Thanks Larry. Yeah I thought that some of you guys might not know that there is Drag Racing in Finland too, that's why I decided to start this thread. :lol:

Now I will post some non-Finnish Drag Cars in here that I have seen Racing in Finland.

Let's start with Stockers & Super Stockers. B)

This D/S Fairlane was driven by Lars Nyberg this year, but I can remember that Lars Boden has been driving it also... These guys come from Sweden.

Two SS/AH Hemi Barracudas Side By Side. Timo Eronen's Barracuda was posted here earlier, but on the Left Lane you can see Anders Holmberg's Barracuda, if I remember his name correct.
