The festival spirit reigns as thousands of fans head for Sweden and the 36th annual edition of Europe’s longest-established major drag race. The continent’s best teams feature among more than 300 entries competing at the four day event. 2008’s race produced beautiful weather and famous British victories for Andy Carter in Top Fuel and Rob Turner in Top Methanol Dragster.Also in 2008, the race organisers, mindful of Mantorp’s short shutdown area, adopted NHRA’s new practice of running the fuel cars to 1000 feet. So which of our Top Fuel stars will be first to clock a 3-second elapsed time on European soil? And will it happen in 2009? Join us at Mantorp to see if history will be made.
