Sunshine, not too high temperatures and a great track made the first day of qualifying for the Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals at Tierp Arena a perfect day for racing.

No fewer than six drivers recorded a 5-second run!. Leader after day one is Andreas Arthursson who recorded a great 5.843 seconds in his second run of the day. Jan Ericsson claimed the provisional number two position with 5.884 seconds and Andres Arnover from Estonia surprised with a great 5.886 seconds and is third. Michael Gullqvist, Mats Eriksson and David Vegter were the three drivers with a 5.9-second run.
