Time to load trucks, trailers and cars for one of the biggest event ever in Scandinavia. Tierp Arena and Scandinavian International hosts so far 363 teams this\u00a0weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The biggest classes are the Stock \/ Super Stock with incredible 47 teams and close behind them Jr. Dragster with 43 young drivers. In all other classes we find also many participants, so expect a very busy weekend. It\u00b4s now also time for EDRS finals in all classes except for FIA classes. It is also the final of the Swedish championship in Competition, Super Stock, Modified and Pro Jr. Dragster. Pro Modified is the only class that runs the final in both EDRS and Swedish Championship this weekend and up on that it\u00b4s a FIA class. So they have a busy weekend.<\/p>\n

Some interesting drivers\u00a0coming in from abroad to compete. In Stock\/SuperStock we go an American driver, Buster Cadle. He is running a super stylish Dodge Dart and currently lives in Gothenburg. We also have a couple of Russian racers participating. Dmitry Samarukow in the Top Door Slammer and Oleg Kondakow in Pro Street. Dmitry did race at Tierp in June as well, but for Oleg the first time outside Russia.\u00a0The interest of European drag racing is growing in Russia and Drag Times, who arranges the the Russian Championship also comes with a group of Russian drivers to feel the mood at Tierp Arena and to look for new cars.<\/p>\n

The EDRS Pro Modifieds top three is Michael Gullqvist, Mats Eriksson and Anders Nilsson. Gullqvist is 57 points up on Mats, who is only seven points ahead of Anders. It will certainly be a fight between these boys for top positions. Mats had massive problems in Hockenheim last weekend and have a lot to fix in short time. Gullqvist also had some technical problems last weekend. But both drivers are eager to get to Tierp and fight for all the titles there are to get.<\/p>\n

In Stock \/ Super Stock is Finnish Jarmo Markkanen and Tarmo\u00a0Mikkola pretty tight at the top, followed closely by Ari K\u00f6rkk\u00f6 from Sweden. But because there are 47 participants in the class, it will not be an easy battle to win this weekend.<\/p>\n

In Jr. Dragster Central leading Simon Andersson and Lucas Karlsson have followed each other throughout the summer races. But Simon has now taken the lead with 88 points, which can be difficult to beat. But who knows. Closer to each other are Lucas and Patrik Lind where there are only 11 points different. Tough racing is to expect here, too.<\/p>\n
