To say that Tina H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd\u2019s last week has been a rollercoaster, is even an understatement. The Jedborn Motorsport driver won the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals to take the lead in the FIA European Top Methanol Championship, to see her dreams collapse a few seconds later when the parachutes of her dragster failed to deploy and she ended in the Tierp Arena sand trap with a destroyed car. End of the season and championship dreams gone. But the drag racing family once again proved to be the best in the world as a text message from Dave Wilson turned the world around again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

After an impressive debut at Tierp Arena in August 2023, the plan for Tina H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd and Jedborn Motorsport was to run the full 2025 FIA European Top Methanol Championship. The season started really well with a place in the (rained out) final at Santa Pod Raceway and it went even better at Tierp Arena with a 5.29-second run in qualifying and two elimination round wins in 5.32 and 5.30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd in the Daniel Jedborn tuned Jedborn Motorsport A-Fuel Dragster claimed the win over Tony Bryntesson. But a few seconds later, H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd found herself upside down in the gravel trap with a destroyed dragster as the parachutes failed to deploy when she crossed the finish line at 445 km\/h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all the safety equipment H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd was unhurt, but that could not be said about the chassis of the Jedborn Motorsport A-Fuel Dragster. It meant an early end to the season, just at the moment H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd took the lead in the title race with a 46-point advantage over Bryntesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom winning my first race in a record setting field in Top Methanol to seconds later having a race car in pieces. My first podium was as emotional as it can be. It was difficult climbing to the top of the podium, but with the fantastic drag racing family cheering and applauding like I won the world championships, I managed to keep my head high,\u201d said H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd about the emotional podium ceremony at Tierp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drag racing family proved to be the best as help was offered from all directions, but still, without a car it\u2019s hard to race. Until H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd got a text message from Dave Wilson. \u201cIt was already amazing all the help we were offered, but when I got Dave\u2019s message, I was really lost for words. Dave offered us to borrow his dragster. We only had to fit our own engine and clutch. Unbelievable. It will not be fixed in time for Hockenheim, but on the Monday we will travel to England and start building the car. Our whole team immediately took some days off to come over and help. They are the best! We will test the car on the Wednesday, the test day prior to the European Finals. Keith Bartlett, Dave and our whole team do everything to make this happen. It will be a race I will never forget, I\u2019m already sure about that. I\u2019m so grateful and happy. Keith Bartlett, the Santa Pod staff, FIA, family, dragracers, sponsors, friends and our amazing team, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The drag racing family is the best in the world, they once again prove it,\u201d said H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd, still flabbergasted about the unexpected comeback in the championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
