I liked the third one where the driver waved goodbye to his competition as he blew by at about 1100'.

The barometer is not the only thing we have against us over here, there is also a ban within the European Union against leaded fuel. Most of us use Motorsport 109, CSP, etc. and it makes it hard to get the numbers you see.

Driver waving goodbye is Tarmo Mikkola, event winner and Nordic Drag Racing Series winner 2010. The driver he is waving to is 18 year old, 2010 Swedish S/SS champion, Daniel Nyling. The kid is more or less raised in a Junior dragster, and has by that a lot of routine. We old farts all wave and cheer if we manage to eliminate him...
