An interesting sight from my place in Race Control was the entry into the pits of Monica Öberg's Top Fuel Dragster trailer. Monica is not on the published entry list but I guessed she wanted to make an entrance! So that's nine Top Fuel Dragsters we have here now.

Krister Adéen is OK after spinning out in the second half of the track. The car started to smoke and drop fluid at half track and as soon as the tyres got onto the fluid the car started spinning and went up on two wheels, sending reflectors flying and spinning into the other lane. Erik who was trackside said he has never seen a race car go so far up on two wheels and come back down again. "That will have been the longest half-second of Krister's life!", said Erik. Jeppe Bergdahl in the other lane did a great job of stopping his dragster safely; Sharkman at trackside said that Jeppe stood on the brakes as he saw Krister get out of shape.

Ola Dahlbom is OK after taking a trip into the grass in the shutdown area. There was a cloud of smoke from the car just before the finish line and Ola put out the 'chute, then the car turned hard right into the grass. The car stayed upright and we understand that it suffered no damage.
