Hockenheim-ring Germany 26th<\/sup> August 2023: Qualifications continue at the Rico Anthes Quartermile Raceway at Hockenheim-ring. Competitors had two qualification sessions to improve yesterday’s time and position themself on the top of the list (This brings the total to four qualification rounds for the FIA and three for the sportsman classes). Races started around 10 o’clock, and like yesterday, the first competitors to line up were from the Pro ET class. After a Small pause due to rain, the races continue. The day stayed cloudy, but the sun did shine from time to time, which influenced the track temperature. It was all hand on deck for all crew chiefs to get the right combination. Top Qualifiers for the FIA categories are Jndia Erbacher (TF), Sandro Beilio (TM), Andres Arnover (PM) & Robin Noren (PS). Top qualifiers from the FIM categories are Rickard Gustafsson (TFB), Marcus Christiansen (STB), Jake Mechaell (SSB), Martin Newbury (PSB) & Leif-Erik Braune (JrDB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jndia Erbacher maintains her leading position in Top Fuel Dragster. After yesterday’s peddling down the track, the Swiss stormed into a 3.949-second at 498 km\/hr and improved her time by 0.013 seconds in Q4 (3.936-second at 500 km\/hr). Jndia is the only one so far to run into the three seconds and will have a bye run during eliminations and position herself in the finals (only three competitors in this class). Ida Zetterstr\u00f6m qualified in second place with a 4.028 (good improvement from yesterday’s five-second run due to tire shaking) and will meet third qualifier Susanne Callin in the half-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

No changes in the number one spot for Top Methanol! Sandro Bellio improved his time to 5.525 at 415 km\/hr, which was good enough to stay in the lead. Sandro will meet Jurgen Nagel in the quarter-final (only six competitors in Top Methanol). Surprise from Johnny Oska as he ran an arrow straight run against Tony Bryntesson in Q3. Oska stormed in 5.590 seconds at 414 km\/hrs, improved it by 0.017 seconds in Q4, and took the number two position. Tony Bryntesson is the third qualifier with 5.419 seconds at 401 km\/hr and will meet Linn Floysvik in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

New Leader in Pro Modified as the driver from Astonia (Anders Arnover) stormed into 5.863 seconds at 403 km\/hr. All competitors struggled to keep the car straight during Q3, but somehow Anders managed to get his Mustang into the 5.8 seconds. Arnover will have a bye run in the first elimination round (odd number car field). David Vegter also managed to get into the 5.8 seconds and maintained his second position. Remarkable is that Vegter qualified just 0.003 of a second behind Arnover (5.866 seconds at 393 km\/hr) and will meet Marcus Hilt (number 15th qualifier) in the first elimination round. Yesterday’s leader (Jan Eriksson) is now third with a 5.906 at 395 km\/hr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jake Mechaell is now the top qualifier after four sessions in Super Street Bike. Yesterday, 7.9 seconds was good for the number one spot, but today, that would have given you the fifth position, as Jake Macheal raised the bar for this weekend with a 6.793-second run at 348 km\/hr. Mathias Bohlin is now second with a 6.865-second run at 335 km\/hr, and Alan Morrison is now third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights in Super Street Bike is Dutch Female driver Margot Schmidt. Margot is getting closer to the 7.0 seconds. Margot qualified ninth with a 7.159 at 314 km\/hr, which is a personal best. Job well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
