Dynamite Blue Thunder HP8 & Sport nitro fuels

Available soon are Dynamite’s new Blue Thunder HP8 and Sport nitro fuels. Starting with the HP8 racing fuel, the juice was formulated by world-renown brand VP Racing Fuels and its 9 percent castor-enhanced blend will make for crisp throttle response without compromising internal component protection. The reduced oil content also allows the engine to achieve optimum operating temperature faster, allowing to fine-tune the engine with less warm-up time. The HP8 fuel is available in 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blends. Also new is the Sport fuel, developed by Ron Paris and formulated by VP Racing Fuels. A unique additive called ZX-7 provides over-lean indication protection, making it ideal for less-experienced users. On the track, if the engine is over-leaned, the driver will immediately notice that the car will hesitate during acceleration, indicating that it is time to pull in and richen the mixture. If the engine continues to run at these overly lean settings it will quit before damage to internal engine components occurs. Like HP8 the Sport fuel is available as 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blend.

Markus Hellquist doubles at Swedish Open Champs
Last weekend’s Swedish Open Championships in Åtvidaberg not only saw the running of the 1/12th Stock class but also Touring Modified and Stock, 1/12th Modified and Formula racing. Markus Hellquist, in best Jan Ratheisky fashion, attended in the three classes of Touring Modified, Formula and 1/12th Modified and he would also TQ all three categories although at first he struggled to get into grips in the 1/12th class. In the Touring Modified A-mains Markus then made a clean sweep by coming out fastest in A1 and A2 to grab the overall title with one leg to spare. Jonas Andersson would come in second, Niclas Nilsson ended the day in third.

Peter Bohman takes Swedish Open Champs title

The Swedish Open Championships were held this past weekend in Åtvidaberg in several electric on-road classes. In 1/12th Stock Peter Bohmann took the TQ with the fastest time in the qualifiers from Magnus Hedlund and Per Carlsson. The triple A-mains then were a mixed affair for the top guys as the small track made passing difficult and the back markers would play a significant role also. The opening A-main had Magnus Hedlund coming out successful with Peter Bohman ending in second only a second shy of Magnus. Marcus Andersson finished A1 in third. The second A-main then was an equally tight affair but this time the TQ holder came out fastest from Magnus in second and Per Carlsson in third. In the third and decisive main things got further mixed up with Per taking the win from Magnus and Peter. When the dust settled Peter grabbed the overall win although being tie on points with Magnus but the better tie-breaker handed him the 2016 1/12th Stock title.
