Hjärup 12 hour
17-18 August 2007
This was the third time the Hjärup 12 hour race has been held and as always there were strong teams from abroad.
The Czech's with their two time winning team Smradosi were present as well as the fast British Trotter Independent Traders (TIT).
Finland was present for the first time with a team, "The colours of white and blue".
This time the Swedish racers had to qualify for the 12 hour
race and the Swedish Masters Open 12 class results counted. The first
four Swedish racers there could form a team if they wanted.
For the rest of the Swedish racers they could enter if there were free
slots. This was done to make it possible for even more foreign teams to
have a chance to race.
The four drivers Michael Landrud, Anders Gustafson, Lasse Åberg
and Tobias Lestrell formed the new time "Ahead of Time".
The Fabulous Four, who have had podium places in the previous
two 12 hour races, later got a place as well as the new forming of

Nilsson and Mikael Gustavsson.
