FIA European Drag Racing Championship continues at the state-of-the-art Tierp Arena facility
After a great start at The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway, the teams of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship travel to Tierp Arena, the state-of-the-art drag race facility north of Stockholm. Can Stig Neergaard, Jonny Lagg, Bruno Bader and Jimmy Alund repeat their strong Santa Pod performances, or will the chasing group catch up with the provisional leaders?

Stig Neergaard in command at The Main Event
Stig Neergaard and his winning team

But nobody could, and so, starting from the number one qualifying position, the Swiss racer reset his personal best in the final, to take the win in the low elapsed time of the weekend, and beat reigning FIA European Pro Modified champion Michael Gullqvist. An impressive performance from the quick and consistent Bader. Continue reading
Jonny Lagg in personal best to Main Event victory

But when the moment arrived, Polidano’s motor caused problems and so Lagg had a bye run to the podium. Continue reading
