Svein Olav going great guns but then smoke from the motor and a move left, almost as if a cylnder were out.
The bike was still under power but there as a lof of smoke from the pipes every time Svein Olav feathered
the throttle. Great nitro flames from Greger's bike until half track when it started moving right and he
had to fether. Something looked to come off Greger's bike in the last few feet, maybe a drive belt, a long way
away so difficult to say. Roman's front wheel looked to be up a fair way. was approaching the centre line in
the second half. Samu again rode his rear wheel right down the middle of his lane. Tommy staged a fair way to
the left of centre of his lane. Front end came up then banged down off the wheelie bar and the rear tyre unloaded and
smoked to the visible displeasure of his crew. Harri's motor hesitated a couple of times at the eighth and he was off the gas in the second half.

but Magnus had the better eighth 4.3056/264.58 to Jonas' 4.4358/259.37. Great match between Sampa and

for Thomas at the eighth 4.2338/268.39 to Christian's 4.3677/264.97. Huge cloud of smoke from Christian's
motor in the shutdown area, I wonder if Christian was unsighted as the car was drifting left. Got it stopped
with no dramas but track crew out for a look and both tractors called for a quick sweep of the shutdown area.

4.2182/269.33, Robin's car made a move towards the guardrail just before the eighth 4.4382/265.10,

of green flame from the right bank at 330 feet 2.4231/267.33, motor still running with a trail of fire behind it and looked from
here as if some fluid was spraying on to the track and burning off. 3.5407/348.84 to the eighth, smoked all the way down the shutdown
area. Tractor called to sled the surface. Problems for Patrik in the burnout, motor groaned and signalled to shut off, pushed
back. Not clear from here what the problem was, blower belt looked to be there still.

but got stopped without issue, very quick track check followed. Timo's tyres spun up at the hit, smoke and then a big ball of flame from the motor,
rolled to a hale at the eighth. Tet to sixty in 0.8604, through 330 feet in 2.2431/292.05, small amount of haze around the motor, through the
eighth in 3.2371/314.48 and looked to be on the gas right to the thousand. Clean-up in Timo's lane. Liam's car in the shade throughtout
the clean-up, Maja's car in the sun throughout the clean-up, tyres warm enough I would imagine and only the usual short squirt
of a burnout. Liam to sixty in 0.8511, Maja in 0.8619, big speed at 330 feet for Liam 2.1759/312.68 (192.49 mph), Maja's tyres starting to haze
at 330 feet 2.2538/279.07, a pedal for Maja as smoke was clearly visible from the base of her tyres, off the gas. Liam through the
eighth in 3.0995/442.99 (275.26 mph), Maja already off it 3.5765/256.17. Liam's terminal speed equates to 310.97 mph.
Stig to sixty in 0.8985, Jndia in a storming 0.8303, second quickest sixty I have ever seen, Stig to 330 feet in
2.4046/228.14 with tyres blazing, Jndia already long gone at 2.1541/312.68, Stig's tyres still smoking, the car was twisting
around and then crossed lanes behind Jndia who was through the eighth in 3.0584/454.55 (282.44 mph). Terminal speed equates to
318.96 mph. New European ET and speed records of 3.817 seconds and 513.31 kmh/318.96 mph
for Jndia, well done Jndia, Urs and team! Micke leaned out the motor on the way back from his burnout, motor really didn't want to stop but did eventually.
Anita took the bye, 0.8577 to sixty, 2.1861/307.87 at 330 feet, 3.1174/443.35 at the eighth with smoke from the motor then a bang and a ball
of flame before the thousand and chutes out.

and more thin smoke in the second half. Linn's FC jumped forward just as the lights ran, not sure she was not staged on her rear wheels
as the lights ran since the red didn't light. Race officials are investgating and we'll let you know what they conclude... and word is that
after the jump forwards the was staged in the area of its headers so the run does not count. Johnny to sixty in 0.9816, not much sign of shake,
3.8593/315.42 at the eighth. Sandrooo to sixty in 0.9567, Jonny in 0.9417 and had the quicker and faster 330 foot 2.4356/263.03 to Sandro's

Micke's tyres spun up at the hit, 1.2245 to sixty, pedalled then back on it, 4.6841/257.27 at the eighth and a grunt from
the motor in the second half. David outside the ladder going into this session, first run of the weekend for Stian. David's mare
continues, 1.0842 to sixty then shake, gave it a couple of goes with motor screaming then gave it up. Stian to sixty in 1.0098,
move left and right before the eighth 4.1717/292.84. Mikko to sixty in 1.0938, Jan in 1.0637 with shake and one chute dropped
out and opened up. Pedal for Mikko and to the eighth in 4.4070/265.88, Jan fighting his chute to the eighth in 4.8181/195.44
then off the gas in the second half, Mikko looked to back out of it a touch early. Mats also having a mare of a weekend so far
but woke up this morning and it was all a bad dream.
Tero to sixty in 1.0309, Mats in 1.0069 moving right then left and staying with it, 3.9347/309.46 at the eighth, Tero looked
to be taking it relatively gently in what is a new car, 4.3457/295.40 at the eighth. Peter to sixty in 1.0216, Kim in 0.9851,
heard a pedal for shake but not easy to say who, Peter to the eighth in 4.0768/298.18 and Kim in 4.0467/302.35.
Drama next pair as Michel Tooren's motor screamed on fire-up, car shot forward scattering his crew and knocking the quad out of the
way. The starter pack was found on the track past the Chriistmas Tree.
Start line safety crews rushed to assist, one of Michel's crew taken to the Medical Centre. Instant shake for Lars,
1.2948 to sixty with a hard right turn, off the gas and idled through. Wayward burnout for Dmitry, out of shape then up on
its two left wheels as he got off the gas. Dmitry to sixty in 0.9798, Jimmy in 1.0584 driving through a little shake,
Dmitry to the eighth in 3.9520/302.52 to Jummy's 4.0097/313.41, one wonders whtehr that was a conservative tune for
Jimmy to get one in the bank and step it up next time. No reverse for Erik and he drove up the track. Freddy hit shale
off the line, 1.0284 to sixty with a pedal, 4.1675/300.00 at the eighth. Michael to sixty in 1.0613, Åke in 1.0044,

eighth 3.9517/306.82 to Marcus' 4.2397/286.93, Marcus put on a lot of speed in the second half. Europe's quickest- and fastest-ever
side-by-side Pro Mod passes between Jan and Andreas, great race! Jan to sixty in 0.9785, 0.9957 for Andreas with a very brief thump
of shake, Jan storming through the eighth in 3.8242/319.34, Andreas right there at 3.8903 also at 319.34.
Red light was on Micke's side of the Tree before he staged, held back and cleared by the timing crew. Micke to sixty in 0.9762 then
bad shake and shut it off. 1.0614 to sixty for Jere, 4.0537/315.05 at the eighth.

Good morning and welcome from Tierp Arena for our coverage of the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals brought to you
in association with John Woolfe Racing.
It's a beautiful day here, not a cloud in the sky and already mild. Even discounting the rain it felt a bit autumnal yesterday
but not so today.
Quite an busy running order today. We start with E1s of Junior Dragster and Stock/Super Stock then we have no less than
three Pro sessions at 09:50, 12:50 and 16:50 (of which Top Fuel are contesting the first and last) with Sportsman eliminations
interspersed. You can find the running order on the Event Index courtesy of Marie Selander.
Today's plan is to post round winners in Sportsman classes - ladders will be found at right - and the usual full commentaries
and standings in Pro qualifying. As ever we will do our best to update between pairs during Pro qualifying so keep hitting
Refresh... you probably noticed that this worked nicely yesterday; this is mainly due to the fact that timekeepers Lotta,
Oscar, Maja and Petteri have been brilliant, as have all of the officials here in Race Control and elsewhere. There will be a gallery
courtesy of Julian at the end of the day.
Courtesy of Nitrozplay there is a free webcast which commences at 09:00 European/08:00 UK, you can find the link on the Event Index.
Nitroz are also offering an SMS alert service which will send you a text message when your selected classes run. A weekend's worth of
alerts costs 69 SEK per class and you can sign up at web.nitroz.se/notes.
A big Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Ivar Kolberg tuned in from Norway, Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto
tuned in from Finland, Bob Roberts tuned in from England and Benni Voss tuned in from Germany. A special Hello to our Eurodragster.com
colleagues Kirstie and Simon back in the UK.
Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you the news. In the meantime why not check out yesterday's gallery
which comes courtesy of Julian.
