Alastaro Circuit is located in south-east of Finland and is a very popular race circuit for all kinds of motorsports activity. Is just about an hour\u2019s drive from the \u00c5bo harbour and a couple of hours\u2019 driver from Helsinki. So it\u00b4s easy to reach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/DSC0261_Alastro-Spectators_LP540.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2106\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/DSC0261_Alastro-Spectators_LP540.jpg\" alt=\"Alastro Spectators\" width=\"540\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/DSC0261_Alastro-Spectators_LP540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/DSC0261_Alastro-Spectators_LP540-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Stock\/Super Stock the leading driver, Anders Eriksson from Borl\u00e4nge has not signed in, so the driver currently second in the table, Jarmo Markkanen has a chance to take points in Alastaro. So a lot can happen in this class in the upcoming weekends. We also find Rick McCann from England who has taken the long trip over the two seas to compete in Finland among 17 others in the class. Or maybe he just got straight from his new home outside Tierp this time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_5847_SSS-Jarmo-Markkanen_LP540.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2108\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/LMP_5847_SSS-Jarmo-Markkanen_LP540.jpg\" alt=\"SSS Jarmo Markkanen\" width=\"540\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_5847_SSS-Jarmo-Markkanen_LP540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_5847_SSS-Jarmo-Markkanen_LP540-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a>Even in the Super Street Bike we find an English driver, Richard Stubbins. He is in third position after Tierp Internationals. All top five drivers are showing up at Alastaro and we can expect a hard race, as there is not too many points between them. Ida Johansson is the only girl in the class and she\u00b4s right now at the fifth position in the table. Mogens Lund is at the top and Henri Kolehmainen is right behind.<\/p>\n<p>In Pro Street we can expect some changes after this weekend as none of the top drivers in the table is showing up at Alastaro. 16 participators are on the list and most of them from Finland except from Jens Petter Lindstr\u00f8m from Norway and Victor Roos from Sweden. Jens Petter is in fifth position in the table.<\/p>\n<p>This event is a great racing weekend and if the weather stays true to form, we can expect a warm and sunny weekend. And some of the drivers will have a dip in the barrel, as is a tradition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_6067_Bath-tub_LP540.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2107\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/LMP_6067_Bath-tub_LP540.jpg\" alt=\"Bath tub\" width=\"540\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_6067_Bath-tub_LP540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/07\/LMP_6067_Bath-tub_LP540-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>EDRS Pro Classes to be run: Stock\/Super Stock, Pro Street, Super Comp Bike, Super Gas Bike, Super Street Bike:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Results at: dragracingeurope.eu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Nitro Nationals at Alastaro Finland is very close now. 7-10 of July a lot of teams and spectators gather together at this special track in the middle of the Finnish forest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2110,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2105\/revisions\/2110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
