Micke's VS1 attacking on the inside.

Its a Hot Shot cowl on Bosses VS1 - looks strange. ;)

Mattias "Benke" Bengtsson's HTB was outstanding this weekend.

Its me on the inside of Stefan's HTB - looks good but I rolled it 2 meters after this shot.

This is actually just before the shot here above. Wide in - fast out was the idea. Then I rolled it. LOL

OTA Tunnels Eksjö May 29

Saturday May 29 the outboard tunnel season began with the first nats of 2010 in Eksjö. We had good weather but there was some rain showers and a little bit of wind in some heats, but generally very good race weather. Local outboard racer Mattias "Benke" Bengtsson was TQ with his VS1 tunnel but somebody accidentally kicked it on the pontoon before the 8-lap final so he had to use his HTB290 instead! But his HTB was equally good so he could almost cruise to victory.

I was third in qualifying but had the inside lane at the start of the 8-lap final and its a 1-buoy-180-deg-turn at the start = VERY tight. My VS1 doesn't really like the tight turns so I was slightly wide there at corner exit and crashed when somebody wanted my lane-space from the outside and I DNF:ed...

Sune Persson is now my hero - check these prices for the top-3! Awesome to say the least. Sune has handmade all parts including the box they came in himself... Speechless...

Mattias VS1 in practice/qualifying. Quickest this day.

Mundhenke's tunnel.

Another picture of Mattias VS1.

The start is a stand-still one and all are released at "0" time. The track is a 3-leg course and the start is always towards the top buoy.

Stefan Adolfsson's HTB290 in qualifying.

Start fast and turn right. The other buoy to the right is not included in the tunnel course, thats buoy 4 in the hydro oval...

Next nats is in Ludvika July 3-4. Click HERE and HERE for a reminder of last years race.

Swedish nats round 3 in OTA

This past weekend (Saturday August 22) we race our third nats in the stock outboard tunnel class. Normally we race at the same time as the heat racing outriggers but this race was a little special. It was held in the middle of Norrköping in the river of "Motala ström". This weekend it was an city festival also so it was plenty of people checking it out. Overall it was a good race with nice weather but with strange water conditions. More on that later on...

More pics from the race can be found HERE (I borrowed a few).

There was already a pontoon in the river that is used for the local city sport fishing guys. It was perfect for our pits!

Upstream the river is a few water-energy gates and just the day before the race the energy company decided to open up the gates so the flow of excess water was about 3 times more then normal. The wave conditions changed from one minute to the other because of that. The wind did nothing for the waves... Strange. At some point it looked like the buoys would be dragged down below the surface. The wakes that the buoys themselves created was intense at times!

As said. It was in the middle of the town. This is the start for one of the heats.


Strange waves again...


The top buoy is an 180 deg turn.

There is a smaller pontoon to the right that you dont see from this pics from which we launched the boats and drove from.

This was a calm heat - lucky guys.


This was a not so calm heat. Christer gets air born and Stefan nose dives...




Stefan Adolfsson (right) and mechanic Staffan (left). This was Stefan's first RC boat race - I think he liked it.

Christer wrenching on his now "dead" James Clegg built HTB290. In practice his radio connection was dead when at full throttle towards the pontoon. He hit the pontoon dead on and the boat was crashed (we suspect a battery connector came lose). Luckily it did not go on top of the pontoon so no one was hurt. But the hull is no more...



If you're into RC car racing on an international level you have most likely met this guy. It's my old friend Erhard Mathiesen - or better known as "Dallas". Dallas is the president of IFMAR and EFRA (the world wide federation of RC cars and the European RC car federation). Norrköping is his home town and he came down for a visit. Personally I thought that he would be in Switzerland for the IFMAR worlds in 1/8 on-road cars but he left early as he had some obligations at his home turf.

BTW, Lamberto Collari from Italy won it AGAIN. Here's some info of that race.
