The Championship title is realisticly decided but the Runner Up position will be a battle between the two parallel twin powered bikes in the class. The Thunderstruck against the Beast!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We have had some issues during the earlier races and the Drag Challenge at Gardermoen was the first race we could use the power at a good track under decent conditions, says Per.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We produced good times in qualifying with a best of 6.41 seconds but went out in a disappointing first round loss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After a lot of hours in the workshop since Norway we seem to have found a few gremlins that\u00b4s been haunting us and with a quality track at the Tierp Arena facility we hope to lower our personel best in qualifying. Elimination day is another thing as you know but we hope to beat Hans-Olav in the final, Per says with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; On the Saturday we will have a lot of invited guests and sponsors at our pit and we will do our very best to put on a show to be remembered for some time, Per ends.<\/p>\n<p>The Scandinavian Internationals will be the biggest race ever at the Tierp Arena facility with 332 competitors!<\/p>\n<p>A big thank you to the following partners for your support:<\/p>\n<p>Red Line Oil Scandinavia, Autoexperten V\u00e4xj\u00f6, Bilservice i \u00c5seda AB, R\u00e4vem\u00e5la Bilservice AB, Liqui Moly, Pers\u00e5kers Speedshop, Fanhultstv\u00e4tten \u00c4lmhult, Ulvsg\u00e5rden AB, Gates\/L\u00f6nne, Swedcut, Per Andersens Restauranger, Flexoart and Bentec Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Beast team please visit the website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bentec.net\/\">www.bentec.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also follow the Beast team on Facebook under the name \u00a0<em>The Beast Dragbike.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scandinavian Internationals at Tierp Arena the coming weekend is the final race in the EDRS Nordic Pro Motorcycle Championship and will be a very tough battle in the Super Twin Bike class.
