We took another trip to Fredriksborg ruin.

We went to play minigolf at Siggesta Gård, and celebrated our survival with an ice cream catapillar.

We went to Mariefred again.

There were some Funny Cars at Fly’n’drive, for a brief drag car show.

There was a meeting of the Corvette Club of Sweden met at Fly’n’drive.

We went to an air and car show at the same airstrip as the Drag Racing a few weeks back.

Gripsholms Slott is on the edge of the small town of Mariefred – we visited the castle last time, but not the town. Its a quaint little town on the waterfront with a view to the castle.

It was nice to see some street cars taking a run on the strip – the 9000s especially made good time, around 12 seconds standing quarter mile is not too shabby for a 10 year old stock car. Though I doubt mine will do that without a little tuning.

After waiting in the queue its time to step forward and warm your tyres for the take off.

A traffic queue like none I have ever seen, thousands of horsepower lined up waiting for burnout and take off.
