‘Let’s go out with a bang’, was the slogan for the 2018 FHRA Nitro Nationals, the final drag race at Alastaro Circuit. The Finnish riders in the EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship took good notice of these words as they gave the home crowd plenty to cheer for. With Timo Savolainen, Toni Suokas and Jenni Pekkarinen three of the six categories were won by riders from Finland, while in Super Twin Motorcycle and Super Street Bike Marcus Christiansen (Denmark) and Mathias Bohlin (Sweden) took the win, but there were Finnish riders on the podium as well. In Top Fuel Motorcycle there was no Finnish competitor, and if there had been one, it would have been almost impossible to prevent Rikard Gustafsson from claiming his second victory of the EDRS Pro Nordic MC season. All qualifying and eliminations results were published on the Dragracingeurope.eu and FHRA websites during the event. In this article we look back at the highlights and other interesting things that happened during the second round of the EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship. Continue reading →
