On two wheels

The EDRS NMC series came to a conclusion with Samu Kemppainen taking the event win and championship with a 6.6138/210.76 over Vidar Ravnsborg’s 7.3413 in the Super Twin category; the Finn having qualified in third spot with a strong 6.5871 behind the blown parallel twins of Hans Olav Olstad (6.5310) and Per Bengtsson (6.5441).

Fredrik Fredlund cracked the six second barrier in the second round of Pro Stock Bike qualifying with a 6.9778/193.40 (the speed being the fastest in Europe at that point), improved the speed to 194.29mph on a third session 6.9960 and the fourth session ran another 6.99 alongside Robert Karlsson’s 6.9824/193.95 (the first side by side 6 in PSM in Europe and placing Robert as the third member of the club with his eldest daughter Elvira as the charter member). Eliminations had Karlsson hitting the sixes in the quarters and semis, whilst his youngest daughter Ellsa produced a 6.9595 (quickest pass in Europe) on a losing effort, but it was Fredlund that prevailed with a 6.9959 in the final against Robert although he had the consolation of the series championship.

NMC Super Street Bike had Rick Stubbins continue his 2015 winning streak with the Scandinavian Internationals trophy adding to his two previous event wins on the FIM-Europe championship tour having qualified on pole with a 7.1590, running class low ET and top speed with a 7.1459/205.90 at the semifinal stage and defeating UK compatriot Alex Hope in a 7.2083/198.19 to a 7.2628/203.48 match up. Björn Friström picked up sufficient points to take the NMC title thanks to his run to the semifinal before falling to Hope. (Ivan Sansom photo)
