Today’s schedule was to run two qualification rounds (round 3 & Round 4) for all the FIA\/FIM and some of the sportsman categories and start eliminating Pro ET and Super Pro ET. However, several categories didn’t get the opportunity to do their last qualification round due to delays in the schedule and an unfortunate crash during qualification round four for Pro Modified (during the afternoon session). Of course, Saturday was also the day which included a night show, where several racers stunned the audience with some thrill passes at night, like Gerd Habermann on his Jetbike and Former Top Fuel champion Ida Zetterstr\u00f6m, who made a pass in her old car against Linn Fl\u00f8ysvik.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jndia Erbacher is still in the lead after three qualifying runs\u2014still no three-second run for Top Fuel Dragster (TFD); slight improvement here and there but nothing major. There was no improvement for Jndia today, but her 4.177 second from yesterday was quick enough to stay in the lead\u2014a slight improvement for Susanne Callin, which improved her time from 4.988 to 4.778 at 255 mph, therefore jumped from number three to the second spot. There was no improvement for Linn Fl\u00f8ysvik, which has now dropped one spot to the third place. Jndia will have a bye run. Linn will meet Duncan Micallef, and Susanne Callin will meet Danny Nilsson in the elimination round one. <\/span><\/p>\n

After four qualification rounds, Sandro Bellio is still in the lead of Top Methanol (TM). Unfortunately, we won’t see Bellio on the track this weekend. Belio hurt the car badly during the last qualification yesterday and won’t be able to repair it. Jhonny Lagg could not improve yesterday’s time and is still second with 4.384 at 434 km\/hr. Lagg will meet J\u03cbrgen Nagel during elimination. The third spot is for German driver Silvio Strauch, with a 5.565 at 405 km\/hr. Strauch will meet Tony Bryntesson in the first elimination round. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andres Arnover takes the lead in Pro Modified after four qualification rounds. Arnover thrilled the spectators with the first five-second run of the weekend when he clocked a 5.963 at 401 km\/hr on the quarter-mile during qualifying round three. Qualifying round four didn’t go as planned due to a crash. With<\/span>\u00a0one last pair still in the staging lane (yesterday’s top qualifier, Stian Rus\u00e5nes & Andres Arnover), <\/span>it was decided<\/span> to run the <\/span>last<\/span> pair during the night show. As neither improved their time in Q4, Arnover kept the lead and will meet Walle Strobel in the first elimination round. There was a significant improvement in Q4 for Roger Johansson, who also clocked a five-second run (5.984 at 393 km\/hr). Johansson ended up second and will meet Peter Wacker tomorrow. Michel Tooren claimed the third spot with a 6.003 second at 360 km\/hr and will meet Marcus Hilt during the first elimination round.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Micheal Malmgren is still second but couldn’t improve yesterday’s time (6.656 seconds at 335 km\/hr). A slight improvement <\/span>was made<\/span> by Robin Nor\u00e9n, who managed to clock a 5.698 at 331 km\/hr, but not fast enough to take second place and remain third. \u00c5lund will meet Stefan Ernryd during the first elimination round tomorrow, while Malmgren will meet Lars Britsmar.
