:an den fjärde repan hade Pelle fäste från start till mål vilket resulterade i att Pelle slog till med nytt personbästa på 8,55 och 277 km/h.

Lördagen har bjudit på solsken och 4 stycken körda repor med jämna fina tider. Dagen avslutades med 8,57 i sista repan.

I morgon söndag körs först en eller två kvalrepor innan eliminerinen drar igång klockan 12.
Pelle är mer än nöjd och är lika förtjust som en 4 åring på julafton!

Med i Orsa är även Häggen som har kört fina 8,57 med sin nya hoj. Även Patrik Lindgren som köpte Pelles gamla hoj är i Orsa och har kört 9,25 i sina första repor på sin nya hoj!

Over and Out från Anna eftersom Pelle glömde datorn hemma!

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

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.

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).
