The 3rd day of the NitrOlympX drag races looked promising as the sun was shining early in the morning.  Anita Mäkelä  resulted to be the absolute winner of the NitrOlympX weekend (4rd round of the FIA European drag racing). Anita made two amazing passes setting a new record of 3.93sec. at the Rico Anthes Quartermile track at Hockenheim-ring.  Top fuel dragster final race was between Anita and Micke Kagered, both struggling to keep their dragster in a straight line,  but Anita took the win. Positioning herself now at the top of the FIA championship.
