TIAINEN RACING

Drag Challenge 2000
August 4th - 6th Gardermoen Dragstrip
Last updated August 31th. 2000

This is the biggest dragrace of the year here in Norway.
Since it counts in the Nordic DragRacing Series we have visitors from Sweden and Finland. No Danes this year.
Morten had a lead-foot in the qualification, and could barely get over 9.90. At last he safed in on a 10.8 to avoid being last qualifier.

We were up against Konrad Ree in his '65 Chevelle in the first round, and lost on a 10.04 to a 10.08! Unfair it may seem, but Konrad had the better reaction-time.
This was the big crash and oil-down race of the year, so at last the organisers decided to call it a day after one round of eliminations.
