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

FIA Top Methanol Funny Car<\/p>\n

During the recent Tierp Internationals there was a nasty incident where the car of Mikael Larsson got over in the wrong lane and hit Leif Andreassons car. Although both drivers were ok, the damage to the cars was extensive. At this time and as far as we know Andreasson is going get the car race ready in time for Alastaro and Larsson, who is also on the entry list is not.<\/p>\n

Johan Lindberg<\/p><\/div>\n

Last year at Alastaro Johan Lindberg was highest on the podium at Alastaro with Finland\u00b4s Johnny Oksa as runner up. Low ET of the event that time Lindberg 5.74 sec. At the Tierp event in June Oksa ran those numbers, while Andreasson and Lindberg clocked 5.6 sec runs. Ari Pietil\u00e4\u00b4s previous personal best is 5.86. The class is in recession and\u00a0only a few teams are scheduled to do the full championship (six events in four countries) and teams\u00a0are scattered\u00a0geographically with only the Swedes and Finns within reasonable distance to more than their homeland\u00a0championship event.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, despite the low entry numbers the funny car teams provide a great show. And if the Alastaro track is as good as we anticipate and hope, the competition will not be disappointing. Andreasson in championship lead. And this is a racer who does not give in for anything which not the recent weeks is more than proof of. So reigning champion Johan Lindberg, beware…<\/p>\n
