A-Bombers are else than motorcycles, cars and the races. There are bands playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday, nomerous of. There are beer, barbeque and some booze too. Partying takes place into the early morning, all in a friendly manner.
The god guys and girls
Getting decent photos showing some of those guys and girls attending A-Bombers to be a part of this event is a task in itself. These images beeing a small selection some of those.

OK, got some pics from Øyunn who is the one part of AMcN set up with a decent camera (and the focus to make the best shots), enjoy.
The Race
OK, getting up a hill trough some curved gravel roads as fast as possible doesnt sound to bad? It is bad, it is as bad as it can ever get. Loose gravel, endless rows of bumps and the lane narrowed by the speed itself. You better stay focused not hitting that steel rail.
A thoughtfull Gomball ready to leave camp for racing
World Wide Cycles W&W AG`s team bike. They raced an IOE brought by a Panhead. Cool.
This primed 28 Harley J racer/bobber was really cool and was fast up the hill too. Sound was terriffic, thumbs up!
Engine details of 28 J
Peters Widow Maker, Oh I loved that smell of the racing oil. Like in the old days when speedway was raced on any oval in every town.
Staff waiting for the race to be lined up.
Getting known to the track.
Gomball at speed.
This chap did a excellent first lap ever up the hills.
Vegard and burk slave.
Harley J 1928
W&W, Paul behind the controls

What can get someone with just the slightes part of senses to leave their warm cosy home to ride a relic motorbike from 1939 for an entire day in a rain as if heaven decided to let it all go at once??
To continue a journey with no money else than those lent to you by a stranger when your wallet dissappear at a a faraway gas station.
To know your following night will have to be spent without a tent or sleeping bag as the car supposed to bring your stuff breaks down.
An event as A-Bombers sure can, when you get there, wet, cold and tired these are worries soon forgotten by the warm friendship shared between those with the dedication to go there, weather or not. These are people from all over Europe sharing a common interest in the early american vehicles and lifestyle.
How and where did I sleep the first night, I was offered to share the space availiable for two inside a chopped Ford A 1930 roadster with the roof lowered and my riding jacket as a quilt, thanks Lars!!
Decent pictures from the races will have to follow at a later stage as my chief photographer Øyunn took those.
