Presentation and old photos in my drawer

[Nova67ss]

A short presentation off me Nova67ss, Born as Anders Forsberg in 1957.
Im a farily nice guy with sometimes attitude and a sense of humor the scandinavian way. some have become my friends and some hate my guts..

Thats the normal way of life, U cant love everybody..

And Im not affraid of telling my opinion on things from time to time and even some advice..

Some have also asked Q about my knowledge about racing, american cars and Syclone in perticular.

well the last one is the easyest to answer, Ive been a close friend to Robert for the past 8-9 years and we´ve discussed racing, engines and chassies for maaaanya of times and thru HIM I´ve learned what I know about Syclone´s..

But my "careere" as a racer/engine and car builder started around -73-74 with scrapyard cars and "demolition derby´s" in big gravel hole quarry where we just smached the cars to peaces. lots of fun.

in -75 I went on for Ralley in a BMW 2002, and when I thought I had a mean Beemeer I was "killed" on the streets by a Chevy malibu with a 4 on the floor and from here I whent street AND drag racing for good.

Ive allready gotten into the US cars with friend that I helped wrenching, on ther´s Mustang and Satelites and corvettes.

I have had a loong break in the racing due to marriage, house, ( did some small driver and wrench asist from time to time) moving, child, and divorce but from about -99 Im back on track, at first with a impala -96 ss for a couple of years and tru him I met Robert. and the rest is history..

Still workin on my Nova 67 ss, hoping to finnish it of so I can take it to the track
BUT Ive had some other fun cars . A Nova 66 4dorr "sleeper". a Nova 72 BB with 4 on the floor and 4link cage and huge rear tires (that was one of my most fun cars)

Now U see why I´m called Nova [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

But My first car was a Pontiac Firebird 400 -67 that I raced for a couple of years bouth on track and streets..made some 12,80 Et on a 115-116 MPH the converter was the missing link it was a 2500 rpm unit to a engine that started to live AFTER 3500 rpm.. but heck I was only 20-22 and learning [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]



I´ll try to get all my photos to a scanner this pic aint no good but its a try, bad scanner though.

This is from a &quot;pinkslip&quot; street race in early -82 I was a hotshot from the busches ( Ånge, about 64 miles away) and was down to the city of Sundsvall to make some race´s a friend set up for me, but the other guys backed of when they recogniced me from a racetrack in Hudiksvall (63 miles awayfrom this city) Ive competed on erlier this summer and done a couple of &quot;runner up&quot; results on that track with lots of THEN fast cars..

As Robert does, I do my own engine work (besides mashine operations) and also chassie and rearends and alot more, learned the long way, also Ive atended the Herb Adams Chassie seminar when he was to Sweden the last time THAT was and eye opener and just made the teory on why some adjustments in IRL did work and others not,

And here´s a future race team?!?! IF I can convince my son tha car´s are more fun than computers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]
