Two weeks ago a fantastic classic racing weekend took place at legendary Anderstorp Raceway in Sweden, hot weather, great track and a looong straight of 1,1 km. Sundays race saw a great Guzzi win by Eskil Tin(13 in the pic below) in the very fast and competitive Formula80-87 class. His bike - especially the frame - is a piece of art in homespun engineering and a well thought-of design. Probably lacking more than 50 Hp to the competition he lead by a fraction from the start to the finishing line. Great racing!
I cooked my 1082 engine at Anderstorp and had to borrow a Polizia 844 standard street engine for the Våler Raceway competition in Norway the following weekend (78 in the pic below), no time for spannering beyond swapping an engine... I'm racing in the class Forgotten Era72-79
Out of 14 on the grid in the Forgotten Era class, seven were Guzzis. We've grown to become quite a bunch of us at the races here! Knut Holte (14 in the pic below) came third on a 959 bike that had hardly been tested before the race, great effort!
Myself?...can't complain about an eighth place and my best lap time at this track, but I've got a long way up to reach the faster riders. I want my race engine back into the frame and perhaps chop-off a couple of seconds with help from the grunt in the ol'mill!
Next is two races in Sweden and one in Denmark, all in August. Time to spanner in July! Forza!
