The EDRS Pro Nordic MC is ready for the grand finale at Tierp Arena
The Summit Racing Equipment Internationals is the fourth round and grand finale of the 2019 EDRS Pro Nordic Motorcycle Championship. Two months after the kick off, the EDRS Pro Nordic MC is back at Tierp Arena. Thomas Pettersson (Top Fuel Motorcycle), Marcus Christiansen (Super Twin Motorcycle), Vesa Ruhanen (Super Street Bike) and Fredrik Fredlund (Pro Stock Motorcycle) enter the final round as the leader in their respective categories. But one thing is for sure, not all four riders will claim the title, while all title contenders will have a tough fight for the final and decisive points. Peter Östlund and Heikki-Juhani Koskinen are the leaders in EDRS Pro Nordic MC Super Comp Bike and Super Gas Bike, and also in these two categories the last race of the season can make the difference between glory and disappointment.

Björn Mårtensson
All of us at Speedgroup were shocked and greatly saddened to hear of the sudden death of Swedish Top Fuel driver Björn Mårtensson, who died August 6th after suffering a heart attack.
Björn ‘Nitrobear’ Mårtensson was the driving force behind Nitrobear Racing and took part in several FIA European Top Fuel Championship races over the last few seasons. Less than two weeks ago Björn made some runs at Mantorp Park, to be well prepared for next weekend’s Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena. We had no idea that these runs were his final runs. Björn will be sorely missed by all of us in European drag racing. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and his Nitrobear Racing team members, and we hope they will find the strength to overcome this terrible loss.
Rest in Peace Björn
The board and everybody involved in Speedgroup
