This season the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series woman phenomenally manifested themselves in the fastest and most complex in terms of piloting classes — Top Fuel and Funny Car, checking out with five podiums in five of Event row, allowing Courtney Force and her sister Brittany for a while even lead the standings, sliding the award-winning and highly seasoned male opponents. More recently, three-time champion in the class of Pro Stock Motorcycles Sempa Angell returned to the big game, just not leaving no chance to his opponents on the way to his triumph in Epping.
The pilots on the other ocean side last weekend, which marked the second stage of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship, successfully took over from their American counterparts, and for the first time in the history of European professional drag racing in the final race in the class Top Fuel met two racers Anita Makela and Bridget Bremnes. He won experience. Anita won his first title in the fastest division championship in 2000, while Bridget received Top Fuel license only two years ago. The winner of the European record Anita Makela second time that day in the showdown has left four seconds, while its young rival showed far less impressive performance at the finish. For this trophy champion became the first in the current season, as well, for a beginner racers appearance in the final, will certainly be a milestone in his career, and I hope that its first victory did not take long to wait.
The next stop of the European Championship — FHRA Nitronationals, which we will release a series of reports, they say, first hand. Stay tuned!
