Antti in imperious form, away first 0.0885 to Micke's 0.0930 and the better sixty 0.8500 to Micke's 0.8848. Micke hit shake, pedalled twice and gave it up about 200 feet out. Antti to 330 feet in 2.1972/301.84 (187.55 mph), the eighth in 3.1734/413.79 (251.72 mph), some smoke from his motor in the second half then a big puff just before the stripe.

Micke's 5.833 a new European ET record backed up by his semi-final ET, well done Micke!

Timo to sixty in 0.9309 then his tyres shook and the dragster moved left. A pedal for Timo whilst Sandro's tyres were still smoking, Timo's blower panel blew just before thew eighth 3.4801/237.15 to Sandro's 4.3903/319.34 and then it was a question of whether Sandro could catch him, and catch him he did.

16:54

Jimmy Ålund 6.5303/342.64 def. Stefan Ernryd 6.5870/333.75

FIA Pro Modified eliminations round 3

Åke Persson 6.0963/368.10 def. Freddy Fagerström 6.2831/361.20

Freddy, 300-foot burnout, high-speed backup, you know the script. The Tree ran very quickly after both staged. Åke handed Freddy his butt on a plate off the line 0.2582 to 0.4315, 1.0097 to sixty to Freddy's 1.0592. Freddy going remarkably straight whilst Åke's Camaro headed left and ran very close to the guardrail all the way. Visible lead for Åke by the eighth 3.9556/295.99 to Freddy's 4.1050/291.10.

Micke Gullqvist 5.8622/398.82 def. Jimmy Ålund 5.8842/389.05

Second weekend running we have the quickest side-by-side Pro Modified race in Europe. Micke away first 0.0602 to 0.0706, no shake for either, quicker sixty for Micke 0.9655 to Jimmy's 0.9735, Jimmy with the quicker eighth 3.8577/312.14 to Micke's 3.8614/313.23 but Micke had it in the bag.

14:15

FIA Top Methanol eliminations round 2

Sandro Bellio 5.4490/415.70 def. Dennis Habermann 6.5534/237.89

Sandro with the head start but Dennis with the better RT 0.0252 to Sandro's 0.0813, better sixty for Dennis 0.9153 to Sandro's 0.9375 but Dennis had to pedal for shake and then his dragster got very close to the guardrail. Sandro looked ahead at the eighth 3.5905/342.42 to Dennis' wayward 3.7011/273.28, Dennis pulled the dragster right and the blower relief panel blew and put a chute out. Storming PB for Sandro, well done Sando, Eurodragster.com sponsor Danny and team!

Timo Habermann 11.4593/153.50 bye

Odd-number bye for Timo. Tyres up in smoke at the hit, 1,1965 to sixty, already pedalled by then and drove gently along the track going through the gears.

14:05

FIA Pro Stock eliminations round 2

Stefan Ernryd 6.5951/338.13 def. Richard Sundblom 6.6310/335.40

Nixxon away first 0.0762 to Stefan's 0.0836 and the better sixty 0.9843 to 0.9930 but Stefan was visibly reeling him in even before the eighth, Stefan past him at the eighth 4.2482/270.14 to Nixxon's 4.2650/266.40.

Jimmy Ålund 6.5517/342.86 def. Michael Malmgren no time broke

Big holeshot for Jimmy 0.0459 to Michael's 0.1958, Michael with bad shake lost drive at the hit and shut it off. Jimmy to sixty in 1.0093 and the eighth in 4.2326/272.31.

14:00

FIA Top Fuel Dragster eliminations round 2

Micke Kågered 5.8864/186.79 bye, Liam Jones broke

Liam's safety device cut the motor and dropped the chutes in the burnout. Liam jumped out and climbed the guardrail, car left on the track about 100 feet out. 0.8897 to sixty for Micke, 2.3317/240.64 at 330 feet off the gas by then. Retrieval followed both of Liam's car and Micke's car which stopped on the shutdown area.

Antti Horto 3.9944/482.14 def. Anita Mäkelä no time DQ

Anita's back-up guy gave the car a shove backwards after the burnout, I thought reverse had not engaged but then Anita returned to the start line quite happily (probably literally knowing Anita). Scary race. Anita away first 0.1077 to 0.1230, Antti with the better sixty 0.8720 to 0.8852 and the better 330 foot 2.2234/303.88 to Anita's 2.2777/294.44, Anita blackstriping all the way and the car started drifting left at the eighth 3.2665/406.63 visibly trailing Antti's 3.1850/422.87 then Anita's car crossed lanes after the eighth. Antti was in front by this point but I think that everyone here thought that Anita was going to catch the back of Antti's dragster. Thankfully not.

Jan Sturla Hegre 6.1608/341.56 def. Peter Andersson (Ä) 10.8837/149.48

Great run for Sverre, had us worried going in to stage with a lot of smoke out of the pipes. 1.0684 to sixty, 3.9231/307.87 (191.30 mph) at the eighth with slight fishtail. Speed equates to 230.76 mph. Great run for Thomas and I am thinking a new PB or close to it, well done Thomas and team! However smoke and a groan from the motor in the second half and oil on the track. Great pass for Jan Sturla, motor stayed clean to about 100 feet then a flash of flame from the left side. Track checked and all OK.

12:35

Marcus Christiansen 6.5147/342.42 def. Anders Hörnström 6.6349/348.61

Another fantastic run for Tommy! 1.1516 to sixty, 4.2300/301.00 at the eighth, straight run too. Backs up his 6,311 in qualifying for an EDRS Pro record, we understand. Well done Per, Tommy and team! Ulf's motor hesitated and he was off the gas after the eighth. Lasse's motor quit not far off the line and he rolled to a halt at about 1000 feet. 1.2387 to sixty for Roman, 4.5248/323.94 at the eighth, close to the centre line in the second half. Trail of fluid all the way down the track from Lasse's motor, clean-up called. Samu not happy with something after his burnout and eventually shut it off before staging. Greger dodged a bullet, tyre up in smoke at the hit. Bike made a move right but Greger kept hold of it. Great run for Marcus, 1.1306 to sixty, 4.2412/282.72 at the eighth and a new PB I think, well done Marcus and team!

11:45

FIA Pro Modified eliminations round 2

Åke Persson 5.9457/392.44 bye, Jan Ericsson no show

Åke doing OK for byes today! No word on what ails Jan. Launch looked conservative, relatively at least, 1.0090 to sixty but visibly picked up before the eighth 3.9381/295.57.

Freddy Fagerström 6.1974/335.20 def. Rolf Simonsson 6.4810/337.50

Restrained burnout by Freddy, only 300 feet this time, getting off it by a spotter rather than the last photog. Freddy away first 0.1462 to Rolf's 0.3485 and the slightly better sixty 1.0030 to Rolf's 1.0051. Much better eighth for Freddy 4.0010/294.92 to Rolf's 4.1565/273.97. Rolf with the faster terminal and having come in as an alternate I would imagine that he will not be too disappointed to have got this far.

Jimmy Ålund 5.9915/330.38 def. Laura Saksa 5.9868/399.11

0.1286 to 0.1557 holeshot win for Jimmy but a fantastic début weekend for Laura. Jimmy with the better sixty 0.9734 to Laura's 1.0105 and the better eighth 3.8593/312.32 to Laura's 3.9954/311.06 but as is the wont of turbo cars Laura was reeling him in in the second half, just ran out of track. 248.00 mph for Laura.

Micke Gullqvist 5.8546/397.94 def. Bruno Bader 6.0800/372.16

Bruno away first 0.0555 to 0.1636, Micke with the better sixty 0.9626 to Bruno's 1.0145, Micke's Camaro started to move towards the centre line and he wrenched it back, stayed on the gas though, stormer at the eighth 3.8495/311.78 to Bruno's 3.9687/301.34.

11:30

FIA Pro Stock eliminations round 1

Michael Malmgren 6.5960/335.82 def. Thomas Lindström 6.6195/335.82

Thomas away first 0.0682 to Michael's 0.082, Michael started making it up by sixty 0.9716 to Thomas' 0.9789 and then the better eighth 4.2333/267.33 to Thomas' 4.2528/267.33. Those are not typos, eighth and quarter speeds the same.

Richard Sundblom 6.6724/334.78 def. Christian Sagelv 18.0428/101.43

Christian moved first 0.1220 to Nixxon's 0.1616 but then Christian's car lost drive and stopped dead. Nixxon to sixty in 0.9975 and the eighth in 4.3032/266.40, Christian found drive and drove gently through the gears.

Stefan Ernryd 6.6067/339.41 def. Bengt Ljungdahl 29.2328/37.01

Stefan and Bengt already met in qualifying after last week's eventful final at Hockenheim so any demons long laid to rest. 0.0524 to 0.1636 holeshot for Stefan, instant shake for Bengt and shut it off. Stefan to sixty in 0.9946 and the eighth in 4.2560/269.73, crew dancing on the start line.

Jimmy Ålund 6.5886/342.86 def. Magnus Pettersson 38.9170/23.15

Jimmy away first 0.0593 to Magnus' 0.0711. Instant shake for Magnus and shut it off. Jimmy to sixty in 1.0151, the eighth in 4.2674/272.04.

11:15

FIA Top Methanol eliminations round 1

Sandro Bellio 5.5242/383.52 def. Jonny Lagg 5.5571/423.20

Jonny made up a fair bit of the start line advantage with a 0.0581 to Sandro's 0.1484. Sandro to sixty in 0.9320 driving through the acceptable level of shake with a slight drift left, the better eighth ET 3.6078/334.99 to Jonny's faster 3.7312/349.06. Jonny's dragster made a move to the right in the second half but he had a hold of it.

Dennis Habermann 5.4045/430.28 bye, Micke Larsson no show

No Micke, no word why. Dennis to sixty in 0.9623, a brief pedal although the tyres were not visibly flapping the way they sometimes do. 2.4310/263.29 at 330 feet and 3.5763/349.06 at the eighth.

Timo Habermann 5.3055/431.31 bye, Petteri Liimatainen broke

Petteri's motor did not start, crew visibly frustrated with the best fling of a cable tie I ever saw. Great run for Timo, 0.9146 to sixty with no sign of shake, 2.3460/266.40 at 330 feet, 3.4860/349.97 at the eighth.

FIA Top Fuel Dragster eliminations round 1

Micke Kågered no time bye, Stig Neergaard broke

No reverse for Stig and looked to run over the feet of his crewman blipping the throttle trying to engage reverse. Crew guy hopped away visibly in agony, pulled himself over the guardrail and collapsed to the ground, his colleagues and start line crew rushed to assist whilst Stig drove down the track to clear it for Micke. A bang from the motor at the hit for Micke, safety device cut the motor and put out the chute. Micke stopped by the rail about 200 feet out.

Antti Horto 4.0805/454.16 def. Jndia Erbacher 4.2133/448.50

Again a brief burnout for Jndia. Antti visibly moved first 0.1191 to Jndia's 0.1366 and the much better sixty 0.8715 to 0.9428. An appreciable lead for Antti at at 330 feet 2.2321/297.68 to Jndia's 2.3796/292.52 and visibly ahead at the eighth 3.2265/404.80 to Jndia's faster 3.3582/414.11. Smoke from both motors in the second half, both looked to shut it off before the stripe. Blackstripe most of the way down Jndia's lane. Safety crews chased both cars down the shutdown area. Precaution I think as they went back on station very quickly.

Liam Jones 4.0323/486.05 def. Stefan Gunnarsson 5.6261/198.60

Liam visibly drilled Stefan at the Tree 0.0821 to 0.1052, slightly better sixty 0.8605 to Stefan's 0.8690, Stefan hit shake and pedalled twice, Liam visibly ahead by 330 feet 2.2371/292.52 to 2.4446/232.56 and pulling away at the eighth 3.2226/418.93 (260.31 mph) to Stefan's slowing 3.8948/240.53. 302.02 mph at the stripe for Liam.

Anita Mäkelä 4.1033/472.03 def. Duncan Micallef 5.3470/272.04

Anita moved first 0.1612 to Duncan's 0.1650, Duncan with the better sixty 0.8901 to Anita's 0.8926. Duncan hit shake, two pedals and gave it up before 300 feet 2.7488/203.85, Anita on her way and blackstriping 2.2970/293.80. Duncan well off the throttle by the eighth, 4.0708/322.20, Anita long gone 3.2778/417.96 (259.71 mph). Blackstriping continued, Anita's car headed towards the guardrail in the seocnd half but she was not getting off the gas for anything, close to the guardrail past the stripe. A bang from one of the motors in the second half and safety crews went after both cars, again went back on station quickly.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Dico Internationals brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

It's another nice day here at Tierp Arena. Blue sky, a bank of cloud way north of here but looks to be breaking up. Again a gentle breeze up the track.

As usual at Tierp we will be using the popular split-screen format for the reports. We will be providing commentaries on Sportsman classes but of course the usual full coverage and standings in Pro classes. There is no webcast of this event by any party so you will have to slum it with us for one more day.

We have a birthday on the team today: a big Happy Birthday and many more of them to our always-working photographer Julian. Julian is already out in the pits getting pictures; I did try to tell him to sit back and eat cake but that's not him. Have a great day Julian.

The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is tuned in from Essex, NH. Hope you are having a good weekend Kathy and that the bridge is going OK. Again a big Good Morning to our Eurodragster.com colleagues Kirstie and Simon and Contributing Photographer Callum who are at Shakespeare County Raceway for this weekend's APIRA Open Sport Nationals where Simon and Callum are again having their hard work ripped off by 8.50 Bike racers and Kirstie is racing in Sportsman ET. Kirstie worked up a credit against her next firing by holding #1 qualifier until relieved of it by 0.001 by team-mate Andy Dibley, who has perforce been made a member of the Eurodragster.com staff so that we can fire him. OK Dibley you're fired. Good morning also to all of the Eurodragsterholics, especially Kai Plathan and Otto in Finland and Ivar Kolberg in Norway; thank you all for your support.

Today's running order kindly supplied by Race Director Tomas Pettersson has E1s of FIA Pro Modified and EDRS Pro Super Street Bike at 09:30 followed by E3 of Junior Dragster, pre-race ceremonies, then E1s of other Pro classes and E2s of Pro Mod and SSB. It's going to be one of those "Keep hitting Refresh" days when we get going so tune back ay 09:30 and keep hitting that button.
