Power Street Finals Reunion 2009
I havenīt had the time to post pics from the last events I have visited. But here are some pics from the Power magazine Street Finals Reunion celebrating the time in the early 90īs when Power magazine shipped cars to Orlando Florida to race against American competitors. All cars had to make a Power tour to show that they were street worthy before they could compete.
Those were the days ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif My friends Johnnie(red 1963 Galaxie conv.) and Johnny(red supercharged 1970 442) when we arrived at Meca Raceway in Malmö, Aug 8 2009. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009001.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009002.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009045.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009043.jpg This is my old Chevy II ! http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009044.jpg 427 Galaxie.

And now the cars racing. The grandstands have been lowered so it wasnīt possible to take any good action-shots. This is what we saw....

Heīs called "Kjelle Power" over here. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009127.jpg He doesnīt want to talk about all the nice cars he has bought over the years. "Pure Power" is one of them. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009118.jpg http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ion2009020.jpg |

Re: Power Street Finals Reunion 2009
Thanks guys ! I hope you donīt get the impression that Iīm trying to show off or something. I just want to give you some insight in the history of American musclecars in Sweden. Just what Janne is writing a book about. Take a look ! www.scandinavianmusclecars.com
This is where the "Kjelle Power"-story started, at Tri-City-Dragway in 1967. He was a young student who got interested in dragracing and started writing articles in Start & Speed magazine. The pic is scanned from the Power Magazine Big Meet Special that I bought the other day. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/q...ePower1967.jpg |
