Three days of racing was the plan that NDRG crew had for Gardermoen’s first event of the season, but the weather Gods was not on the organisers side. But there were a few rounds done anyway and points was delivered out of that. 

Resuming after over two years of deferral it was perhaps to be expected that the opening day of FIM-E qualifying at the Main Event would be something of a hit and miss affair and this wasn’t exactly aided by a stiff cross breeze that will hopefully dissipate overnight.

Ida Zetterström raced to the number one qualifying position in Top Fuel at the first day of qualifying for The Main Event, the first race of the 2022 FIA European Drag Racing Championship. The Top Fuel rookie recorded 4.14 seconds in her first run of the day. In Pro Modified local hero Nick Davies surprised with a great 5.921 seconds to take the lead. In Top Methanol reigning champion Sandro Bellio stormed to a great 5.54 seconds and is the provisional leader after day one.

A bit of a chilly and overcast start to the European season with the resumption of the FIM-E championship after a 2 year hiatus thanks to, well, we think everyone has had enough of the C word for now, so it was good to catch up with some of the contestants setting up and getting ready for qualifying to commence tomorrow and Saturday before we head into eliminations on Sunday.
