The season is about to start. And one of the early events of the season is the SFI European Inspection Service. The event is a bit scaled down this year due to the last years of restrictions. The information from SFI is as follow.

At its meeting on 15^th December the World Motor Sport Council of the FIA approved the six round 2022 FIA European Drag Racing Championship calendar:

26th-29th May, Great Britain, (Santa Pod Raceway)

16th-19th June, Sweden (Tierp Arena)

29th june-2nd July, Finland (Kauhava)

11th-14th August , Sweden (Tierp Arena)

26-28 August, Germany (HockenheimRing)

8th-11th September, Great Britain ( Santa Pod Raceway)

She came to complete her licensing runs, saw the finish line in a superb 3.862 seconds and conquered the Euro Finals Shootout Top Fuel trophy by winning the final over Susanne Callin. In her first full pass Ida Zetterström stormed into the top four of the quickest Top Fuel drivers in Europe, a top four dominated by women. Those who are chasing the 2022 FIA European Top Fuel Championship title know that they have a new force to be reckoned with.

The weather was not with the racers at Tierp Arena on Sunday. With the quarter finals of Pro Modified and Pro Stock, and semi-finals of Top Methanol completed, it started to rain. With more rain to come in the next couple of hours, the race director was left no other choice than to cancel the remainder of the Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals.

After another great day of qualifying Jan Ericsson (Pro Modified), Jonny Lagg (Top Methanol) and Jimmy Ålund (Pro Stock) claimed the number one qualifying positions at the Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals at Tierp Arena and will lead their respective categories into Sunday’s eliminations. Although not a race for the FIA European Drag Racing Championship, the 25 teams from the three FIA classes will do everything they can in tomorrow’s eliminations to take the trophy with them back home.

Andreas Arthursson raced to the provisional number one qualifying position in Pro Modified at the first day of qualifying for the Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals at Tierp Arena. In Pro Stock Jimmy Ålund claimed the provisional number one qualifying position while in Top Methanol Jonny Lagg is the leader after day one. Although not a race for the FIA European Drag Racing Championship, 25 teams from three FIA classes take the opportunity this weekend to test and race in championship conditions.

This weekend the FIA European Drag Racing Championship should have seen the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, round four of the title race at Tierp Arena, Sweden. Due to the corona pandemic and travel restriction the first three rounds of Europe’s most prestigious drag racing championship had to be cancelled, with the result that in the end the 2021 FIA European Drag Racing Championship had to be called off. But still no fewer than 25 cars from three different FIA classes are at Tierp Arena this weekend to compete in the now called Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals.

They have been well prepared and ready to go for quite some time, but now it’s finally time for action. In two weeks Vegter Pro Mod Racing will travel to Sweden to make their first runs of the season at the Summit Racing Scandinavian Nationals at Tierp Arena. The new coloured and updated Vegter Pro Mod Racing ’67 Chevrolet Camaro is ready to go for some quick elapsed times at the Swedish track. “Finally, after 23 months it’s time for some action again. We’ve really missed this,” said a happy David Vegter.

It was a major surprise for many, the breaking news that Ida Zetterström made the switch to Top Fuel. Only a few insiders knew her dream, passion and great desire to run in one of these quickest and fastest accelerating vehicles on earth. The current EDRS Pro Nordic MC Super Street Bike champion will join Rune Fjeld Motorsport and will start licensing as soon as possible, with the ultimate goal of running a full FIA European Top Fuel Championship in 2022.

After many months of delay and uncertainty on a final decision regarding the 2021 FIA European Drag Racing Championship at the Tierp Arena (Sweden) in August and Santa Pod (UK) in September we have along with the FIA reached a decision that even a 2-round FIA Shootout Cup will not be possible to hold due to the covid-19 restrictions with travel and quarantine regulations.
