Our navigationsystem kept us going, as it calculated our traveling time left to be in Malmö in time for our last stop on the Tour The wednesday Night Street Race on Meca Raceway, which is a project, realized by the city of Malmö together with the enthusiast Car Clubs and companies in the racebusiness. Many cities around Europe, could and should take example of this. It is the worlds only permanent 201 m ( 1/ 8 mile ) dragstrip, and is now used every wednesday evening for racing, during summer season. Malmö, had a wery bad reputation and statistic in illegal street racing, and this was one of the rasons, why the idea of a permanent strip was born. In the outside of Malmö, in an industrial zone, the right place was found, in order to realize this unique track, which this first summer, has been proved to be in a wery hectic use, all wednesday evenings and in some weekends too. As a result, illegal racing in the Malmö area, has dropped almost to zero !

We left Risto and Virpi behind us , as they where travelling later with ferry from Rostock to Finland, and we drove fast thru Hamburg area and Denmark, and found it wery nice to meet up again with Toni & Mari, Jani & Mika, who we met at a gasstation near Copenhagen. After driving the 8 km bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö, we stopped at the first exit, where our dear friend from Skåne, Kristian, met us with his friends. Kristian, had earlier this summer prooved his skills in drifting and handeling cars on Alastaro Racetrack, and now we had the pleasure of spending an evening together, with Street Racing.

Kristians friend Razvan surprised us with a ultra cool red Tuned Supra, and together we shared the pleasure of entering the Street Racing community for a special Euro Tour parking, and taking part of the racing, going on for the wednesday evening . As sun was setting, various spectacular race and street cars from Southern Sweden and Denmark, hit the track, burned tires and set a time on the tracks timingsystem. We saw wery interesting cars of various styles, and some fast times. For instance an old VW Beetle with kompressor and aluminuim block from Brazil got our special attention, driving low 7 second passes.

Also the tuning cars where fast, but the american cars and bikes where this time the fastest. Especially a small Nova Station wagon performed wheel stands and passes in low 6 seconds.Over all the evening was wery interesting and pleasent, as the cars on hand represented everything from american Drag cars to bikes, Tuning cars, Hot Rods and Classical old and sport cars. As we checked in for a Hotel for the night in Malmö, talk at the nightbar was still going on, around the Skyline and the old VW Buss, with a 911 Porsche technique, rollcage, and 3 racechairs in the front cabin. Its always amazing, what can be completed and built, according to swedish laws. But further than that, You need to have the knowledge, the experience and the visionary inspiration to do something over the normal, and that, is something Vikings are known for.

GTi Magny Cours represented an ocean of cool fantasy creations in colours and bodymodifications from Spain to England, but to be honest, in the cars of the vikings, You will usually also find the interesting technique and the raw power. Street Racing in Malmö was the optimal ending to an unforgettable, almost 2 weeks travel on the road. On way home, we passed Mantorp strip, and could feel the power of Nitro competitions going on, and saw many Hot Rods on the roads, as we drove the last km to Stockholm, to enter the Viking ferry, and once again enjoy the culinarities of the Scandinavian "Smörgåsbord". Back in Finland, we were again after a breake, met by rain, rain and exceptional rain for this summer. The grey every day life did not bother, cause our mind where filled with experiences, memories and plans for next Tour.
