Five things we learned in Brainerd
We've been hearing about reigning European FIA Top Fuel champion Ida Zetterström for a minute now, and she finally made her highly anticipated debut this weekend at the NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals driving the JCM Racing VP Racing Fuels/Edelbrock/COMP Cams/Dodge Top Fuel dragster. Zetterström rolled out a car with a fantastic red, white, and blue theme as she is actively campaigning to be elected as Rookie of the Year, and the seasoned newcomer is already emerging as a top contender for the award. In the first round of eliminations, Steve Torrence's misfortune – a .112-second reaction time – allowed Zetterström a holeshot win. The victory was important as it came with a bye run to the semifinals, and NHRA viewers had three opportunities on Sunday to see the Swedish-born racer and her new team get comfortable. In the semis, Zetterström illuminated the red light for the first time in a career that started when she was eight years old in a jr. dragster. Although she was heartbroken and admittedly embarrassed, observers got a glimpse of Zetterström's abilities behind the wheel, and the future looks quite bright.
