This photo truly warms my heart! I had the luck to be able to gather them all in the line up
for a photo session at Sundsvall Raceway.. May I present the Super Girls in EDRS Super Comp!
from the left; Rebecca Karlstedt, Matilda Sjöström Andersson, Kristina Hägglund, Angelica Bäckman
Marita Granholm and Victoria Paulsson. They may be young, but they are super experienced after
many seasons in Junior Dragster. I hope they will continue for many seasons to come and I am sure we will have reasons to report about these ladies in future editions!
