Team Kendall Racing ready for Veidec Festival

This will be the first race of this season for us and we are really looking forward to put on a good show in front of the huge crowd and all our fans at our home track.

As some of you might know, we have been updating our chassis during the off season and we have been in Malmö at Veidec Raceway in May running a 4.07 sec run and we have also set a new speed record for the track at 307 km/h, clicking the throttle off early at both runs.

On Wednesday next week we will load the bike and all our equipment in to our trailer and on Thursday morning the team will start the three hour drive to the track and prepare the bike for the race.

Our families and friends will meet up at the track on Friday and we are really looking forward to the race where we will try to improve both our European records from last year. The race last year didn’t go as smooth as we were hoping for after we lost the power supply to the battery at about 100 metres in to the semi finals, where we unfortunately were beaten by our good friend Rikard Gustavsson, on his record setting Funny Bike.

At the race this year we will be testing a new set up and if everything goes our way we will hopefully run a bit faster than last year. In our opinion the track conditions this year will be even better than last year, with a new layer of asphalt the first 150 metres and hopefully good weather conditions as always at Mantorp, so we must say that it is really looking promising.

This year at the track we will be selling our new T-shirt and we also have a new "Hand Out" (designed by Stefan Boman) that we will give out for free to all our fans as long as they last.
