Friday at the NitrOlympX, Hockenheimring, Germany is always a question of easing into the event on the annual visit to the woefully underused Rico Anthes Quartermile. The first qualifying session was something that can largely be overlooked, with a lot of track hiccups, oildowns and delays although the second session was a slight improvement, but the track itself really was baking under the sun. Unfortunately, tomorrow (Saturday) looks to be even hotter, but it is what it is and there is a fair amount at stake in qualifying ahead of Sunday’s eliminations.

Jndia Erbacher raced to the provisional number one qualifying position in Top Fuel at the first day of qualifying for the NitrOlympX, the fourth round of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship at the Rico Anthes Quartermile of the HockenheimRing, Germany. In Top Methanol Sandro Bellio is the leader after two runs, while Stian Rusånes is the surprise leader in Pro Modified. In Pro Stock it was business as usual with Jimmy Ålund in the number one qualifying spot. With a driver from Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden and Norway in the lead, it’s a real European Championship.

Despite a couple of showers to interpret the schedule, the full set of FIM-E eliminations was completed at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena just north of Stockholm, Sweden. The knockout phase produced some surprises, some superb racing and some movement in the points as the European championship heads into its home stretch over the next month with two events remaining.

Susanne Callin raced to victory by defeating Duncan Micallef in the Top Fuel final for the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena, round three of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. In Top Methanol Jonny Lagg won the final over Johnny Oksa, while Jere Rantaniemi and Jimmy Ålund claimed the wins in Pro Modified and Pro Stock.

The second day of qualifying at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, Tierp Arena, Sweden, had some movers and shakers across the FIM-E classes and with the fields now set we head into eliminations tomorrow (Sunday).

Although there were several improvements on day two of qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena, three of the four Friday leaders remained in the number one position. Thus Duncan Micallef is the number one qualifier in Top Fuel with 3.791 seconds, David Vegter in Pro Modified and Jimmy Ålund in Pro Stock and they will lead their respective categories into Sunday’s eliminations of round three of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. Top Methanol was the only class with a new leader after day two as Sandro Bellio stormed to a great 5.50 seconds to take over the lead from Jonny Lagg.

Duncan Micallef claimed the provisional number one qualifying position in Top Fuel at the first day of qualifying for the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, round three of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship, at Tierp Arena, Sweden.

In Top Methanol Jonny Lagg is the provisional leader, while in Pro Modified and Pro Stock David Vegter and Jimmy Ålund claimed the provisional number one qualifying position after two runs.

Sunday saw a superb conclusion to the second round of the FIM-E Drag Bike championship season with barely a hitch through the day and some excellent performances providing some of the highlights.
