After that there was no return, drag racing would be in Jockes future. In 2012, Jocke borrowed the Nova from his dad and the following year he tested it on the race track for the first time. His father Ulf has been in the business for a long time and has raced among other things, a Barracuda and a Nova. Jocke has been brought up with racing since childhood. Jocke is happy with all the updates on the Corvette. Or are there others that have adopted this? There is a lot going on in the race shops around the country right now, so it’s hard to be sure. Jocke may be the first drag racer in Sweden to mount it on a compressor engine. The system is common in turbo cars and is considerably stronger than the magneto systems. Everything worked perfectly at the first start-up, so it will be exciting to see how it works on the drag strip”. We removed the stone age magneto based ignition system. “The ignition system is brand new with separate ignition coils. “Everything is new in the engine,” says Jocke.

Jocke and his team have built a drag racing car during a couple of winters, which is a little out of the ordinary. Daniel Andersson (not in picture), Joakim Nickelsberg, Albin Lager, Johannes Westling, Joakim Andersson Jocke Andersson and the team are ready for racing. In The Unlimited Garage in Örebro, the Corvette C4 team is now doing fine tuning for that little extra, waiting for the Covid-19 situation to settle. Jocke Andersson is all ready and is eagerly waiting to get out on the drag strips and race.
