While the next championship event is still four weeks away, the coming month is filled with a number of EDRS and national championship events in Scandinavia.
I will spend the nearest weeks attend- ing the NHK Festival at the gorgeous Sättna track outside Sundsvall, Sweden July 19-21st. In Sundsvall Pro Modified is run as part of the Swedish Championship with FIA Championship drivers like reigning Champion Micke Gullqvist and Alastaro runner-up Mats Eriksson on the entry list. The event is a full range EDRS European Drag Racing Series event.
The week after that awaits the EDRS Summer Nationals at Tierp Arena july 26-28th, also that part of EDRS and the Swedish championship, a championship which Speedgroup administer on behalf of the Swedish Auto Sports Federation, SBF. It is going to be a few intense, but enjoyable weeks I am sure!
