Full Pull

- Allingåbro Motor Festival 2009

In may me, Sussi and Mumbles went to Allingåbro for the annual diesel and rubber consumption.
The motor festival is basically a big site converted to a playground for 4X4's, pocket bikes, gocarts, motorcycles in all sizes and shapes, street and drag racers - and last but not least the tractors.
For a relatively "young" event (as I understand it, it only has a few years behind it), it was very well orchestrated, although the viewing facilities could be improved some. At times it felt like the festival was drowning in it's own success, making it a bit hard to actually get to see the action. Luckily I'm one tall mofu ;)


Beetle on the drag strip. Always nice.


Street bike burn out - timelapse.


Noisy drag bike. I disregarded the announcer's reminder to cover my ears for the 120dB output of this crotch rocket, and it felt like Manowar playing an entire gig, condensed into a split second, and stuffed into my ears... ouch!


Awesome hot rod - in satin black.


5x V8 should do the trick, yes?


It's hip to be square...


Getting a grip...


As Niels put it when watching this picture : So that's the reason for the greenhouse effect.


Just smokin'...


Liftoff...


Getting good speed.


There she goes................. and there she blows.


Digging in.


Nice pole...
