Tindra Christensen, 20, from Klagstorp outside Trelleborg, is now starting her venture towards drag racing in the Top Methanol class. Tindra most recently comes from the Super Pro ET class in the European Drag Racing Series, EDRS, where she finished fourth last year. With the help of Bryntesson Motorsport, this summer she will take her A2 license during the Meguiar's Drag Festival at Mantorp Park on July 25-28 to be able to drive Top Methanol in the future.
It has always been a dream of mine to drive Top Methanol, says Tindra. I have followed Tony and Jonny Lagg in A-Fuel Team Sweden for a long time. We talked to Tony and he offered to lend me his dragster so I could get my license. I am extremely grateful to have that opportunity.
Tindra has for several seasons competed against, among others, Isak Lagg, whose father Jonny also drives in Top Methanol.
We have gotten to know Tindra and have been able to follow her development, says Tony Bryntesson. Together with Jonny Lagg, we will support Tindra in her ambition to drive Top Methanol and the first step is to line up with a car and team when she gets her license.
Taking the step from Super Pro ET to Top Methanol means going from 800 to 5,000 nitro-fed horsepower and from eight seconds to just over five seconds on the 402 meter long drag – a huge difference!
It will be great fun and it will be something completely different, says Tindra.
Getting a license is the first step, the next is finding a car. Tindra and her team are looking at solutions for the future but this year she will continue to drive the Super Pro ET in selected EDRS events.
It costs a lot and we have to work with our sponsors before Top Methanol becomes a reality, but we have come a long way. This year I continue to focus on Super Pro ET.
This weekend Tindra and her team compete in Super Pro ET when the EDRS series has its season premiere at Vårgårda Raceway.
