Good morning and welcome to day 4 of our coverage of the FIA/FIM-E Tierp Internationals from Tierp Arena. Once again the weather is warm with high cloud. Temperature is 18C rising to 23C with wind of 7mph from the east. Density altitude from airdensityonline.com is 700ft rising to 1000ft. Grains of water are 50-70. Not bad conditions.

Qualifying finished yesterday and we had some stellar performances and no major incidents. Commiserations to those who have had mechanical difficulties and couldn't make eliminations. Congratulations to those who got around some quite tricky conditions to record decent times. You can see final qualifying at this link.

Hi to colleagues Julian and Diana at Santa Pod Raceway for the STP Sportsman Nationals and to former editor Tog at Melbourne Raceway for the Straightliners Championship round 4 event. You can see links to these events on our home page, the first time this site has covered three events on the same weekend. Hi to Eurodragsterholics everywhere, thanks to longtime supporter Bob Roberts for getting in touch and to photo contributors Lena Per&eacutre;s and Mike Kraaij.
