The year started with a broken thumb after a mountain bike ride. I could only start the season at Santa Pod Raceway with plaster. But what followed, was even worse. We broke several engines and we had to call an early end to the season,\u201d said the Pro Stock Motorcycle rider from Norrt\u00e4lje, Sweden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6476\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.01.jpg\" alt=\"holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.01\" width=\"540\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.01.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.01-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the Swecomposite Racing Team decided to forget what happened and quickly look forward to 2017. \u201cWe updated the engines with a lot of new stuff. Thanks to our loyal sponsors we now have a competitive spare engine. We will start the season with some test and tune runs, probably in Malm\u00f6. Then we will go to Santa Pod Raceway and do all the FIM races and the EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship as well, including our \u2018home track\u2019 Tierp Arena as one of the highlights of the season,\u201d said Holmberg, looking forward to the start of the new season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.00.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6477\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.00.jpg\" alt=\"holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.00\" width=\"540\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.00.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrspro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/02\/holmberg_kenneth.pr_17.00-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Swecomposite Racing team members for several years have been Gabriella \u2018Gabbi\u2019 Nikolovska and Kent \u2018Kenta\u2019 Carlsson, and they will be back in 2017. \u201cAnd as usual we will get great help from family and friends at the events.
