Eurodragster.com editor Andy "Tog" Rogers have provided a diary, which provide an insight to the Eurodragster.com staffs work and reflections behind the scene.

Co-ordinator Åsa Kinnemar provide an update about some of what is ongoing and scheduled for the forthcoming months

The winner takes it all. It’s always easy to say, ‘this was the best race ever’, but at least for the Top Fuel class (and not this class only) the Scandinavian Internationals was the best race ever seen in the FIA European Championship. A 3.97 seconds number one qualifying position, five 3.9’s in eliminations, a new European ET and speed record and not unimportant, close racing..

The championship has only two rounds left to run, so has now really turned into a two way fight. Mathematically, Michael could still be crowned champion, assuming Jimmy and Thomas both exited first round at both Tierp and Santa Pod and qualified very low. This seems unlikely.

The record large field of entrants at Tierp made the race directors preannounce an 8 car "B-ladder" in addition to the regular 16 car FIA Pro Modified field. Very few drivers were missing on site at Tierp, and although 22 (!) out of the 32 was Swedish the mix of nationalities and variety of stunning and fast performing cars makes this class great fun to watch for the spectators.

A full 8 car field in effect at Tierp Arena where the six Swedish teams on site was joined by Finland´s Ari Pietilä, newcomer in the class and Belgium´s Danny Bellio who is a true veteran and still going strong.

After having had none of the Top Methanol Dragster teams in competition since round #1 at Main Event in May, we finally had a field of entered teams although small at Tierp Arena.

The event is the concluding race in the 2013 European drag racing championships. It is round #6 for the FIA car teams and round #4 for the FIM Europe bike teams. In addition a large number of sportsman teams are on site to compete.

Although Holland doesn’t even have a permanent dragstrip, in the FIA European Pro Modified Championship the Dutch racers were always a force to be reckoned with. This season they seem to be better than ever before, as Marc Meihuizen won his first ever FIA race, David Vegter was in the final already once and Robert Joosten runs personal bests and advanced to the semi-finals in the last three races.

Åke Eliasson is one of our most talented Top Doorslammer drivers this season lead s the points table of the EDRS European Drad Racing Series with one event remaining. Åke has been in darg racing since 1980th in different ways. At the time mostly on the streets with his souped-up Volvo. But in 1996 there was other more important things to take care of.

Since the start in Super Comp a few years back, Robin Norén from Järfälla (Stockholm) Sweden and his team have aimed high and their appearance have been highly professional. It has now shown results and it’s time to raise the goals to another level.

For the last of the races at Tierp Arena 2013, the circumstances was perfect. Good air, sometimes as low as 40 meters below sea level and a warm track gave amazing results.

We are happy to announce the new revised contingency program for 2013. In this article we describe the concept and how this combined marketing platform and loyalty reward program will be operated. teams in the FIA and FIM Europe championships as well as EDRS European Drag Racing Series can be part and all current or potential busniess partner who wish to connect with the European drag racing teams!
