This year Adam Flamholc’s US based car is a ’63 Corvette originally built by Joe Martin Race Cars. For the first time Adam switched to the fastest of all door classes in the North American, Pro Extreme, with a plan to follow the PDRA series with a season opener in Texas in March. While the car is not new, it has won many events at very competitive series such as ADRL, PDRA and in Qatar’s ADRL. It’s a Joe Martin built car with which Adam seemed very satisfied during preliminary testing last December. Flamholc travelled back to Bradenton in January for his first race during the US Street Nationals and went all the way to the finals. But this did not come as early as hoped as the Swedish team struggled all weekend with broken parts and missed many testing and qualifying passes. In the end the car never made a run on the right lane and without any data, the team over-powered the track as it faced Todd Tutterow with team Galot, the strongest car of the weekend. But for Adam, it was not all loss as the event saw his personal best elapsed time of 3.61 seconds and should allow him enough time to get ready for the upcoming championship series. Note 1: Team Flamholc was subject of filming for the Canadian branch of the Discovery Channel. It should take about 6 months before release, but no announcement was made as to what nations will play the programme. Note 2: There was a large group of Swedish friends visiting from Sweden and Malmö in particular, many of them racers themselves. Lots of these hands contributed to the large amount of work needed and done on the car to fix some of the rather destructive problems the team encountered. This was pretty amazing and should show in the Discovery Channel episode. |
