MAIN EVENT, SANTA POD, UK
At last.... time for the first round in UEM!!!!Many people were curious and excited...Lot`s of phonecalls and sms was going around...
On Saturday, Matti set qualifying time, 7, 28 seconds in his first run!!!! However, there was more rounds to go but the time above, made Matti as number 6 and he was in the eliminations, well done!
At eliminations Matti was up against Job Heezen....Everything looked good and sounded good but after the burn-out the track crew discovered an oil leak from the steering and Matti had to switch off and eliminations were history!!! But, to qualify in his first event in UEM is very well done! Beeing a "Rookie" and getting 7th place is very, very good! Congratulations Matti and the rest of the team!
"The Crazy Finnish" at Santa Pod, Main Event Mai 2009
SUMMER NAT`S, GARDERMOEN, NORWAY
Shortly after arriving home from England, it was time for National Finals for the big classes for bikes. It didn`t go so well this time but Trond "The Rookie" went off with the victory which was marvellous! Congratulations Trond and the rest of you!!!!!
ALASTARO, FINLAND
Alastaro was a new track for Matti. 15 teams was to take part and 7 of these should not be in the eliminations. Not a peace of cake.. Since this was the 2nd round in UEM, the best in Europe was here to take part. Matti set qualifying time in his 1st run and he was in the eliminations!! The 1st round here was against Olstad... "The Cat" was prepared and you could feel the excitement..Matti had a 60ft on 1,09 and was leading all the way to the 1st camera at finish-line ...but then the belt went broke and Olstad won only by 0,004 or something.. These things happens and it`s the same for everyone, just a shame it happened this time for Matti and the rest of the team! Everything looked very good and the team did a very good job and now Matti is in 6th place in UEM. Next round will be in Mantorp, Sweden...Better luck there!!!!! 
A lot of waiting for Matti and...

MANTORP, SWEDEN
The Event was in July and, as always, there were many teams taking part. Matti qualified as nr 5 and was ready for the eliminations.He met Olstad in the 1st run and won!!!!! But, he showered the hole track with oil....That was the end of this Event and he`s now nr 5 in the UEM. Good work!!!!!
KUNMADARAS, HUNGARY
New organizer and a new track!!!!! Very exciting! The team went for Hungary on Monday and arrived at Wednesday, long journey. The temperature was only 42 degrees!!! Matti set qualifying time in his 1st run and that was good! He only got 2 rounds and then it was over also this time :((((. However, the team is still nr 5 and has been working like vikings all the way!!! A new bike for both Matti and the team can be complicated and beeing nr 5 for the moment is very, very good!!! Who could believe that when they started in May???next stop will be Mosten in Denmark and at last, Santa Pod for the finals... I believe we will se either Bengtsson or Stäuble as The Champion of 2009. But we have some Norwegians up there as well so never say never....Good luck everyone!!!
MOSTEN, DENMARK
Rain, storm and all you can imagine!!! The Event was cancelled!
FINALS, SANTA POD, UK
At last, The Finals at Santa Pod! The team arrived the day before the race and everything looked very good. Even the weather was fantastic! Matti was on a very angry Cat for the 1st round. It looked like it could be the 1st 6 second this year but at 200mtrs something happened..This event was like a nightmare for the team and the frustration was easy to see..The team worked very hard to find out what was wrong but did not really have the time..In dragracing there is no easy and quick solutions.No more driving this weekend either, but, however, the team ended up as nr 5 totally in UEM after only 7 months. That is absoluttely crazy and very well done!!!! There is many people out there who are very impressed..We will see what is happening next year......
