EDRC. The second title of Anita Makela

Anita, is certainly one of the most colorful members EDRC (European Drag Racing Championship).
The pilots began to participate in races in the Quarter in 1987, and in 1997 received a license Top Fuel, and three years later issued their first league title in the rapid division of the European Championship. Later racer confidently accomplishes every season in the top 5, and recently brought home to Finland second big trophy.
Anita is not just the fastest woman of the Old World, and has a clean record time of passage tysyachefutovoy distance — 3.87 seconds @ 504 km / h.

At this time the fate of the title was decided in the final event series — EDRC FIA European Finals, and the intrigue would be more than enough for one more season. Anita dropped out of the fight in the semi-finals, on points difference between it and the main competitor Stig Neergardom was negligible, and it depended only on whether the Dane can reach the final. That would be it was enough for a victory in the season. But Stig also failed the check, and automatically went to the Finnish Cup racer. On the one hand this victory is difficult to call a convincing, on the other — good luck always played an important and sometimes decisive in our case a role in all sports disciplines, and the triumph of this does not become less valuable or less deserved.
