Folk Race


As part of my 30th birthday weekend I also arranged a Folk Race. Basically this is an old traditional type of race for Sweden. It used to be that you had to buy and old car for very little money...race it against your friends in a field and then sell the car.....at least thats my understanding. What it meant for us though was turning up and being given rear wheel drive beaten up old Volvo cars to race each other round a dirt track. It was great fun...although i didnt win. The weather was great and there were many friends from work and the UK with me. The racing was pretty difficult. You were not allowed to touch the other cars.....AT ALL. With a penalty of being banned from the rest of the days racing. On parts of the track it was so dusty and dirty you could literally not see the other cars which were no more than ten feet from you. It made for some interesting moments. Well done david for holding your monster moment together.....i was sure i was going to get past you!!!
