Dragbike European Championship: third round in Sweden

Dragbike European Championship:
third round in Sweden

Two months after the last round, the Dragbike European Championship was back to the action at Tierp Arena, Sweden, for the third round of this 2024 season.

It was a successful event with good numbers of entrants, equally divided by Scandinavians and Europeans.

Once more, the weekend had competitive racing and a very close fight. The runs in the finals have been decided with only 0’’047 seconds difference in TopFuelBike and only 0’’002 seconds in both ProStock and SuperStreetBike.

The Swedish Rikard Gustafsson, who won the last round in June, this time had to settle for the second position as Jan-Sturla Hegre from Norway won the TopFuelBike.

Marcus Christiansen continued his domination in the SuperTwinBike. The Danish rider won again in the Swedish arena ahead of home hero Per Bengtsson and ran a personal best time of 6’’1109, only 0’’005 away from breaking a long-standing world record for a normally asperated Nitro-Harley.

Winner in June, in this third round Bertrand Maurice left the first step of the podium of the ProStockBike to the German Jörg Lymant.

In the SuperStreetBike Alan Morrison Jr. from the UK won with a runner-up from Hungary, Daniël Donat Lencsés.
