After rain brought an early end to the eliminations of the Tierp Internationals, several racers immediately headed to Tallhed Dragway for the next round of the Summit Racing EDRS Series, the Helloil Midsummer Festival. The drivers and riders got their revenge on the weather as they got plenty of track time with many qualifying runs and after several great elimination rounds, the winners were awarded with trophies and championship points on Sunday afternoon.

Here are the winners and runners-up of the Helloil Midsummer Festival 2023:

Sunday morning saw a significant change in the weather at Tierp Arena with cool and overcast skies replacing the hot and sunny conditions that dominated qualifying, and before the semi-finals could be run a rain front eased its way from the south mid-afternoon curtailing activities.

With the Top Fuelers in the line-up for their semi-finals, it started to rain at Tierp Arena, and with the forecast of more rain to come in the next couple of hours, the race director was left no other decision than to cancel the remaining rounds of the eliminations of the Tierp Internationals, round two of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. At the moment the race was cancelled, all leaders in the championship after round one at Santa Pod Raceway were still in the race for a second consecutive win.

Second day of FIM-E qualifying at the Tierp Internationals and hot conditions and a tricky startline led to something of a hit and miss affair across the four categories.

On her last run of the day Ida Zetterström stormed to the lead in Top Fuel qualifying for the Tierp Internationals at Tierp Arena, round two of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. In Top Methanol, Pro Modified and Pro Stock there were also numerous improvements and changes in positions, but Friday leaders Johnny Oksa (Top Methanol), Andreas Arthursson (Pro Modified) and Jimmy Ålund (Pro Stock) remained the number one qualifiers and will lead their respective categories into Sunday’s eliminations.
