Interesting. For 2011, Finland had the most TF-car entries in the European Drag racing chamionship.

Sort of a powerhouse for nitro racing on two wheels as well. Finland had the most entries in both Top Fuel Bike and Super Twin Top Fuel Bike in this years Euro drag bike championship.

How big are you talking? What are the car counts in Finland? Are they running the quarter mile?
 
It's GREAT to see the sport growing WHEREVER it is growing.

I think everybody enjoys seeing the racers from other countries qualiifying and competing at the selected NHRA events they are able to attend.

Shipping your stuff half-way around the world?? Now, THAT'S a serious racer!

According to Eurodragster.com

European Drag Racing News.

Ahonen Racing has purchased Bernsteins equipment.

Thats the Janne the ski jumper on the left with Urs Erbacher
 
A wee scary though he may appear, Urs is actually a sweetheart of a guy.

Couple of years ago at Vegas2 he was busy packing his chutes to get back in the lanes for qualifying, yet took the time to chat up the surrounding fans as he did it. He didn't seem stressed or aloof at all, and his English was perfect. Can't say enough about the guy.

I think it got spread around...

They probably had 3-4 chassis, and piles of parts.

I just read Brady Kalivoda's team (Dakin) picked up one of the complete 18 wheelers.

I I also read Keith Murt bought some of the machines.

If the wheels on the trailer are close together then it would be the hospitality trailer and if it is a spread axle then it could be either the parts trailer or race car trailer.

My brother called me with the report, and he did not notice the axle spread so I cannot say.
 
Those snarky Fins...great for Top Fuel racing and producing some great hockey players...like this guy who is also a HUGE racing fan!

Speaking of Ken B, and horsepower and getting rid of things, what did he and his wife ever do with the Clydesdale that Budweiser gave him? Surely they didn't keep it (or ???). I figured they donate it to a farm, zoo, maybe for breeding??? Budweiser north of Denver used to have some live Clydes' live right there on the property, with a nice little museum.
