EDRS Pro Nordic MC kicks off in high gear with Tierp and Alastaro
With two races separated by only one weekend off, the EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship kicks off in high gear. The Tierp Internationals at Tierp Arena is once again the first meeting of the season, and after a one weekend break, the EDRS Pro Nordic MC teams will immediately meet again for round number two, the FHRA Nitro Nationals at Alastaro. The championship counts six different categories and will be decided in four races. The Tierp Internationals will be a first indication to see who are the favourites. Kalle Lyrén (Pro Stock Motorcycle), Samu Kemppainen (Super Twin Motorcycle), Thomas Pettersson (Top Fuel Motorcycle), Henri Kolehmainen (Super Street Bike) and Bianca Nilsson (Super Comp Bike) will all defend their 2016 titles, but will meet tough competition. A new champion will be crowned in Super Gas Bike after Janne Koskinen stepped up to Pro Stock Motorcycle this winter. Continue reading

The Main Event from a different point of view
The FIA European Drag Racing Championship kicked off with the traditional Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway. After two great days of qualifying with sunshine and summer temperatures, mother nature had other ideas for elimination day, and before the semi-finals arrived, rain brought an early end to The Main Event.
