Jonnie Lindberg wins again at Pomona, Leanders, Ålund and Svensson less fortunate
The Circle K NHRA Winternationals kicked off the 2016 American drag racing season.

In Europe, the teams will be allowed to continue with naturally aspirated, carburettor power plants for the 2016 season. An EFI team would be allowed in to competition this year, however there are no such equipped teams therefore it is a largely irrelevant point. Continue reading
