Association Trophee Dragster (ATD) was founded in 2004 and has been organizing the championship ever since. It’s a group of volunteers who share the same passion and want to enrich the drag racing culture in France. Many of them have a family member racing or competes themselves in the championship. The central location of Clastres Raceway makes it attractive for racers from all over Europe (Swiss, Belgian, German, Italian, English, Dutch, Spanish, etc.). One of the highlights of this year’s championship was the new track record set by Sebastien Lajoux, who stormed across the finish line in 6.647 seconds at 333 km\/hrs (Track record in elapsed time & speed). Let’s recap the winners of this year’s championship for the Categories Super Pro ET, Pro ET, Supercomp, Supergas & Junior dragster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In Pro ET, it is Peter Soursas who won the 2023 championship! With a new leader after each race, it was an exciting championship. Laurent Levi, and Peter Soarsas, were close to each other after the second round, but Dirk Kunold joined the battle in the final race of the championship. All this changed in the last race when Dirk & Peter both got eliminated in the sem-finals. As Arnold Hol is the one who won the race, Peter gained enough points to win the championship (251 points). Dirk Kunold is the championship runner-up with 243 points. The third qualifier for Pro ET is Arnold Hol, who gained 215 points. Laurent Levi end up in fourth place with 197 points.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Trophy Dragster championship and the 20th anniversary of Association Trophee Dragster is a fact. The first round was held under a mild sun, and the second round with much higher temperature. The final round was rainy, but that didn’t stop the teams from mobilizing to Clastres Raceway and giving everything they have, to win the championship!<\/p>\n

We from The Chronicles of Boost want to congratulate all winners. We also want to congratulate the organization with their anniversary, and give all the Dutch competitors a special section. Check out the table below with the best picture of the weekend, from all the Dutch Competitors.<\/p>\n
