Jimmy Ålund and Klintberg & Way US Tour

6-time back-to-back FIA European Pro Stock champion Jimmy Ålund of Norrköping, Sweden is to race selected NHRA events in the US during spring and summer 2010 and will not be defending a seventh European championship this season.

The team has scheduled 4 events with start in Charlotte, NC with the inaugural NHRA Nationals at Z-Max dragway March 25-28. Tour continues with NHRA National Events in Atlanta, GA May 14-16, Chicago, IL June 3-6 and ends in Englishtown, NJ June 10-13. During their stay the car will be stationed in the race shop of Pat Musi Performance, Carteret NJ were Pat and Robert Hallberg will be to their supporting service. They will not only host the car between races but also support Jimmy Ålund Racing with race transporter/trailer to use at the events.

Jimmy Ålund Racing long time engine builder Bob Ingels and J&B Performance is currently updating the engine for the Klintberg & Way Pontiac GTO and the team is confident they will have the horsepower to meet the American Pro Stock performance.

The car will be shipped in the good hands of Geodis Wilson freight management company and is scheduled to be back in Sweden in time for Veidec Festival at Mantorp Park. This will be the first European event for the team 2010 and the plan is to continue the FIA tour after this with the events at Hockenheim, Germany and Santa Pod, England.

- It will be a big thrill and a great challenge to race against the world elite in the tightest professional drag racing class around. We know we have the material to be in the field but do not come close to have the same experience as the American professionals and this is the big challenge for us – it will not be easy but we are not going there to have a pick-nick either, says Jimmy Ålund.

New European ProStock Records: 6,6492/207,07 MPH!

 

We would like to congratulate Richard 'Nixxon' Sundblom to the race win, well deserved after running consistantly fast all weekend.

Jimmy and crew did it again during 1st round of qualifying for the 2009 FIA European Pro Stock Championship: The new ET record run in details: 0,0093 RT, 0,9871 60ft, 4,2785/164,00 MPH 1/8, 6,6492 1/4. Later Jimmy also captured the new speed record which now reads 207,07 MPH. Jimmy's # 1 GTO broke with a engine failure during the final run against Nixxon's Cobalt.

But the 2009 FIA European Pro Stock Champion is multiple champ and ace driver Jimmy Ålund and his JJ Performance crew of Petter Greborn (clutch), Mats Appelgren (engine) and Kalle Hrupa (rear end).

The team would like to say THANK YOU to all our great sponsors for their participation under 2009! Please use our sponsors if you need a product or service supplied by them.
