Fredrik's bike then headed right and took out the 264 foot reflector (330 foot speed start). Thomas off the gas just past 330 feet, don't think he knew that Fredrik was behind him. Alex to sixty in 1.1545 to Kennth's 1.1457, the eighth in 4.7156/242.15 with Kenneth visibly in front 4.6431/246.58.

Vidar into the ladder on this run. 1.1836 to sixty, 4.7448/260.87 at the eighth. 1.2642 to sixty for Teemu, motor sounded reluctant but he stayed with it. Very lazy motor for Ulf, 1.4083 to sixty and having to hang off the side of the bike to keep it from going right. Greger to sixty in 1.1686 and the eighth in 4.4423/274.11, Samu's tyre went up in smoke and he had to feather the throttle passing the Tree then again a few yards further. Then tye slick stuck but he had lost too much time. Anders to sixty in 1.1370 to Roman's 1.1478, Roman with a clear lead at the eighth 4.3666/282.87 to Anders' 4.5580/257.51. A new PB or close to it to ROman I think, if so then well done Roman! Tommy to sixty in 1.2735 and going great guns but then got off it before the eighth, nothing visibly wrong. 1.1824 to sixty for Petri and again off it before the eighth.

Jan to sixty in 1.0176, Sampsa in 1.0468. Sampsa off the gas just before the eighth. Jan to the eighth in 4.4320/257.76, getting close to the guardrail in the second half and pulling it back quite unsubtly past 1000 feet. Nixxon to sixty in 1.0233, Simon in 1.0215, a little thump of shake from one car but not easy to tell which from here. Nixxon to the eighth in 4.3269/264.97 to Simon's 4.3754/260.49. Nixxon in the ladder tomorrow, Simon spectating although first alternate. Magnus on a bye, 1.0312 to sixty and 4.3758/257.39 to the eighth then shut it off at 1000 feet. Thomas to sixty in 0.9872 to Hannu's 1.0085, and an appreciable lead by the eighth 4.2520/266.54 to Hannu's 4.4225/260.24, track just a bit long for Hannu's car I think. Michael to sixty in 1.0045, Stefan in 1.0033, Stefan was visibly pulling away by the eighth 4.2473/270.14 to Michael's 4.3046/264.45. Another new PB for Stefan, well done Stefan and team!

Micke edged out of stage going up on the revs starting the clocks, stopped just out of stage and then hit it but had lost time. Jürgen to sixty in 1.3369, the eighth in 4.4422/303.54, looked like a soft set-up. Linn went for a bit of a wander around her lane backing up from the burnout. Petteri to sixty with the front wheels up 0.9520, Linn in 1.0210. Petteri to the eighth in 3.6212/334.37 to Linn's 3.8747/313.77 approaching the centre line. A new PB for Linn certainly in competition, wasn't there for her licencing passes, well done Linn! Ari left before the lights ran, good-looking run although close to the guardrail. Timo to sixty in 0.9191, a pedal about 100 feet out, 3.5787/342.21 at the eighth. Great pair between Sandro and Dennis.

Great run for Michael! 1.0643 to sixty, 1.0362 for Micke, looked like he had to drive through shake passing the Tree. Michael to the eighth 4.0943/317.27 visibly before Micke 4.2418/289.39, Micke shut off a touch early. Kim shut off after his burnout and was pushed back. Bruno took the bye, slight double-step off the line as the front end came up, 1.0598 to sixty then ran right down the centre line from 330 feet, the eighth in 4.0049/301.51. David to sixty in 0.9988 to Andreas' 1.0434, David accelerating as if shot from a gun, to the eighth in 3.9302/306.99, Andres not far behind at 4.0676/318.77 but then a pop from his motor in the second half and he slowed before the stripe.

It then started to rain quite heavily but another great job by the track crew had us ready again very quickly. On the restart Victor strapped a very visible 0.1215 to 0.4591 holeshot on Anne Britt. 0.9859 to sixty to Anne Britt's 1.0325, car drifted left but nothing serious and a daylight win. Stefan in as an alternate for Åke Eliasson. Stefan away first 0.0362 to 0.0964 and the better sixty 1.0182 to Rimbert's 1.0219. Rimbert looked to pedal once and I think I heard his blower panel pop just before the eighth.0.358 win for Stefan.

I was impressed to see that Jaska has a crew member charged with wiping fluid off his leathers. Judging by the clean-up it was a spray of oil. Nice run for Svein Olav, 1.1377 to sixty, nitro flames visible in the strong sunlight. 4.3351/284.96 at the eighth but then smoke from the motor in the second half and close to the guardrail in the shutdown area. Ulf and Erling ready to run then shut off as oil was found in Svein Olav's lane. Clean-up crew called to the top end. Ulf to sixty in 1.3051, Erling in 1.3714, Ulf's bike got close to the centre line and he feathered the throttle. Erling also feathering, not on full throttle in the second half. 1.2690 to sixty for Teemu, much improved run, shut it off after the eighth 5.0751/227.18. Vidar Ravnsborg pushed his bike back to the pits as Petri and Torsti fired up. Petri to sixty in 1.2575, Torsti in 1.2667. Then about 100 feet out a flash of flame, smoke, and small metal pieces from Torsti's motor. Petri to the eighth in 4.6447/253.28 then shut it off after 1000 feet.

12:10 EDRS Pro MC Top Fuel Bike qualifying session 3 (left lane first) Thomas Pettersson 9.5264/143.35 bye; Peter Andersson (Ä) no time, Sverre Dahl 6.0759/338.77; Jan Sturla Hegre 6.3744/341.12, Peter Andersson (U) 10.5694/141.25 Thomas to sixty in 1.0979, bike drifting left and was rolling off the throttle by the eighth 4.8669/175.67. Great run for Sverre! 1.0380 to sixty, 3.9649/310.88 at the eighth, close to the centre line in the second half, there wa sa fag paper in it. No second half numbers for Peter (Ä), I suspect that Sverre's proximity to the centre line may have had something to do with that. Jan Sturla to sixty in 1.0630, Peter (U) in 1.2425. Jan Sturla's motor sounded to hesitate just briefly before the eighth 4.1089/293.16, Peter had shut it off by the eighth. Qualifying after this session:
12:00 FIA Top Fuel Dragster qualifying session 3 (left lane first) Liam Jones 4.2930/327.27 bye; Anita Mäkelä 4.4702/282.87, Micke Kågered 5.2067/221.40; Stig Neergaard 7.6006/122.67, Duncan Micallef 3.9590/489.13; Stefan Gunnarsson 5.0673/225.19, Antti Horto 3.9997/489.57 Word from Simon in the pits is that we won't be seeing Björn Mårtensson due to late arrival of parts. Front end of Liam's dragster just jumped in the air at the hit, came down quickly, 0.8575 to sixty then 2.2181/301.00 at 330 feet. Motor hesitated briefly about 400 feet out, it was barely perceptible, off the gas by the eighth 3.2265/381.63. More word from Simon in the pits is that having broken yesterday's motor big time Anita's team changed the motor overnight and so Anita was planning a half pass in this session. Micke looked to have trouble getting reverse after the burnout, back-up guy sprinted to help, reverse found. Anita to sixty in 0.8700, Micke in 0.8732. Micke's tyres blackstriping past the Tree. Anita strong at 330 feet 2.2056/306.64 (190.54 mph), Micke looked to be shaking 2.2303/289.39. Both off the gas before the eighth, Anita as planned 3.2406/333.13 and Micke 3.5967/249.31. Anita will be pleased with the new motor I think. Stig to sixty in 0.9011, Duncan in 0.8585, Stig's tyres started to go up in smoke and he pedalled, car made a move and he was off the gas before 330 feet. Duncan to 330 feet in 2.2056/303.88 and the eighth in 3.1605/428.57 (266.37 mph), white smoke out of the right bank but on the gas all the way, into the threes and over 300 mph at 303.53. Stefan to sixty in 0.8984, Antti in 0.8904, Stefan to 330 feet in 2.2668/291.73 with tyres turning, Antti with no such problems 2.2422/305.95. Just after 330 Stefan's tyres stated to smoke and he got off the gas, caught it very quickly, 3.5287/267.99. Antti to the eighth in 3.1970/427.55 and on the gas to the stripe, his speed equates to 304.20 mph. Qualifying after this session:

Robin to sixty in 1.2027 with thumping shake, pedalled and tried again. Christian to sixty in 1.0141, Robin had lost a lot of time to the shake by the eighth 4.9222/248.05, Christian way ahead and on a stormer at the eighth 4.3031/266.67. I believe a new PB for Christian, grattis Christian and team! Sampsa's car looked lazy off the line, 1.1293 to sixty to Thomas' 1.0097. Sampsa's motor struggling to the eighth 4.8863/250.93 then shut off in the second half, Thomas long gone at the eighth 4.2794/267.46. Really not much between Tommy and Jan. Tommy to sixty in 1.0254 to Jan's 1.0275, Tommy I to the eighth in 4.3998/256.65 to Jan's 4.3991/259.62, improvements for both but still out of the top eight. Tommy II sat on the line for 2.27 seconds before launching. Mcgnis to sixty in 1.0080 and was a long way towards the eighth 4.3094/266.14 before Tommy II was on his way. Tommu II to sixty in 1.0893, the eighth in 4.6526/248.50, looked to lose a little time in the second eighth. Hannu to sixty in 1.0060 with shake which pitched the car towards the guardrail, pulled it back but shut off before the eighth. Nixxon to sixty in 1.0035, the eighth in 4.3152/263.93. Improvement but stayed in place. Michael close to being bulbed as Stefan was in stage for an appreciable time before Michael went in. Stefan to sixty in 1.0080, 1.0031 for Michael. Nothing visibly wrong for Michael but shut it off before the eighth. Stefan to the eighth in 4.2530/268.66. Great match to end the session! Bengt to sixty in 0.9719, Jimmy in 0.9952, Bengt hauling the mail at the eighth 4.1936/280.95 to Jimmy's 4.2372/269.73. Cars looked side by side all the way, Bengt into #1.

11:05 FIA Top Methanol qualifying session 3 (left lane first) Jürgen Nagel 7.0590/253.16 bye; Ari Pietilä 5.9324/391.87, Timo Habermann 5.4209/432.00; Jonny Lagg 12.5887/117.06, Micke Larsson no time DQ; Linn Engan Karlsen 6.2000/372.93, Petteri Liimatainen 5.6831/402.99; Dennis Habermann 5/4693/422.54, Sandro Bellio 6.6678/375.00 Jürgen to sixty in 1.1111 driving through shake, the FC made a move for the centre line and Jürgen pedalled and tried to pull it back. Looked in peril of taking out the eighth reflectors but shut off before the eighth 4.3637/283.91 and pulled it back. Ari to sixty in 0.9916, Timo in 0.9216. Ari's FC headed towards the centre line but he held on to it, 3.9035/309.46 at the eighth. Timo with no real sign of shake save the the routine stuff, to the eighth in 3.5929/346.15. Micke overstaged, the top two bulbs went out and Micke hit the gas. Jonny awaited the green, 0.9650 to sixty sounding strong but bad shake and shut off. Petteris crew had problems starting the motor but kept calm and it fired as Linn was pulling her 300-foot burnout. Thump from Petteri's motor in the burnout, I thought the blower panel had gone but all OK as he got back to the start line without drama. Linn to sixty in 1.2252, some shake, Petteri 0.9774 with the tops of his tyres flapping. Dragster made a move to the right but Petteri had it tamed. Linn to the eighth in 4.0881/313.59, Petteri well ahead at 3.7323/325.69. Sandro just edged out of stage as the lights ran lighting the red and starting the clocks. He sat still looking at the red before hitting it. Dennis to sixty in 0.9457, no obvious shake, 3.6176/340.69 at the eighth. Qualifying after this session:
*Adjusted 10:50 FIA Pro Modified qualifying session 3 (left lane first) Swedish Pro Modified Championship eliminations round 1 (counts for qualifying) Micke Gullqvist 5.9071/395.89 def. Michael Joneskog 6.7539/229.59

Instant shake for Matts, and I mean really terrible shake, 1.5651 to sixty and something came off the car. The car was wobbling left and right as it slowed down, I am guessing something in the rear axle broke so maybe it was that and not actual tyre shake... cause or effect? Jan to sixty in 1.3021, looked and sounded to be driving through the clutch, more revs than the forward motion implied. Eighth in 4.7577/256.53 then shut it off befoe the stripe. 500-foot burnout for Freddy, not to be outdone Huissain made a move for the centre line in his burnout. Freddy to sixty in 1.0764, Hussain already hauling at 0.9675. Freddy hit shake, pedalled twice, headed for the centre line, pedalled again and pulled it back with his foot firmly planted. Meanwhile Hussain was really hauling the mail at the eighth 3.8535/311.42 way ahead of Freddy's 4.4537/284.41. Grace photographing at the top end called in that one of Freddy's headers was hanging down and scraping along the track in the shutdown area. Hussain's run subsequently DQ'd for a technical infraction. Roger to sixty in 1.0222, Norbert there in 1.0157. Roger's Mustang made a move left and he backed out of it before 330 feet. Norbert to the eighth in 4.1170/290.17, smoke from the motor in the second half. Michel to sixty in 1.0521, looked to be driving through shake, Kim to sixty in 0.9958. Robert had lost time by the eighth 4.2095/291.42, Kim visibly ahead at 3.9679/297.85. Mist then a huge cloud of smoke from Michel's motor past 1000 feet, the car disappeared from here. Clean-up crew called to the top end. Great match to end the session! Bruno to sixty in 1.0369, David already with the advantage at 1.0064. Bruno looked to drive through shake, David's car made a move left but he stayed wit it, nothing serious. Bruno to the eighth in 4.0019/301.84, David visibly ahead at 3.9439/306.64.

Again a pleasant morning, sun and high cloud, very gentle southerly breeze. The track has been sprayed and looks great. We posted yesterday's gallery at 23:00, you can check that out via the Event Index page together with Simon's end-day set of pit notes. A big Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics and Thank You for your support, especially Kai Plathan and Otto tuned in from Finland and Ivar Kolberg tuned in from Norway. As you can see we are utilising the popular split-screen format with stats on the right courtesy of TimeTree. If you would just like to see the race report full-width then click here. Courtesy of Tomas Pettersson you can find today's provisional running order on the Event Index. As you can see Sportsman eliminations are starting today, first up being Junior Dragster, Stock / Super Stock and Comp Eliminator. The two Pro sessions are scheduled for 10:00 and 14:00, today the cars go first and Pro Modified Q3 and Q4 will also include the Swedish Pro Modified Championship. The Swedish Championship runs within Q3 and Q4 will count for qualifying but the final, at the end of the day, will not count. The first round pairings, to run in Q3 are Jimmy Ålund v Rolf Simonsson, Micke Gullqvist v Michael Joneskog, Åke Persson v Micke Johansson, and Andreas Arthursson v Jan Ericsson. Finally, absolutely no greetings of any kind to those individuals with a career in Merchant Banking who insist on posting "So-and-so did such-and-such" on Facebook without having the courtesy to say where that "such-and-such" came from. Whatever they may say we all know that crediting us would blow the illusion of their being the fount of all knowledge. It can't possibly be that typing four or five more words is too much effort. I may be wrong but I am of the opinion that as the ones doing the nineteen-hour days we might expect a smidgin of courtesy. Maybe I'm just old and grumpy. Eurodragsterholics should feel free to humiliate the culprits, with the exception of the Top Doorslammer group who have permission to copy. Sportsman eliminations commence at 09:00, stay tuned and when racing starts we'll bring you the news. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
