SFI Hosts a Special Visitor
In May, the SFI staff was pleased to welcome an important visitor from Sweden. Lars Pettersson, long time friend of SFI, is the Chairman of the Drag Racing Comittee for Svenska Bilsportforbundet, the Swedish Automobile Sports Federation. Lars is also a member of the FIA Drag Racing Commission.
During his visit, Lars toured the new SFI test lab and was able to watch actual testing as it was done on several of the test machines.
