FIA
European Prostock Champions 2012!!
This is the
first year we do a full season in Prostock, and what a season. The championship
have 6 races, but hockenheim were canceled due to a bad track, so with only 5
races left we did 2 win, and 2 times runner up, trackreckords in Alastaro and
Tierp, European speed record at the Main event, low ET at all events, and nr
one qualifier 4 times. We are the first in Europe to ever win the championship
with a Dodge, and we are proud to put Mopar on the pole.
To win a championship
you need sponsors, knowledge, hard working crew and ofcourse a Hemipowered
Dodge. We got it all.
I will
start with the most important, The sponsors. Stefan Ernryd from Ernryd cars,
Stockholm, is our main sponsor, without him, nothing of this would have been
possible. This is the second year he is with us and he becomes more and more a
valuable member of the team for each race.
We cant thank you enough, but ill hope the big trophee will make you
sleep better at night. You are simply the best!!!
The rest of
sponsors are ofcourse not to be forgotten. Wrapzone, that made an awesome work
and made our trailer the best looking in Europe, if you doubt check the
pictures on our website www.teamrt.se. DK Lyft & Transport made us able to
travel around in Europe with a smile on our faces. Verkstadspartner was there
when we needed to look good. Snap ON and Peter Hult gave us the key to win
races with the best tool a prostocker needs. Jungarve Bygg is the only name you need to know if you ever
needs any help with your building projects at home. IAL Skadejour is the best
got damn guys in town when coming to cleaning pipes. De palma have the coolest
outfit you ever need to wear, Huddinge snickeri is the specialists in fine carpenting.
R/T Bil&Maskin in Sätra, Stockholm, takes care of your car with tires,
service, cambelts, ac services and more.
Knowledge…Learning by doing is what we are
trying to do. Not always an easy way, but the only way if you wants to be a good racecar tuner, We have a long way
to go before we know it all, and probably no one ever will. This season we have
tuned The Dodge ourselves, with some brainstorming with Tommy Leindahl, Henrik
Modigh and our Mentor and Mopar guru Jari Konola. Thanks for everything boys.
The Crew…well, as a driver I can just say one
thing…There is not possible to get a better team then we got…maybe the morning
eggs could be a little less overcooked but that’s all. Tony who takes care of
the rear end of the car and adjusts the wheeliebars. Roffe, co owner and
crewshief, he tunes the transmission and clutch. Thomas, co owner, makes the
Hemi stick together, drives the car, and he loves it. Andy, the masterchef, he
does us all happy with his gastronomical knowledge. Igge, truckdriver, t-shirt
sales manager and a long helping hand when needed. Tommy Ledberg, our own tv
producer, movie maker, and photograph.
And ofcourse a special thanks to our loveones, Nina, Sofia and Veronica,
you make our lifes worth living when not winning championhips. We know that it
is long days in the garage sometimes, we know that we are far away when we go
racing, and we know that it isn’t always easy to live with us…but from the
bottom of our hearts, we love you, and we always will.
Now the
season is over…and we made it….we are number one. We have managed to do what
few people in this world have accieved….to fight the best, and win.
Thank you all for this season, and watch out
for PRO 1 next year in Protock, Mopar will rule the world forever
See you all
in 2013
