Tigger is responsible for keeping the exhaust clean and free of debris. Job Heezen's Supertwin is pitted in one of the very clean pit garages. Looks like you could eat your dinner off the floor and indeed the bike. I knew we'd find a sensible use for one of these scooters one day. As seen on TV. Don't we all... Peter Ritscher on his way for Pro Mod qualifying. Gerd Habermann has an impressive stable of cars including a Super Comp Dragster, Jet Funny Car and Jet Bike. Neither Gerd's Jet FC nor the Jet Bike made it on to the track which was a real pity. A couple of lucky ticket holders got a ride in Rico Anthes' Two Seater Top Fueller. Getting all the Pro Mods to the track at the same time and in the right order was quite an exercise since they were pitted in three different locations. Kristian Nyström's driver side door came off whilst racing Pro Mod in Finland. At least it isn't pink... When they said that Janne Ahonen was pretty well hung this wasn't what we imagined. But better this than what we were imagining. These clutch plates had just come out of Risto Poutiainen's Top Fueller and Kirstie said she could feel the heat from where she was standing. Mats Eriksson's son L-G slots nicely into the service bay of the Green Goblin Pro Mod. Richard Bruton explaining the temperature/percentage balance when preparing nitro for use in the Lucas Oil / Andersen Racing Top Fuel Dragster. Jari Halinen's crew preparing to warm up the Top Fuel Dragster. Robert Joosten on his way for Pro Mod qualifying. This guy was singing Dutch pop songs and folk music to MPM Oil's guests in Lex Joon's Top Fuel Dragster pit. We wondered where these guys had got this from... ...then we discovered the Lucas Oil / Andersen Racing Top Fuel team having a clearout. Notice Micke Kågered's co-Crew Chief Göran Edman right up at the front. Maybe unaware of where his spares are coming from, Micke Kågered was happy to autograph a die-cast model for a fan.
