[youre-no-good]

Found a nice article, tried to translate it, sorry to all the swedes

Name: Angus young

Age: 36

Family: Married(I’m the child in our family)

Work: Guitarist in AC/DC

Lives: In Holland and Australia

Merits: Has sold a total of 80 million records over the world, latest studio album “Ballbreaker” has sold gold in Sweden(over 50 000 examples)

Currently: Got five plus for his concert in Globen, Stockholm, last Sunday, plays in Scadinavium, Gothenburg on Friday

(Under the picture)

Aroused by the crowd-very fun , says AC/DC’s guitarist Angus Young and pulls on the fiveplus shirt- the energy on the public exited us, he explains after the success concert in Globen last Sunday

(Main part)

It sat well, Angus

The AC/DC star: I’ll keep the fiveplus shirt on

AD/DC:S Angus Young happily rips on the the fiveplus shirt. Grins satisfying at the full scorer: -I’ll keep this on

Last Sunday rumbled the hard rock veterans AC/DC Globen. Charged to their teeth with old hits. Facts are, that Angus Young & co decided to thrash the record production after 1983, except for “Thunderstruck” och a few other tracks from the latest record, in favour of odd tracks like “Dog eat dog”, “Girls got rhythm” and “Shot down in flames”.

Yummy(?), felt an outsold Globen. It couldn’t be more Rock’n’Roll than this, thought Aftonbladets critic Annika Sundbaum-Melin and gave out five plus. Highest grade. A classic.

“Give the guy all the asks for”

When the band finds this out, spontaneous scenes of happiness breaks out:

-Give this guy all he asks for. Grunts the singer, Brian Johnson, encouraging to the representatives for the record company.

-Boze! Food! Women! Give the guy all he asks for, he continues. I ask for an interview with Angus Young-and sure-i get it. 155 centimetre Angus smiles happily when i explain my errand. That he’ll now get a fiveplus shirt. Just like the one Bruce Springsteen got recently:

-Thanks, very fun, he says and rips it on. Then happily poses with a smoke in his ear.

-It was a really good crowd, we haven’t been here for a long time;but it was a lot of energy out there. It’s exiting to play when the reaction from the crowd is so strong

•You chose to bet on safe cards and peeled off the last year’s records. Is that because the old drummer Phil Rudd have stepped into the band again? Does he not wanna play the new?

-Naah. We always play old stuff and we have a bunch of old songs to choose from. But it feels super good to have behind the drums again. Safe.

•You pulled your shorts down and flashed underwear with the Swedish flag on. Do you often wear just those underpants?

-You could say I often go in underwear. But sometimes without…

Race Report: Redemption 7 No Prep, Texas Motorplex

The new and highly anticipated format for the Redemption No Prep Series, presented by Scoggin Dickey Raceshop & Parts Center, kicked off at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas on May 26th. After several years of hosting independent no-prep events across Texas and Oklahoma, series director Shannon Morgan announced that Redemption will be a four-race points series in 2017, and for the first time, crown champions from among the fourteen class line-up at the end of the season. Word spread like wildfire, and eager racers jumped on the opportunity to chase this four race tour in hopes of claiming the first ever Redemption No Prep Series Championship crown.

The Texas Motorplex would not only host the season opener but the also the season finale October 27-28th. Additional stops at Tulsa Raceway Park on June 30-July 1st and San Antonio Raceway on September 1-2nd will complete the tour. A new feature for Redemption this year is the addition of a 5.80- and 6.50-index class as well as a junior dragster program, in an effort to attract new teams to the no prep scene and showcase the future generation of our sport. Needless to say, those class additions were well received as both index classes sold out at 32 cars in each field and the junior dragster drivers enjoyed their moment in the spotlight at the Motorplex.

With $120,000 up for grabs, more than 260 tech cards were sold. Seven classes were on the bill for Friday night with another seven set for action in Saturday’s main event. The rules were simple: this was an eighth mile contest, no times shown, with an instant green light at the starting line once both cars were properly staged. Burnouts were not permitted past the starting line, and any contact with the wall or crossing of the centerline resulted in immediate disqualification.

True Street was first class up, and after their mandatory thirty mile cruise, cars pulled straight into the staging lanes upon their return to the Texas Motorplex, with twenty minutes to make final preparations for first round. On an extremely fresh and un-groomed racetrack, unfortunate carnage unfolded quickly during the opening round.

In the third pair of cars down the track, the “First Lady of True Street” Lea Ochs went for a wild ride in her nitrous assisted “Lead Sled” 1978 Fairmont Wagon. Ochs lost traction and found herself in a scary fishtail which sent the car in a catapult across the centerline at high speed, resulting in a direct side impact with the guardrail. Ochs was alert and removed from the car with a severe concussion and badly bruised right arm- serious injuries, yet ones that she will fully recover from. Her team is already making plans for their rebuild, which will be another wagon, of course!

There were a handful of other incidents, but thankfully none with serious injuries. By the time round two came to the line, the starting line was hooking well, and drivers seemed to have a handle on the track conditions. Rounds continued smoothly as the fields were repeatedly cut in half and final round time was quickly approaching with big money on the line for Friday’s winners.

True Street welcomed Jason Doisher to the winners circle as he claimed $3,000 by defeating Rick Hilton. The biggest payday in Friday’s action went to Tony Thorn who claimed $8,000 in his winning effort over Kenjo Kelley in Small Tire. Tony Foulks wheeled his twin turbo Camaro from Oklahoma to a matching purse of $8,000 for his win in Old School Outlaw over Street Outlaws star Chuck Seitsinger in his Death Trap Mustang. Ray Garcia put his Camaro in the Sportsman class winner’s circle by taking out Scott Lassiter. Factory Street and Factory Truck were combined as Chris Dearmond took home $2,500 in his win over Brent Baker. Finally, the first ever Jr. Dragster winner in the Redemption No Prep Series was Addyson Owen who took out Ashton Meggison to win $300 cash money.

Though the on-track action had ended, competition moved to the food pavilion, as one hell of a showdown was just beginning in the practice tree race, which paid $2,000 cash to the winner. Top name no prep drivers like Kye Kelley, David “Bird” Jones, James “Birdman” Finney mixed it up with local heavy hitters from the bracket racing scene. In the wee hours of the morning, accomplished bracket racer Slate Cummings took home the cash.

After Friday’s full day of racing, a reasonable amount of fresh rubber had built up on the starting line, so Saturday’s traction issues were far less problematic. Instead of fish-tailing, white knuckle launches, the fans were treated with great side-by-side drag racing with the occasional bumper-draging wheelstand on Saturday. The real test came at the top end of the track, which had far less available grip than at the starting line. The driver’s ability to control the throttle down track would prevail over who had the most horsepower, in most cases.

Fields of more than 30 cars in Big Tire and Small Tire wowed the crowd, as some big names dropped like flies in round one. Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have become hot beds for fast racecars purpose-built for no prep racing. The locals would have plenty of competition as this event attracted teams from across the country, including racers from Illinois to Georgia..Whether you’re a Street Outlaws star or an unknown newcomer, every round proved to be a challenge, and several fan favorites met their demise early in competition.

In the Small Tire final round, Eric Stubbs from Beach City, Texas met Keith Szabo, who made the tow all the way from Gainesville, Georgia. This all twin turbo affair was neck and neck early, but Szabo lost traction at the 330′ mark, and that’s all Stubbs needed to streak ahead for the victory. Stubbs’ 2003 Ford Mustang, packing a 440 cubic-inch Ford small block boosted by twin 88mm turbos, scored its second no prep event win. There were plenty of happy faces1 in the winners circle as Stubbs scored $20,000 for his efforts.

“This win is huge for us. We struggled Friday with what we thought was a suspension issue but resulted in being a leaking transmission yoke. Once we solved that issue the car ran very well and we were able to get it done today. I’d like to thank Rey Gonzales, Shannon Morgan, Ron at Santhuff’s Suspension Specialists, David at Bullseye Turbochargers and Sean at Excessive Racing Engines for their support,” said Stubbs.

Big Tire action welcomed Jerry Bird and “The Probe” to the line against local favorite Spencer “Cornbread” Johnson for the final round. Bird was chasing his second straight Redemption Big Tire prize after winning the Tulsa event last November, while Johnson was hoping to put his ex-Warren Johnson Pro Stock machine, now turned outlaw grudge and no prep car, in the winners circle in his own backyard. In a very close race, Bird’s nitrous-assisted Probe took the win light by a slim margin. Tally another big payday for the Louisiana-based “Bird Boyz”, as they collected $20,000 and celebrated in the winners circle, reenacting a recent run in with the law which sent Bird for a night in jail during a street race in Texas just a few weeks prior. All in good fun and all smiles for Bird and company who will hold the points lead in Big Tire heading into the next event.

Outlaw Street dwindled down to Tim Oswalt’s black Ford Mustang from Alabama against Duane Biddle’s Mustang from Pflugerville, Texas. Off the line, Biddle’s machine reached for the sky and eventually grabbed rear bumper, while Oswalt went straight and true and right into the winners circle, scoring $7,000 in cold hard cash. King of the Tailgate honors went to John Dittmer from College Station, Texas who put his Chevy Luv in the winners circle by defeating Ray Espericueta’s Chevy S-10. Espericueta wasn’t left empty handed as his team won “Best Appearing Crew” and some gas money for the trip home to south Texas.

The finals concluded with the the 5.80 and 6.50 index classes. With a unique mix of both mild street cars and local index regulars, these classes provided some great side by side racing between feature rounds. It may be index, but with no times show and no track prep, it was anyone’s game at the starting line. Ryan Jock wheeled his first generation Chevy Camaro from Corsicana, Texas to the 5.80 win, defeating local favorite Rylan McClaskey, who just graduated from the junior dragster program. Jesse Garza made the tow from Austin, Texas and scored the 6.50 win in his first gen Camaro by defeating Cody Lange.

“I am very pleased with how our season opener went in Ennis,” said Shannon Morgan. “The racers were great, the crowd was great. This year is going to be full of action, and we are very excited about the next three races this season. I must thank Scoggin Dickey Raceshop & Parts Center, Chevrolet Performance, Phil’s Trailer Sales, Jegs, Continental Trailer, Weld Wheels, Texas Motorplex and all our many other sponsors for their support of Redemption. Also thank you to Trey Capps and NHRA for their help in getting Redemption on the stage at the NHRA Spring Nationals in Houston and we’ve been invited back for the Fall Nationals at Dallas in October with Big Tire cars.”

The next stop on the Redemption No Prep Series tour will be Oklahoma’s Tulsa Raceway Park on June 30-July 1st. For more information on the series visit www.redemptionnoprep.com.
