Tierp Arena, Sweden 26^th August 2017: As the final qualifying rounds continues at Tierp Arena during the Dico international race, the eliminations rounds has started. In the Top Fuel class the last qualification rounds we’re run, but unfortunately most of them struggle to get good traction from the track. The only one who manage to perform a 3 second pass was Liam Jones with a 3.997. but this wasn’t an improvement on yesterday’s time which was a 3.946. So a minor change in the top qualifiers as Jndia Erbacher improved her time to 4.062, took the 3^rd place and pushed Mikael to 4^th place. Top 3 Qualifier 1^st Liam Jones, 2^nd Duncan Micallef , 3^rd Jndia Erbacher.
