Looked like a checkout pass for Jöran, left the line gently then the car started to fishtail in the second half. 1.2471 to sixty for Jan and was off it by 200 feet or so, 1.0309 for Patrick and 4.1865/287.39, straight run. Violent shake at the hit for Jari and he shut off. 1.1134 to sixty for Fredrik, the car swaying left and right but he stayed with it. 4.7112/245.23 at the eighth then smoke, a groan and bang from the motor. Shutdown area checked and all OK but small clean-up in Jari's lane. Micke J crept out of stage as the lights ran but hammered it on the green anyway, getting very close to crossing lanes and I'm not sure that Urban didn't see him as the Vette moved to the left of its lane as Micke got close. 1.0047 to the eighth for Urban and a storming 3.9738/295.24 at the eighth, Urban into #1 spot. Great match between David and Jan, David lost some ET to a deep stage but clocked 1.0676 to sixty driving through shake to Jan's 1.0514. 4.1326 at the eighth for David to Jan's 4.0032, Jan up into #2 spot at that point. Violent shake for Johan, a pedal and more shake and the car made a violent move so he shut off Fantastic run for Gullan to take over #1. 0.9585 to sixty and 3.9273/306.12 at the eighth, straight run too. Shake for Marko, tried to drive through it but had to shut off about 300 feet out. Shake for Joakim, too, shut it off at about the eighth. Joakim's run subsequently DQ'd. 0.9932 to sixty for Mattias and 1.1043 for Stefan, both tried to drive through shake and Stefan gave it up at the eighth 4.9944/187.18, Mattias' car moved to the right and hit the eighth-mile reflector which then hit Stefan's car smack on the side. Norbert's car crept the beams slightly but still clocked 1.0476 to sixty to Tero's 1.0681 Norbert's car started to move towards the centre line just as Tero's car did the same thing, looked close from here. 4.3251/213.16 to the eighth for Norbert and 4.3633/269.46 for Tero. Norbert's car got way out of shape in the speed trap, must have been a hairy few seconds for him. Nice match between Bert-Ove and Niclas, 0.9855 to sixty for Bert-Ove and 0.9980 for Niclas with a huge coud of clutch dust. Storming 3.9990/296.87 at the eighth for Bert-Ove who then put the chutes out. 4.0549/292.21 to the eighth for Niclas. 1.0072 to sixty for Mats and then huge shake and he shut it off. 1.0057 to the eighth for Anders then had to pedal for shake, shut it off before the stripe. 1.0303 to sixty for Micke L then shake and he shut it off by 330 feet. 1.0102 to sixty for Freddy but of course he drive through it as if it wasn't happening, 4.1261/293.32 at the eighth. Almighty bang from Tami's motor as the crew went to start it. Terje took the bye, 1.0337 to sixty, 3.9491/304.34 at the eighth and a tiny pedal in the second half, still good for #2 spot. 1.0110 to sixty for Ola, 1.0060 for Marc, Marc to the eighth first 4.0250/206.50 and just as well as Ola hit the 660 foot reflector and punted it into Marc's lane. Superb match between Bruno and Martin to end the day. 0.9965 to sixty for Urban to Martin's 1.0545, stormer at the eighth for Bruno 3.9517/301.34 to Martin's high-speed 4.0479/315.79. Martin backs up his earlier 398.52 for a European record, well done Martin! The 402.55 is a touch too fast to be backed up by the 398.52, however we have had our first 250 mph pass in FIA Pro Modified, 250.78 mph, well done Martin!

Anita into #1 in the next pair with a nicely-judged run. 0.9135 to sixty to Chris' 0.9098, Anita at the eighth in 3.3081/405.41, in the other lane there was a bang and a flash of flame from Chris' motor, 3.5121/289.54 at the eighth and he was out of it at that point. Lots of smoke from Anita's motor as she shut off, stopped on the shutdown area. Track checked as Anita's car was rescued and a clean-up of the first 100 yards or so of the shutdown area in Anita's lane. Eurodragster.com sponsor Urs' car really did not want to start, making popping noises each time it was turned over. A very unhappy Urs got out of the car and threw his safety kit onto the ground. Micke took the bye and it was a fine run to start, 0.9127 to sixty and going great guns at the eighth 3.3355/404.19, shut it off just past the eighth and smoke and then flame on the right side of the motor all the way down the shutdown area, maybe a head gasket. Safety crews chased Micke down and the clean-up crew were called to the top end. 0.9401 to sixty for Jari and 2.4027 to 330 feet then shut it off. Håkan's tyres went up in smoke at the hit and he shut off.

Good openers from Matti and Roman; apologies for the lack of detail, got a bit behind with the report.

Jaska #1 even with what looked like a troubled run. Serious clean-up in his lane. Anna-Lena into the sevens, good for a couple of spots on the ladder. Christian's tyre up in smoke at the hit, a long feather of the throttle and back on it but lost a lot of time although still good for a move up the ladder. 1.1601 to sixty for Per, 4.4682/289.70 at the eighth, good-looking run and good for #1. Trond shut off before the burnout so a bye for Martijn. 1.2809 to sixty, 4.8061/263.93 at the eighth, shut it off at about 1100 feet. Greger lost drive at the hit and stopped at half track. 1.1997 to sixty for Hans Olav, sounded like the motor hesitated just before half track 4.8024/247.59 and shut off a touch early. Great match between Nate and Samu, playing "Who'll put their front wheel down first?". 1.1752 to sixty for Nate to Samu's 1.1497, Nate had the better eighth too 4.4130/283.02 to 4.4236/275.79.

Comp Eliminator qualifying after session 2

Drama in this session as Krister Adeen's very rapid Volvo turned hard right on the finish line at the end of a 6.8998/296.05 run. With incredible and rapid presence of mind Krister had the chutes out the moment the car turned right but the car didn't want to know, went across the track and hit the guardrail before flipping a couple of times and sliding to a halt. The safety crews were moving before Krister's car stopped rolling and word quickly came back that Krister is OK.

Chris looked to be off the throttle by about 300 feet with tyres shaking and the Lucas car making a move towards the centre line. 3.2560/388.21 at the eighth for Antti and looked from the car's behaviour as if his blower belt broke just on the eighth. Antti towed off the track after stopping in the shutdown area. 0.8759 to sixty for Janne to Anita's shakey 0.9238, Anita pedalled once then got off the throttle. Janne meanwhile was on a stormer, 3.3006/402.38 at the eighth then cylinders started to mix followed by smoke and smoke and flame from the exhausts. Risto's tyres blazed at the hit and he took no further part in the pair. 0.9221 to sixty for Jari, 3.3551/405.71 at the eighth with what looked like a cylinder out which then cleared itself.

FIA Pro Stock qualifying session 1 (left lane first)

Magnus Pettersson 7.5476/302.69 bye; Richard Sundblom 22.122/54.66, Christian Sagelv 10.9416/134.60; Harry Sturhan shut off, Ulf Wagnhester 13.1125/103.41 bye; Sampsa Palos 35.5793/27.89, Michael Malmgren 6.8152/312.14; Mats Jacobsson 7.6186/226.32, Micke Callin 6.7047/334.78; Jimmy Ålund 6.6869/333.33 bye, Thomas Lindström shut off

1.1166 to sixty for Magnus, I didn't hear any gear changes. Off the throttle for a moment before the eighth 4.8326/223.05. Instant very hard shake for Richard and he shut it off. Christian drove through shake passing the Tree but then shut it off about 200 feet out. Tyre smoke from Ulf's burnout an interesting colour, a beige shade rather than white. A bit of concern from the track crew in Harald's lane, rags out and mopping the surface, both cars shut off before staging. Harald then pushed back and Ulf signalled to take his bye. 1.0195 to sixty with the front right wheel in the air and tyres shaking, shut off as he got close to the guardrail. Some photographers stepped back, some didn't. Instant shake for Sampsa and he shut if off very abruptly, or the motor stopped anyway. 1.0500 for Michael driving through very visible shake, body panels flapping, 4.3963/263.03 at the eighth. Nice launches for Mats and Micke, 1.0804 to sixty for Mats and 1.0111 for Micke. Micke had pulled ahead by the eighth 4.3267 to 4.5889, looked from here as if Mats shut it off just about at the eighth. The first half of a European speed record for Micke, well done Micke! Very long burnout for Thomas, Jimmy ready to stage by the time he got back. Starter Nettan went to the car to ask the crew to get a wiggle on but they signalled to her that they were shutting it off. Jimmy took a fantastic bye, 0.9910 to sixty and 4.3011/264.45. Close to European record form and #1 quaifier.

FIA Top Methanol Dragster qualifying session 1 (left lane first)

Krister Johansson 5.5500/410.96 bye; Peter Schöfer 9.5682/138.96, Chris Polidano 5.5827/427.89; Timo Habermann 11.0300/169.17, Dave Wilson 17.1956/81.02; Dennis Habermann 5.5400/405.10, Manty Bugeja 8.0163/171.54

Interesting double-step on the throttle from Krister on launch. 1.0636 to sixty feet, clean launch with all cylinders burning and it stayed that way all the way. 3.7105/353.40 to the eighth staying on the throttle as the car made a move to the right and on it to the stripe. Shake for Peter off the line, 1.2771 to sixty whilst Chris' car hooked up and went, 1.0391 to sixty and 3.7574/344.17 at the eighth. Very clean pass with all cylinders lit all the way. Peter pedalled a couple of times but was off it by the eighth. 0.9135 to sixty for Timo then tyres up in smoke and motor zinged. Timo shut it off before 300 feet. Tyres up in smoke at the hit for Grumpy, a pedal and stomped on it again and the tyres went up in smoke again, shut it off and rolled through. Long, drifting burnout for Manty. Elbowing match between tuner Charlie Draper and owner Joe Carabott for who stood where behind the car as it went into stage, looked good-natured from here. 0.9527 to sixty for Dennis, 0.9223 for Manty who was driving through shake at that point. A pedal from Manty as the dragster moved towards the centre line then he shut it off about 200 feet out. 3.6631/337.50 to the eighth for Dennis.

  1. Dennis Habermann 5.5400/405.10

FIA Top Methanol Funny Car qualifying session 1 (left lane first)

Arvid Grødem 7.2129/150.92 bye, Micke Larsson shut off; Jonas Staflund 24.213/50.13, Ulf Leanders 5.7187/412.21; Jonnie Lindberg 8.1906/177.28, Leif Andréasson 5.5922/414.11; Danny Bellio 6.2360/304.74 bye

Great side-by-side burnouts by Arvid and Micke. Micke shut off before staging and was pushed back whilst Arvid took the bye. 1.0280 to sixty feet, going great guns then his blower panel blew and the chutes deployed just before the eighth 3.8641/288.46. The very definitely not pedestrian Jonas next up against Ulf. We gained much amusement from the fact that Anita Mäkelä is a chicken farmer, the Andersens' sponsor Landmeco make equipment for chicken farms, and Jonas' car has "Brokk" on the side. It's all chickens with these people! If you did this job this often, you would go this mad too. Jonas' tyres up in smoke at the hit, shut off and idled down the track. Brief tyre smoke and a pedal for Ulf; 0.9575 to sixty and 3.8033/327.67 at the eighth. 5.718 with a pedal is going some. Brief clean-up in Jonas' lane. Jonnie got to sixty in 0.9842 but hit shake and had to shut off as the FC got very close to the guardrail. Stormer for Leif off the trailer! 0.9631 to sixty feet, no sign of shake, 3.6939/332.10 at the eighth, close to record form again. 1.0186 for Danny, sounded as if he was feathering the throttle for spinning tyres. 4.0546/295.89 at the eighth and off the gas just past half track.

Qualifying after this session:

  1. Leif Andréasson 5.5922/414.11

Otto's motor cut out at the hit, flash of flame from the exhaust. Kai's motor stopped during the burnout. Peter took the bye, motor sounded very rough at the hit. Tyre up in smoke, smoke from the exhausts then the motor stopped. Peter rolled to a halt about 1000 feet out. Fantastoc run for Peter S, straitht as you like, 1.0321 to sixty to Rikard's 1.1273, 3.8831/320.57 at the eighth to Rikard's 4.3773. Looked from here as if Peter shut off a touch early. Nils looked to have trouble doing his burnout but got it eventually. 1.2219 to sixty for Nils, 1.2063 for Ian and that was with his rear tyre up in smoke and a feather of the throttle. 4.8607/234.58 to the eighth for Nils, Ian to half track looking to be accelerating hard, 4.8230/276.50. Nils and Ian both off the throttle at about 1000 feet.

Jaska away as if shot from a gun, 1.1004 to sixty to Ulf's 1.1563. About 300 feet out there was a bang and a piece of bodywork came off the bike, Jaska shut it off. Great first pass for Ulf, close to a PB, 4.5019 to the eighth to Jaska's slowing 4.8609. Quick clean-up in Jaska's lane. Amusing moment in Vesa's burnout as his header blast blew a marshal's jacket into the other bleach box which Hans Olav had luckily already vacated. 1.2322 to sixty for Vesa and his bike headed further and further left until he was running right alongside the guardrail and he shut it off about 300 feet out. 1.3048 to sixty for Hans Olav, 4.7097/272.45 abd the eighth and a new best for his new bike. Problems for Roman before the burnout, sounded like a misfire, Anna-Lena took the bye. 1.1451 to sixty, 5.0560 at the eighth getting close to the guardrail at half track. Ismo's motor didn't fire and he was pushed away. 1.2490 to sixty for Torbjörn, bike headed to the right, he was off the gas by about 200 feet. 1.1899 to sixty for Greger, 1.4167 for Martijn, other icrementals vanished.

Per was on and off the throttle a couple of times whilst Trond sounded to feather it once around half track 5.4074 to 5.2572. Trond off the throttle before the stripe.
