TIERP, SWEDEN (June 10th, 2018) - At the FIA European Drag Racing Championship event at Tierp Arena, a PLR Hemi-powered Chevelle made big waves in the Pro Modified class. Andreas Arthursson had a weekend of firsts, his first time running in the 5 second zone and his first FIA victory!

His Chevelle is powered by a PLR 520ci Hemi with twin Precision 91mm turbochargers and controlled by FuelTech. After a successful test session with PLR tuner Brandon Stroud, Arthursson and team qualified #2 with a  5.86 at 253mph! In eliminations, he would then put together a string of 5.8 second runs at over 250mph to advance to his first FIA win. We look forward to watching Andreas and his team continue on their current path. Congrats to Andreas and crew on the big win!
