Hi there, Nic here again. Well, I’ve been out of the loop for a few weeks because I’ve been in Europe testing on a project that is supported and involves GM Motorsports. The project is based on the new Camaro for the Scandinavian market. They are racing in something they call the Camaro Cup in Sweden and it’s very popular. It’s similar to what Trans-Am has here in the States. The new Camaro is based on a tube frame chassis built in the United States by HOWE Racing, who...

Hey Nic Jonsson here again! I hope you all have had a good week. Personally I have had a very busy but great week since you last heard from me. My parents and other in-laws have gone back home to Sweden after visiting the last 3 weeks. It’s great to have mom and dad around and see how much they enjoy their little grandson Max. It’s difficult when they leave since you know it will be a while before you see them again. It’s also hard to get Max back into the normal routine since...

Hey there, Nic Jonsson here! Going to Barber Motorsports Park this past weekend was something I was really looking forward to for many different reasons. The main reason was that I had very high hopes that we were going to be really competitive with the Proto Auto Lola at this track. It’s a technical and a “down force” demanding circuit and the Lola is a good down force car so it should have been a match but for some reason we really struggled in practice and qualifying to get...

“Racing at Barber Motorsports Park”
Hey there, Nic Jonsson here. Now that we have reached the mid-point of this race season, we at Krohn Racing have changed our goals for the remainder of this season. We’ve had a lot of up and downs, with the highs being the win at New Jersey in the rain and our 2nd place finish at Mid-Ohio a couple of weeks ago. Without getting into too many details about our lows, so far this season I have to say it was the 24 hour race in Daytona. That...

Hey Nic Jonsson here!
This was the first week in a long time I have not had a race on the schedule. However, I did go to Kershaw in South Carolina to test a couple of days with some of our Kinetic Motorsports clients. We were able to get valuable track time which gave us an opportunity to actually work on driver coaching. We typically never have time to do this during a normal race weekend since there is no way the organizers could give each class the required track time for something...

Nic jonsson here again! After having been away in Europe for the past week on racing duties and competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where we finished 3rd in the GT2 class, I’m very happy that my dad came to the race and hung out with me for the week. Unfortunately, he does not get to go to a lot of races every year since he and my mom still live in Sweden and work full time. In the past, when I was still racing in Europe, he never missed one of my races so it was great to have him...

Hi, Nic Jonsson here! I hope all of you have had a good week and enjoying nice weather. Here in Atlanta, we have had a beautiful summer weekend. There has not been any racing last week and that felt a little unusual. At Kinetic Motorsports, we have been getting geared up for the Watkins Glen, KONI Challenge race where we are running three –BMW E46’s this weekend. We decided to get the E92 V8 BMW M3 sorted out before taking it to the Glen. It’s always really hard when...

Hi Nic Jonsson here! This past week and weekend has been a nerve racking one with a lot of racing going on but for me, it was just as a spectator in front of the TV. This is the first time in many years I did not go to Lime Rock Park for the traditional Memorial Day weekend race there. I’ve been participating there every year since 1999 in either the ALMS, SPEED World Challenge or KONI Challenge. This year, I had to keep myself updated via internet and many phone calls to see how my...

Hi Nic here again! Mazda Raceway is one of those places that make you love racing if you have a good weekend. On the other hand, if you don’t have good race, it also makes you feel miserable. This track is famous for its steep elevation changes, low grip and the single most famous corner, the “corkscrew”. This past weekend, this corner made my experience at Laguna miserable after I made a mistake upon entry in the corkscrew. I came in slightly too deep and missed the apex...
