Flashback: Bug Run #7 and #8

More Bug Run #7 and #8 photos from Sebastian Vuorisalo's album dating to 1990-91. People seemed to be more innovative back then and weren't following Cal Look rule book so strictly..

See the first nostalgia blast.

Flashback: Bug Run #7 and #8

Collection of photos from Sebastian Vuorisalo's album. These were taken in Bug Run #7 and #8. I guess the saying "this used to be whole lot more fun before someone invented the rules" applies quite well to these photos. Things certainly were more open back then and the cars didn't remind each other so much as today. Sadly today Bug Run, even though still worth a visit, is a shadow of what it used to be.

Flashback: Mika Mansukoski's Buggy

Mika Mansukoski was the fastest Finnish VW drag racer in early 90's. He started in street racing classes with his turbo charged 1600cc(?) buggy. Regarding his ETs I found set of low 12-second ETs (best 12.002) with quick magazine search, I am happy to correct it if someone can provide more correct information. Mika's buggy is pictured here in the 1990 Race Car Show.

Flashback: 1990 Race Car Show

Couple of pictures from 1990 Race Car Show held in Helsinki Fair Center. The show was organized together with FHRA and Street/Race magazine. Those were the happy days, to me it looks like Drag Racing has shrinked a lot since that in Finland. The progress was really fast those days; from a country where Drag Racing was organized in remote old air-fields, suddenly there were two drag strips and dozens of new drag racing cars imported in late 80's to early 90's
