Newsletter #11 2012 - the Scandinavian Internats Preview/NitrOlympX Report


With Aila and Danny Bellio, Top Methanol Funny Car driver who will be competing at Tierp Arena during the Scandinavian Internationals

This edition is a combined edition to provide a general preview for the Scandinavian Internationals run at Tierp Arena in Sweden August 23 - 26th. It also includes a summary of the recent NitrOlympX, which was round #4 in the FIA and UEM European Drag Racing Championships. The event was not concluded in four of the FIA car classes. We have therefore chosen to not provide the usual class by class review, but present in brief what happened in all classes and provide the links to the full Eurodragster.com coverage and results files.

Looking forward, the coming week present round #5 in the FIA and UEM Championships and is also a full blown EDRS event for the sportsman classes. Close to 300 teams on the entry list and we provide a preview to the FIA and UEM classes in a separate article.

Check the entry list under a separate headline and the FIA Pro Modified class which is the championships biggest class have been taken the pulse on by editor Robin Jackson, don´t miss that and as the tradition bid Eurodragster.com editor Andy Rogers also provide his personal diary with some interesting insight to what goes on behind the scene to make the event coverage form the championship events. That and much more under separate headlines!
