European drag racing progress report

A very important and historical milestone for European drag racing was reached late last Friday. The all concrete quarter mile drag racing track at Tierp Arena was successfully completed.

At this time of the year, the weather i Sweden is anything but predictable. And to be able to cast a drag racing strip of the highest standard, there simply can't be any rain or snow falling while the work is being done. In the last two weeks we have had a total of five days of nice weather which was the perfect condition for pouring the concrete. With a fantastic team of highly professional construction workers who despite long grueling hours were able to complete the track.

The building of the drag strip is very important. But at the same time, it's just the first of many steps to be taken before the arena is complete. Tierp Arena is a multi arena project being built in the most central part of Sweden. This arena will besides drag racing and other motor sport events, hold several large outdoor fairs and music concerts. There will also be a wide range of other sporting events, like cross country skiing, showjumping and much more. The possibilities are endless. Besides all the different events, the area will also hold numerous educational activities throughout the year.
