J&J Performance Racing
1986 - 1998
Jimmy started dragracing in 1986, bracketracing his -70 chevelle at Mantorp Park. After going thru a lot of different racecars that went faster and faster Jimmy and Kalle won the Prostreet championship together in 1998 with a -66 Chevelle that ran 7.60s on DOT tires.
1999-2001
Petter joined the team in 1999 and the following year they started racing a -67 Nova with a 605” and Lenco. The team was very successful in Super prostreet setting numerous track records and winning the championship both 2000 and 2001 going as fast as 6.97 at 200MPH.
2003
The team felt that it was time for a new challenge, so in 2003 they tried one of the toughest classes in dragracing PROSTOCK. The first season was way above expectations with second place in the FIA Championship.
2004
So for 2004 there was only one thing to shoot for. Bob Ingles at J&B Performance built a new motor and both the team and motor delivered, winning five races and becoming the first prostocker in Europe to run in the 6.8s and first to 200MPH.
2005-2006
After winning the FIA Championship in 2004 the team managed to do it again in 2005/2006. The team felt it would be hard to win another championship with the trusty Firebird so it was time for a new car. A state of the art Jerry Haas Pontiac GTO-06 was purchased in the states. With a new car and a new Bob Ingles motor they once again won the FIA Championship in 2007.
2008-
Up until now Jimmy has been doing all of the engine maintenance but for this upcoming season Mats Appelgren joined the team, Mats is a very talented engine builder with over 30 years experience of all kinds of race engines so he will for sure bring a lot of experience to the table.
