Ulf Stenvall wins Swedish Northen Cup Rd2

The second round of the Swedish Northen Cup took place recently in Älvsbyn. 41 racers attended and were greeted with mostly clear skies and a newly built driver stand. The track was in quite bumpy condition after a wet and rainy race taking place the day before. Junior driver Emil Lundgren from Piteå had a fast enough race pace to make it into the semi-final, but unfortunately had to retire in the 1/4-final due to his engine coming loose. Instead Viktor Westerlund took first place in the junior-class followed by Viktor Öhrvall and Alexander Sundh.  In the A-main final Patrik Bodén took an early lead but ran into issues with his engine flaming out loosing a lot of laps. “Veteran driver” Ulf Stenvall then took a commanding lead in the final piloting his Mugen to a safe victory. The most unexpected result this Sunday was Fredrik Kling finishing second with his Xray, taking his first ever podium finish. Martin Slagbrand managed to secure the third place even though a shock came loose on his Xray near the end of the final.
