Curious - what has been the lowest bump spot for Top Fuel in this country?

Thank you

I think Mantorp had a 5.11 or 5.13 bump a few years ago and that is the best in europe. But UK? Not sure...

[Miss Corrado]

Hmm Europe will do. Thanks Jon

FIA in the UK, then best/worst i can find for an 8 car field is Andy Carter 11.06 at the 2002 Euro finals

2006 SPR Finals bump, Stig Neergard 5.68 (10 cars entered, number 7 was Thomas Nataas 5.047)

2006 Mantorp bump was Haken Nilsson 5.19 (13 cars entered)

2006 SPR Main Event bump Smax 5.42

2005 SPR Finals bump Joran Persaker 5.93

2005 Mantorp bump Joran 5.69

2005 Main Event Micke Kagered 7.22

2004 Finals Smax 10.74 (only 8 cars qualified)

2004 Mantorp I have a feeling that this was the event that Monica may have been on the bump at 5.11 or 5.13, but the link from ED to the event coverage has gone bad!

I cant find any easy links to Gardermoen results, and as I am still in dissertation hell I should probably be doing other stuff...

2004 at Mantorp had 8 cars, with #8 being taken by Micke Kågered with a 5.183s pass. Monica was an impressive #3 with 5.100s. That's still the quickest ever top fuel field in Europe (although Mantorp came within 7 thousandths of breaking that last year).

Gardermoen's bump spots have been:

2004: 6.930s Andy Carter (only 7 cars entered)
2005: 36.17s Jöran Persåker (again, only 7 cars entered)
2006: 6.894s Urs Erbacher

For completeness:

Alastaro 2004: 9.449s Thomas Nataas (7 cars)
Alastaro 2005: 7.089s Gary Page
Alastaro 2006: 6.610s Lex Joon

Hockenheim 2004: 7.939 Thomas Nataas (7 cars)
