Championship leader Jimmy \u00c5lund<\/p><\/div>\n

Preview FHRA Nitro Nationals July 2-5th<\/sup>\u00a0– FIA European Drag Racing Championship round #3<\/p>\n

FIA Pro Stock Car<\/p>\n

In points lead before Nitro Nationals, Jimmy \u00c5lund who is after\u00a0his 10th<\/sup>\u00a0championship title. The capacity from \u00c5lunds car has so far been in a class of its own and European records have been set by \u00c5lund and crew at both championship rounds this season. An impressive ET of 5.498 is the most recent one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Thomas Lindstr\u00f6m<\/p><\/div>\n

Thomas Lindstr\u00f6m, whos is ranked second set a new PB at 6.56 at Tierp Arena. With drivers like Michael Malmgren and Magnus Petersson in the field nothing can be taken for granted.\u00a0 Their proven capacity is in the region of the\u00a0low 6.6 sec range, which can be enough to win rounds any time.<\/p>\n

Michael Malmgren<\/p><\/div>\n

Finland\u00b4s Richard Nixxon Sundblom makes the first championship appearance for the season, while Sampsa Palos was also part of the competition at Tierp Arena Sweden in June. ET: s around 6.70 should be expected from these two and possibly also lower numbers.<\/p>\n

A new driver in the class who makes his first FIA Championship appearance at Alastaro is Hannu Kalliom\u00e4ki from Finland. Swedes Ericsson and Ljungdahl do part of the championship and are entered at Alastaro. Ljungdahl in the ex-Malmgren car is still on a learning curve and we think a new personal best beating the current 8.50 sec will not be farfetched at Alastaro. Jan Ericsson has been running in the 6.70\u00b4s before, numbers which\u00a0can be enough to\u00a0pass the first round of eliminations at least without doubt.<\/p>\n

Simon Gustafsson<\/p><\/div>\n

Youngest in the class Simon Gustafsson, 25, the driver of the Samantha Racing Pro Stock Car is by now established and well accustomed to the class and the car. It will be interesting to see if Simon\u00b4s fresh 6.74 sec PB from Tierp can be repeated and beaten again at Alastaro. Tight and fast racing is more or less granted from this class. However every\u00a0track provides new challenges for all\u00a0teams and drivers, including champion \u00c5lund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
