Tierp ‘Summit Racing Equipment International’ [Day-4, Finals]

by aikoman

Tierp Arena, SWEDEN 26th August 2018: It is Sunday! Unfortunately, no sunny Sunday as it has rain in the early morning. The track crew did their best to re-prep the track after the rain and the first elimination could start. First Elimination round for Pro Modified, followed by a moment to honor the Swedish National Anthem (The Du Gamla, Du Fria) sing by Josefina Kviegård.

The 27 years old Swedish singer from Tierp, had the opportunity to sing the national anthem for the fourth time at Tierp Arena since 2016.

Anita Mäkelä takes the win in Top Fuel Dragster with a stunning 3.877-second run. The first elimination race between Michael Kågered and Patrik Pers ended in what seems to be the slowest Top Fuel race, as both struggled at the start, parachutes came out and both rolled down on momentum to the finish line. Michael cars stopped just before the finish and Patrik takes the win with a 22.534 second at 33 km/u. probably not the way Patrik would have wanted, but a win is a win.
