"Sad news" from the norwegian nitrous entry. The struggle is over, we are "dead". Our hunt for sponsors has failed. Norwegian companies isn't ready to support international dragracing yet! Our wallets just isn't big enough too go up against the blower cars, and have a fair chance too take the "buckle". So we made a though desicion too throw in the towel.  Remember too chear for the nice guys in the nitrous car, they might  be a dying speacies. At last we would like too wish Paul Ingar Udtian/Islanders Racing team the best of luck in TM dragster, look out for these guys!

Europian Finals is over, we are very satisfied with our 3rd qualifying run that made us the fastest nitrous car in Europe! 6.301/223mph. We qualified as number 4, and met Marko Lanto in the first elimination run, unfortunately something happened with our transmission and we lost, and it was there we also lost our third place totaly in the Europian Championship. Andy Robinson  passed us with eight points, and Seppo Saapola became runner up and passed us with nine points.

We would like to thank all of our sponsors this season, AGA gas, VP Race Fuels, Fannrem Motorverksted, Mardahl Maskinservice, Exide Sønnak, Røros Media.
