The weather was not with the racers on race day during the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena. But in the end, all drivers and teams were happy that they could race at all, as eliminations started at 5 PM and when the curfew of 8 PM was there, Top Fuel, Top Methanol and Pro Stock had completed their semifinals and Pro Modified their quarterfinals. In Top Fuel Antti Horto and Timo Lehtimäki made the final an all Finnish affair, while in Pro Stock the two Swedes Jimmy Ålund and Stefan Ernryd would have had to race for the trophy. In Top Methanol Silvio Strauch would have been the winner as the driver from Germany had a bye run in the final.

Although there were several improvements on day two of qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena, the Friday leaders remained in the number one position with the ETs they recorded on day one. Thus Ida Zetterström is the number one qualifier in Top Fuel with 4.06 seconds, rookie Tina Høst Nedregård in Top Methanol, Andres Arnover in Pro Modified and Jimmy Ålund in Pro Stock and these four drivers will lead their respective categories into Sunday’s eliminations.

Ida Zetterström raced to the provisional number one qualifying position in Top Fuel at the first day of qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, the third round  of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship at Tierp Arena in Sweden. In Top Methanol rookie Tina Høst Nedregård surprised with a great 5.26 seconds to claim the provisional number one position. Andres Arnover is the leader in Pro Modified, while in Pro Stock Jimmy Ålund claimed the provisional number one qualifying position after two runs.

The opening two sessions of FIM-E qualifying at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, Tierp Arena were an occasionally troubled affair as a number of teams struggled to dial in to the track, but some local knowledge seemed to prove beneficial at the end of the day.

Save the best for the last, that was definitely the case for the Drag Challenge 2023. The final day of the Drag Challenge at Gardermoen Raceway was a great one with numerous great runs, close finishes and all eliminations completed.

With races at Pite Dragway, Sweden, and Kauhava, Finland, the Summit Racing EDRS Series drivers and riders had several chances to score points for the title race last weekend. Here the winners and runners-up from the FHRA Summer Nationals Festival at Kauhava, a race dominated by Finnish drivers and riders.

Last weekend’s part one of the Midnight Sun Internationals was a great success. After some great racing all winners and runners-up of the Summit Racing EDRS Series classes were awarded with their well-deserved trophies and championship points. And the best news is, part two of the Midnight Sun Internationals is still to come.
