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!
Jason Harris completed his “Drive for Five” at the 2026 PDRA World Finals, winning the event and becoming the first five-time world champion in series history. His Proline-powered “Party Time” Camaro ran a 3.601 at 211.16 MPH in the final.
Ned Dunphy successfully defended his HOT ROD Drag Week Overall and Unlimited titles while setting a new drag-and-drive record with a 5.974 at 249.16 MPH in his Pro Line Racing-prepared, SMX-powered Dodge Viper.
Andres Arnover won his first FIA European Pro Modified Championship in 2026. Rain cut the Santa Pod finale short, leaving his season-long points lead intact.
