\"Tierp<\/a><\/p>\n

Soon this area will be filled. About\u00a0300 teams\u00a0have signed in to Tierp Arena for the Tierp Internationals next weekend. Expectations are high for the event and it\u00b4s going to be a stunning racing weekend for all who will be there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tierp Arena is still one of the best dragracing tracks in Europe, if not in the world. All of Europe\u2019s top team come together\u00a0here for a big battle a twice a year. Many European records have been set at Tierp and this is what we\u00a0expect this weekend as well. The arena has been continually upgrading over the last few years, and is now an even better facility than it was at the beginning.<\/p>\n

-Over the last two years we have been finishing the main building with VIP areas, Lodges, Restaurant and so on with great view over the track, says\u00a0Pierre Tillaeus.\u00a0Plans for upcoming season\u00a0are to make our two European Championship races grow even more and also arrange our first concert ever at the arena.<\/p>\n

-Future plans are to build a track for international Rallycross events, hopefully finished by 2017, says Pierre.<\/p>\n

At the moment\u00a0there are\u00a0three people working full time at Tierp Arena and of course a lot more during race weekends. The track is prepared, as usual, by Kalle Brinell and is in record setting condition.<\/p>\n

Among many others we find in Pro Mod we find a new team. Rolf Simonsson has taken a step up from Competition where he raced last \u00a0year, ending the season in 10th place. In Competition we can welcome the beautiful Audi A5 Turbo in what\u00a0Jens Eklund won the series in last year.<\/p>\n

\"Comp<\/a><\/p>\n

Super Street is a class that increases at this event. With 15 racers it\u2019s a good start for the class to stay alive. Here we also find a long time no see participant. Jennifer Gustafsson from Borlange,\u00a0who\u00a0has ben a champion for several years in EDRS and previously NDRS, is now back behind the wheel. Jennifer came from the Junior Dragster ranks many years ago.<\/p>\n

That is what Julia Bor\u00e9n Stolst did as well.\u00a0These two former Jr dragster drivers are now mothers of two\u00a0children each, and\u00a0are getting back in the seats again. Julia is now driving a Super Comp dragster where here father Carl- Erik Kihlman is the crew chief.<\/p>\n

\"SC<\/a><\/p>\n

Pro Street have the impressive amount of 33\u00a0participants, a very popular class. And the drivers are from all over Europe.<\/p>\n

In the more or less Swedish class Stock\/Super Stock, we find this time three drivers from UK, which is\u00a0nice\u00a0as the class\u00a0is very small\u00a0in Great Britain. One of them is Rick McCann, who now actually moved to Sweden, just to be able to run in the class. Then we have the Williams family, Nic and Daniel\u00a0who\u00a0have their cars stationed with the McCanns family, who live close to Tierp Arena. They come over as often they can to race in Sweden.<\/p>\n

In the Super Street Bike class we, this year, find one girl. Ida Johansson is taking on the battle with the guys. And we have two drivers from UK here also. Richard Stubbins and Alex Hope have taken the trip to Sweden this time.<\/p>\n
