The 2023 Trafikjournalen 24h of clunkers - (END OF RACE!)

The Erikssons

Post 4 - Hours 13-16

More Racing

A frankly boring stint for Linnea, save for passing a big pile of totalled cars.

“Lin, be advised, you’re up to 11th now. Keep it up.”

As Sven wakes and exits the car, so does Elin. After all, it’s hard to miss him slamming the door.

A few moments later, back in the pit lane, Aatto spots them and grabs the French press. Sven’s driving soon, so god knows he needs it, and to be frank, after 16 hours of pit crewing she could use some herself.

“I’d offer you boys a good morning, but to be frank it’s a bit early for that. I made coffee.”

A collective thank you followed, as Elin prepares for the upcoming refueling stop, and Sven readies to take the wheel. The most aggressive, and arguably the most capable, of the teams drivers, hopefully he can bring it home.

Once more crackles to life the radio.

“Linnea, Pit time again, and you can finally get out of the van.”

Aatto is of course doing her usual organizational role, albeit with less energy than earlier.

“Elin, you’ve got refuelling, Sven; take the wheel.”

This time, all Aatto’s doing is helping Linnea out of the van, but frankly nobody can hold it against her at this time of night.

Elin gives the signal, and Sven’s sped off again. Aatto only has one more thing to say.

“Elin, keep an eye on the van. I’m going to go sleep in the car and I suspect Linnea’s going to join me.”

“Aye ma’am. Have a good rest you two.”

And off they go.

The car is going strong. So are the drivers and team, running on unhealthy amounts of caffeine and determination. After no major incidents in the last 4 hours, the Shed Mechanics are in a good position.

Team Highway Hooligans

Team Information and Index

Highway Hooligans, Midnight to 4 AM, Cody’s POV:

The first 30 minutes of the midnight stage were almost peaceful. Headlights (and high-beams) glowing at full (dim) intensity, the I5 buzzing away under the hood, the other teams crashing well out of the line of sight of the longest shitbox in the world.

As the baby-shit-green Velocity torpedoes the ACR into the guardrail and claims another car, Cody mashes his foot down on the throttle, planning on a little payback for their door and for taking out half the field. Unfortunately, Trevor screams at him over the radio, “CODY! The bash-bar is nearly in the radiator! Don’t fuck up the car!” With a full head of steam behind it, the Bricksley continues its advance on the Velocity until Cody stomps on the emergency brake pedal and hooks the steering wheel, trying to nail the rear quarter panel of the Velocity with their rear bumper. It’s a narrow miss, and nearly ends up in disaster as the CAC has to avoid the great-big-stretched-blue-turd. Likewise, the Primus and the VerBanka had to swerve to avoid it, banging into each other on the way and collecting a few more dents. The McNamara bangs into the guardrail on the other side of the shit-barge Bricksley, followed by the Crown Vic doing the same maneuver, but a bit softer. Then the Rosewood slams on the brakes and loses time to Cody doing a sloppy-as-fuck 5 point turn to get the car pointing the right way around.

“I think I held up almost the entire field there!” Cody declares gleefully, giggling as the great lumbering trash barge picks up speed again.

Cody takes things easy for the next hour, balancing his use of the steering wheel to allow him to also chug a Coca-Cola. He grenades the Velocity’s driver with the can and grins as the puke green squashed turd keeps farther away for a few laps.

Eventually, he has to pull in for fuel, surprised at the fuel efficiency of the 5-cylinder land yacht. Not long afterward, Cody mashes the brakes to avoid leaving the racing line around a corner, and a heavy thump resonates through the car. “What the… Oh. I just accidentally brake-checked the Primus…”

Cody keeps his eyes on the road when the Tarquini rear-ends the Primus and takes it out of the race… And then the SED gives it a good punt and wrecks itself. Then the Arlington hits the SED like a pool cue, slamming the SED up against the Primus just for good measure. The Ferdon dodges it, the Newton scrapes along the SED’s wrecked carcass, and finally, the accidents stop happening. Half a lap later, Cody accidentally crowds the Carlisle with the entire passenger side of the limo, forcing a solid bump and scraping the paint with the wood-screws still sticking out of the passenger-side door.

Then, the Newton and Velocity spin out when trying to avoid a collision (a huge surprise given how the Velocity has driven so far, using everyone else as mobile brakes and guardrails), and Cody threads the needle, smashing the crappy towing mirror off of his door on the way past.

“I’m puttin’ a bounty out on that Velocity. Two hundred United States dollars to whichever team takes out that god-damn turd,” Cody says over the radio.

Extra

Post 5 - Collaboration with Madrias.

Hearing Cody’s offer gets Sven’s attention. Not bothering to click in his walkie talkie to his brother in the pits, a bit of negotiation goes on. Sven’s got a sly tone, but a somewhat playful one as well.

"I might well be convinced, if you’re willing to put your own bodywork into it as well?~

Cody is a little cautious, but determined to see the Velocity done and out of the race, and it shows in his voice.

“You’ve seen our door already. This thing might fall apart if we make another strike at it, but I can try.”

Sven’s got a plan already, and the excitement in his voice is clear as he presents it over the driver’s radio.

“You box him in down the pit straight, and then I’ll show him what a rear end rated for 2 tonnes of cargo does to the front end of an ugly ass sedan!”

Cody laughs, the plan coming together at last. He gleefully presses the radio button and cheerfully commits to the plan.

“The old “swoop and squat!” One big-ass rollin’ roadblock comin’ right up.”

And so, the plan is made. Will it work? That’s up to our host, @Knugcab.

Knugcab · 30 January 2024 04:05

4 AM - 8 AM:

The Elba swipes the guardrail, albeit just slightly. One of the Bricksleys front springs have collapsed, and it is now in the pits for a swap. The Bricksley moving slow for a while gives Team Slow in the Hakumai some troubles of passing. The Carlisle is looking for an opportunity to pass the two of them, without too much luck. The Seongu understeers through a corner, which the driver is trying to counteract with the handbrake, though that results in a spinout. The next car to spin out is the Velocity. The Crown Vic is said to be running very hot at the moment and goes into the pits very carefully. The Newton is going in for refuelling.

The Elba goes in to fill up the tank. Some rusted bolts in the front suspension means that the spring replacement on the Bricksley still takes time. The Tarquini takes a hit against the rail, but even though the front end looks pretty smashed in now, it seems to be driveable. The next car to taste the rail is the Hakumai, albeit not too hard. Since it seems like the serpentine belt jumped in the crash, however, they end up in the pits putting a new one on it. The Velocity goes in for refuelling. The Crown Vic’s troubles seems to be related to the water pump, which the team are changing out at the moment… The Rosewood does a spinout.

The Arlington plows a bit through the corners. The Caducus goes in for a fuel stop. The Hooligans is still working on the Bricksley in the pits, but the report is that they are ready to put things together now again. The driving of the Velocity is a bit all over the place, but it has not crashed into something for a while. The Crown Vic is still in the pits, but ready to be assembled again. The Rosewood scrapes the rail slightly.

The Arlington goes in for refuelling. The Caducus seems to have some trouble with going straight through the corners at the moment. The Bricksley is leaving the pits with spinning wheels, causing the Hakumai to brake for it to not hit it. The IP and Newton then has to swerve to not hit the Hakumai. The Crown Vic does a much less dramatic exit from the pits, though

The Bricksley has its share of trouble, understeering heavily through the corners. The Seongu does some guardrail banging. The Velocity passes the Arlington to then brake check it, unfortunately, the crash damages the battery of the Arlington, something the team seems to not have thought of bringing a replacement for, and hence it is out of the race. The Crown Vic and Rosewood swerves to avoid flying debris from the cars. The Newton on the other hand drives over some of it and has to go to the pits to change the flat tyre.

Vibrations and clunking noises in the Uyemura has lead the team to suspect the flexdisc on the propshaft, meaning that it is now in the pits. The Crown Vic takes a shunt from the Carlisle, unfortunately, all the hard bashing that has taken place on the Carlisle this day now have taken its toll, the front frame rails are simply too bent to take any more abuse now.

It seems like some rusted, rounded bolts around the propshaft flange keeps the Uyemura in the pits. The Elba and the Crown Vic comes into some close contact, but without any devastating damage to the cars. Despite the Bricksley having a chance to pass the Velocity, it seems to follow it close instead, for some reason. That seems to annoy the driver of the Ferdon a bit, since the large limo is blocking the way. The Newton goes in for refuelling.

With a new flexdisc, the Uyemura is back on the track. It is possible that driver fatigue is giving a bit mediocre lap times to the VerBanka by now. The Tarquini tries to find a good possibility to pass it, but no luck. The Hakumai goes in to fill up the tank, so does the Ferdon. Being sort of squeezed in between the Bricksley and the Caducus, the Velocity tries to escape, and gives the guardrail a crunch instead. A visit in the pits to secure the flapping bumper with a rope is necessary for the Velocity. When driving slow to the pits, the Velocity slows down the Rosewood.

8 AM, somewhere in swedish Alabama

collaboration with @HermannMatern

Well, I think it is typical to end on the junkyard of history, if it´s a Wartburg. Thanks, Thomas, that you somehow managed to arrange a tasteful… funeral?

I persuaded the principal of the town that a Wartburg used in a competition in Sweden is a sign of unity and peace… so … it will decorate this roundabout for the next years to come. The terrible shape is also a sign that… well… our country was not supposed to last.

It really wasn´t, Thomas? Are you sure about that?

Definitely, I am. But you are right that not everything was shit. I hate that generalization. This Wartburg did great and now serves another purpose. No matter if we were popular, rich or beautiful. There will always be some trace of us somewhere, as long as we are remembered. Things have exactly the value you give to them, and this Wartburg was as pricelessly valuable as Chantys Kar… Ker… eh, that frog car. Let´s go, Klaus-Dieter, before I become sentimental.

Do I spot a tear, young fellow?

Damn, someone finally still calling me “young”… well, let´s now drive somewhere else, I got something to pick up. Do you still feel fit for driving?

Me? Of course. I am 80, not dead!

Meanwhile, Chanty is still very much overstrained with how the things turned out. Her father keeping secret how bad his health problems are, her boyfriend injured, the race not even finished and her beloved Kermit a piece of junk that could not be saved. Although she was on a good way of finally quitting smoking, she just thought… that it doesn´t matter anymore. But a friend she almost forgot about was there for help.

Rudolph? Is this you?

some elk noise

Damn, I must really be at my lowest if I really talk to an … ah, I don´t care. It´s good that you are here, Rudi. Let me hug you, please… you are so fluffy!

more elk noises

You brought your whole family with you to cheer me up? You are so special. I love you, too.

A bit later, Chanty finally said goodbye to the fluffy friends and returned to the cabin, just as two cars show up - one is Thomas´SUV, and behind it is a smaller blue car.

CHANTAL JOLINA NILFERT! You look terrible!

I know, but it´s also your genes…

I dont mean it that way, damn! I guess, you could need something positive things, to say it mildly… What kind of car would you like to replace Kermit?

Dad! Kermit is irreplaceable. He was unique. And… I don´t have the money anyway.

You don´t expect me to pay for the new one? Who are you, and what have you done to my daughter?

Dad, I am not in the mood for jokes, really. I know you don´t mean it in a bad way, but I need to be alone now.

I AM BLUE DABADI DABADA

Dad! You are the WORST singer ever. Stop it!

If you want me to stop, catch that! HAH!

Uuuargh, can´t you aim better? Ehm… these are… car keys? Wait! WAIT! Is that for the blue one?

Sure! A 2005 Primus Persua. It is only the base model, but it is in good condition, but I guess you will change that to your taste soon. It´s definitely safer than the old car, and easier to drive, so… Jans next year´s 24h race won´t end in hospital. And I hope you like the color, it´s actually matching your hair. I give up trying to convince you that you should look normal, it´s too late with all these tattoos anyway, sadly.

Dad… I don´t deserve this.

Yep. Well, something I learned at a quite late age is that we don´t need to deserve everything. I am your father. One should never use love and affection as a “reward”. I needed 60 years to break through my family trauma and you should have it better. So, now that I want to keep the emotional part as short as possible, move your arse and drive Klaus-Dieter to their hotel, then pick up Jan. I guess he misses you already. Hah. What a sissy!

Dad! We are over this! I love him and it would be kind of you to respect this.

As you can drive and he can´t… would I buy you a safer car then, if I would like you to get rid of him? Now move it, Klaus-Dieter is waiting for his taxi service, and Jan for his girlfriend.

Will we drive home then tomorrow?

NO! You look as banged up as your Kor… Kel… eh, Karma! Your mother will kill me without hesitation when she sees you in this condition. Have mercy with me. But the Wartburg weirdos will borrow your car tomorrow… strange that your car has no longer a name… but I guess you will find one… to get them to Eberswalde, and that´s where we pick it up again next week.

Kermit! It was Kermit! And I already have a name for the new one… SONIC! THE FASTEST HEDGEHOG! Well, as fast as it can be with a … urgh… 1,4 liter engine. But that color is so … me? I love it.

TEAM TRAFIKJOURNALEN
PART 1.4 MIDNIGHT - 8 AM

After a duct taping orgy in the pits, Hansen got back on the track only to… BONK!, damn, there went the TDF, but it seemed to be just a slight tap that didn’t affect it very much.

“Won’t do any damage if you’re slow enough”, Carlén said to Andersson in the pits.

A while later, a lot of cars managed to get into a huge tangle, but not Hansen in the IP.

“Yeah, he didn’t even get there in time”, Carlén and Andersson said, nodding at what happened.

After some very calm driving, Hansen got back for refuelling the fuel sipping box for the first time. He avoided getting into any drama, and got back into the pits for the last drivers change, to Filip Andersson.

“Now, don’t do like you always do and play pinball with everything on the track, OK?”, Carlén said when Andersson jumped into the burgundy brick. And for his first 4 hours of driving that was actually true. He even managed to swerve for a braking Hakumai without any further incidents.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Knugcab · 5 February 2024 11:15

8 AM - NOON

The Bricksley gives the Hakumai a shunt, which in turn sends the Hakumai into the rail. Unfortunately, the Bricksley now also resembles a corkscrew more than anything else, only the weight have saved it this far, but according to the team, the frame was more or less resembling corn flakes, so it was probably an expected end for it anyway. The Hakumai looks a bit sad too, but seems to be able to continue driving. The Newton and IP manages to swerve to avoid getting into the crash. The Rosewood goes in for refuelling. The Caducus is driving a bit slower than we would have expected it to do. The Seongu experiences some lift off oversteer once again, seems like that short wheelbase FWD car is a bit nervous in that regard. The Tarquini goes in for refuelling.

The Velocity is driving unexpectedly careful at the moment. The IP seems to have a hard time passing it. The Elba does an attempt to pass both cars, with no success, just ending up in a slide. The Hakumai more or less repeats the same mistake. The Seongu goes in for refuelling. Maybe as an act of revenge, the Crown Vic hits the Velocity at high speed, but no matter what, the result is the Crown Vic being done for this year, while the Velocity seems to still hold up.

The Velocity continues at a slow but steady pace, once again being a hard obstacle for the IP to pass. After some guardrail nudging, the bumper is hanging loose on the Elba and the team has to do some provisory attempts of re-attaching it in the pits. Other than that, it is relatively calm at the moment.

The VerBanka sputters and coasts towards the pits, where the team has to look up why it won’t run anymore. The Velocity has now gained speed again, tries to pass the coasting VerBanka, but slides wildly. The Elba gives the Uyemura a slight tap from behind. The Velocity needs to refuel. The Hakumai then hits the Elba, that is sent into the Tarquini, that is sent into the rail, which means that the both the Elba and the Tarquini are now also beyond the point of repair, and also out of the race.

The VerBanka is still standing in the pits, the fault is traced to a defective fuel pump. The Velocity scrapes the rail. The Rosewood comes into some close contact with the IP. The Uyemura goes in for refuelling. The Newton needs some serious panel beating after close contact with the Ferdon.

The VerBanka has now gotten its fuel pump replaced and is back on the track. The same could be said about the Newton, hammered out to (something resembling a) shape again. The Uyemura does a spinout. The Caducus hits the VerBanka, resulting in a visit in the pits to bend some parts of the front fender of the Caducus now interfering with the front wheels away. The Hakumai does a rather wide slide in a corner now.

The Velocity is driving at a rather reduced speed again, meaning that the IP is stuck behind it at the moment. The Rosewood hits the Seongu, a quite heavy hit for the small car but still not enough to cause any damage that needs repair at the moment. However, it seems to be a bit hard for the Seongu to find traction when taking off. For some reason, the Caducus once again hits the VerBanka. This time, the VerBanka is the car that needs time in the pits to straighten out the metal.

The Newton goes in for a fuel stop, it exits the pits along with the freshly repaired VerBanka, but maybe the team had some bad batch of fuel since there is some sputtering from the Newton. But other than that, all the cars have worked flawlessly for the last 30 minutes of the race, and we are now at noon, the race is over and we are soon getting to the final standings….

ChatGPT knows its thing. Shame we couldn’t finish - the car was going to be scrapped either way. Hopefully we will bring a bigger challenge next season, GG everyone.

I am suprised my car was still drivable despite how much times it got shunted and crashed

Knugcab · 5 February 2024 15:53

It would have been toast with 1 more crash

stm316 · 5 February 2024 23:30

Almost 2/3 or the entrants DNF, and i didn’t even make mid field of what was left. I can’t tell if that’s good or bad.

Epilogue - a week after the challenge

JAN KELLERMANN! WHERE ARE THE BAGS?

Sorry Thomas, my foot is still quite not well, and…

Yes, alright, sorry. Where is my daughter again?

I guess before we leave tomorrow moring she says goodbye to the elk.

What the… well, I guess I better don´t ask.

Rudolph… I am sorry to leave you. I will miss you soooo much, will you remember me?

weird but friendly elk noises

Maybe… we will come back, and … I … argh, I can´t hold it back any longer.

A crying Chanty hugs the elk, and acutally it looks like the goodbye is equally painful for the animal as well.

The whole night, Chanty cuddled with Jan and told him how much she will miss her fluffy new friend, and when she woke up waaaay to late the next day, Thomas already packed all stuff and Jan waited with a surprise.

Oh… is that for… me?

Sure, you told me how much you miss Rudy, and as you told me Rudolph has his own family, I don´t need to be jealous at all towards a kind elk - but I wanted to get you something to keep him in good memory.

Chanty grabbed the plush elk, hugged it firmly, then stressed Jan with a love overdose, took her moring shower and then jumped in the rear seats of the Primus Aventura, while a totally destroyed Advance aka Kermit was on the trailer, still usable as compartment for all their stuff, including the carbecue.

After a ride on the ferry, Thomas asked Jan if he had seen Chanty awake already.

No, not at all Mr. Nilf, eh, Thomas. I guess she is totally exhausted.

All the stress was a week ago. Damn. But I guess it´s not just our adventure that stresses her. But that snoring, damn, a paternity test would be wasted money. What is she doing?

Well, that what she does for hours now, Listening to her headphones and cuddling with Rudolph, her plush elk.

At least she isn´t tattoing herself again, so I better not complain… Damn, I am hungry, and Eberswalde to pick up Chantals car is still three hours away. Next exit?

Definitely!

DID I HEAR … FOOD?

Oh, my daughter woke up! HOW COULD YOUR HEAR THAT ASLEEP WITH YOUR DEVIL MUSIC AT FULL VOLUME?

Didn´t you just say a paternity test is wasted money?

Oh yes, Chantal Jolina Nilfert, IT IS!

Actually, you did better than I expected as our spare mechanic… You know, I am not the youngest anymore, and I can´t leave the work to my employees Deniz and Mateusz. Well, I won´t force you, but I have an instructor certificate, and…

Dad, I really need to get a real job, and actually, I enjoyed it too much to decline that. We´re a team, and I guess mom wouldn´t mind if I become the next MacNilfert. But only one last thing…

Which?

Can you get my lovely Rudi a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, two number 45, one with cheese, and a large soda?

CHANTAL JOLINA NILFERT! THE AIR SUSPENSION OF THIS CAR IS ALREADY AT THE LIMIT! And its not the elk, it´s you who wants all this.

DAD! You are no better. Guess where my appetite and weight comes from?

Yeah, yeah, I know… all right, there is the exit. Let´s get something to eat. Jan, you go in first, because if Chantal and me are done there, nothing will be left for anybody.

THE NILFERTS WILL COME BACK - SEE YOU SOON!

SheikhMansour · 8 February 2024 06:57

Finishing at all in a race with this many DNFs is excellent, imo

Knugcab · 8 February 2024 08:59

I admit that the mechanics was a bit flawed and rough to the cars this year. Hence a small adjustment will be made for next time.
