I was the only Y-block driver this year, so I won my class BigGrin. And yes, the car didn't work at all. Seems to me that Y-block needs some rocket science around it before it really moves. Or am I too young to get it moving with carbs? Wow

That is a very nice looking track, a little narrow but very tidy. Is that in Finland?

In Finland. Alastaro Circuit has the best Drag Strip in Europe. We have only two real strips here in Finland and the other one is at Motopark Raceway at Pieksämäki. It used to be the best strip in Europe before Alastaro Smile.

Some results from last weekends real Drag Racing European Championships. Note, that the times at Top Fuel class are 1000 ft times and Speeds are km/h.

I thought only the US had a crazy mix of metric and fractional measurements.  1000 FEET of racing and KM/HR speeds!
