Anders, as a drag race fan it's nice to see so much interest in the sport in another part of the world. Here is a web site you may or may not have visited but it provides some interesting info & pictures. Dicky

We have had a lot of good dragrace cars here since the early 70-ies.

In the mid 80s one guy put a ProStock 500 cu in. engine in a dragster and blasted the A/D record. Over the winter they sent the car to the USA and raced it at few events and brought it back to Sweden. They won a few of the NHRA Major races with it but most importantly destroyed the A/D index so no one was interested in racing in that class after that. None of the american A/D cars was competitive no longer. It took a few years to catch up.
