Lindberg Bros is the well-known pair of Swedish brothers, who during the latest years  competed among the elite in European drag racing. Big brother Johan Lindberg won the European Pro Modified Championship in 2010. For the season 2013 the brothers are going for it in Top Methanol Funny Car with two identical cars.

Pro Mod racer Adam Flamholc have his hands full, having spend the season 2012 and beginning of 2013 running in the ADRL series in the US. A while back the plan was to ship the Pro Mod car back to Europe and on addition compete in the methanol funny car class.

During the later part of May, Europés best team will gather in the UK at Santa Pod to compete at the first FIA Championship event, the Main Event.

The  EDRS Nationals is the season opening event in drag racing at Tierp Arena. The event is included in as well the Swedish Championship as the EDRS European Drag Racing Series.

With 2900 members and 60 member clubs FHRA is a strong organization and force to count with in Finland. It´s form of organization is also unique since FHRA work not only as an organizer, but work with all aspects of drag racing on a national level and interact with the drag racing community worldwide.

Two of the FIA Championship tracks have undergone resurfacing for the 2013 season, Santa Pod Raceway (featured in a separate article) and HockenheimRing.The 28th NitrolympX is arranged August 9-11th and is part of the FIA and FIM Championhsips (cars and bikes) as well as having opened up for more classes  from the EDRS European Drag Racing Series.

After a cold and long winter it’s time to smell some nitro again! As usual the new season will kick off with The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway and might be a first indication who will be the title favourites this year.

While the methanol dragster category drops in numbers of teams this season, the methanol funny car class has attracted interest from new high profile teams and there is a good chance we will see a boom in the class this summer.

As the 2013 FIA season looms into view, the eternal Pro Mod question arises: who can beat Michael Gullqvist? The facts and figures bear out the question. Pro Mod became an FIA class in 2006. Of 35 races conducted since then, Gullqvist has won seven and runner-upped at five.

As we approach the commencement of the 2013 European season with the opening event at Santa Pod in England, we have seven confirmed entries at the time of writing

The National Hot Rod Association has granted approval of Bluetooth technology to select Racepak data recorder models. The usage of Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for the traditional programming cable between the user's PC and the Racepak data recorder.

At last the high strength steel tubes starts to come out on the market. It´s has been a long journey to conclude the history about the new racing tubes.  Tubes that going got be a complement to Chrom Moly tubes that door slammer drag racing chassis have to be built in.

After a very loooong winter, it´s time for racing again! After one season, Speedgroup´s divisional racing continuous with some new tracks replacing some old.

The Granholms sisters Johanna and Marita are doubling up the team this season. They recently bought Micke Kågereds two seat or "double" dragster and are also going to race in the Super Comp class. It’s going to be a full season. So everyone who wants to take a ride with Marita or Johanna behind the wheel in the two seater or see them racing is going to have a ball this season.
