Jens Eklund in Comptetition did his first race of the season and took the win here in Fällfors. He is taking it easy with racing this season as he have some other duties. But maybe we will se him and his beatuifull Audi at Tierp Arena in August.

In Jr Dragster Stine Aune Hasselvold qualified as no 1 and had a bye-run in first elimination, but didn´t show up in second round. that gave her opponent Pontus Söderlund a bye run. Pontus had a tuff time before the finals as he had to borrow Vilma Anderssons engine, due to some damage on his own. He got to the final vs Atle Poolssar who finaly took the win. Atle had 20th position in qualifying list when elimination started on Sunday. He went all the way to final and in the semifinal he also beat serie leader Tindra Christensen.

The F.U.N.N. Project, with Yasmine Bengtsson at the helm, was on site and had invited Svenska Bilsportsförbundet Dagracing Committees Jonas Staflund to informe about good behavior at a racetrack.

-Its very important that the children learn from start to be polite and have a good behavior at the track, both before and after a race, says Jonas. Just to show each other respect at a racetrack is very important for all competitors.
