The “Scandinavian Internationals” (August 10-13) in Tierp, Sweden are over and the cards for the NitrOlympX have been dealt and shuffled.
\nHere is a short summary of the FIA classes and the situation for the “Big Battle” on the Rico Anthes Quartermile.<\/p>\n
After Ida Zetterstr\u00f6m had already “delivered clean” in the first two rounds, she did not let herself take the “Sm\u00f8r from the Br\u00f8d” in Tierp: She was top qualifier with 4:061 sec. ahead of Finn Lethim\u00e4ki (4:169 sec.) and Swede Susanne Calin (4:533 sec.). Reigning champion Antti Horto (FIN) finished Q3 with 5:345 sec ahead of Dane Neergaard (7:549 sec).<\/p>\n
On Sunday Ida Zetterstr\u00f6m had a solo performance in the first lap, Susanne Calin sent herself into the trailer with a red light against Horto. Neergaard had to pass due to technical defect (no-show against Lethim\u00e4ki).<\/p>\n
In round 2 Antti clearly showed his class with a 3:853 sec \/ 503.26 km\/h. Ida faltered slightly at 330ft and only got a 6:048 sec. Timo Lethim\u00e4ki crossed the finish line after his bye run in 4:169 sec. Because of the weather conditions the elimination could not start until very late, it was not possible to race the finals.<\/p>\n
Current score in the TF overall ranking:<\/p>\n
In the second Swedish appearance, seven TM teams entered, five of which made it to the eliminations. Silvio Strauch, the German competitor qualified fourth with 5:542 sec. ahead of reigning champion Sandro Bellio from Belgium with 5:802 sec.<\/p>\n
In the co-round Silvio then drove his first opponent Linn Engan Fl\u00f8ysvik into a red light, repeated this “trick” in round two on top qualifier Tina H\u00f8st Nedreg\u00e5rd, and was thus in the final. Since Tony Bryntesson, who had a bye run in the semifinal, could not compete due to technical failure, Strauch would have had a solo run. Because of the weather it was not possible to start with the eliminations until very late, it was not possible to run the finals.<\/p>\n
Current score in the TM overall ranking:<\/p>\n
Once again the Pro Mods presented a huge starting field: 22 teams fought for 16 places. After four hard-fought rounds, the picture for the Eliminations was as follows:<\/p>\n
——-DNQ——-<\/p>\n
In the two rounds that were held, the “slugfest” continued briskly, so that the following pairings would have been lined up for the semifinals: Jan Ericsson against Freddy Fagerstr\u00f6m and Jimmy \u00c5lund (who slipped into the field as an “alternate”) against David Vegter.<\/p>\n
For the intermediate ranking before the NitrOlympX this results in the following constellation (in extracts):<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
20. Walle Strobel and Norbert Kuno \/ GER (31)<\/p>\n
In the all-Swedish Pro Stock Cars 9 drivers qualified for the Eliminations, the place in the sun was taken by Jimmy \u00c5lund in his Chevy Camaro with 6:593 seconds, who also competed in PM this weekend with his “second car” (a ’51 Chevy). In the second round, i.e. the semi-final, first Stefan Ernryd (6:699 sec.) defeated Lasse Britsmar (7:227 sec.), then Jimmy entered the final virtually without a fight, with 6:621 sec. against Robin Nor\u00e9n (27:494 sec.).<\/p>\n
So the Pro Stockers travel to Baden with the following points in their luggage:<\/p>\n
