ROUND 4:  9-12 September 2010: 

FIA European Finals, Santa Pod RacewayWhile all eyes were on American superstar Melanie Troxel, Sweden’s Adam Flamholc roared to his first major Pro Mod victory in record-setting fashion. With 25 international entries, the penultimate MSA Round 4 was combined with the deciding round of the FIA European Championship, won by another Swede, Johan Lindberg, after a season-long points battle. But it was the less-fancied Flamholc who hit race-winning form, setting a European elapsed-time record of 5.967sec in Sunday’s opening round of eliminations.Melanie Troxel’s Camaro was shut off with a fluid leak in the semi-final, a disappointing end to her dominating presence on this season’s European scene. Britain’s Andy Robinson, still not fully recovered from his July fire in Finland, suffered mechanical problems in a second-round match against Troxel. Robinson carries a healthy MSA points lead into the National Finals in two weeks’ time.Top 5 qualifiers:1.             Melanie Troxel:  6.027sec. / 241.22mph2.             Adam Flamholc:  6.042 / 236.103.             Mats Eriksson:  6.055 / 234.074.             Michael Gullqvist:  6.087 / 233.765.             Bruno Bader:  6.145 / 230.12Eliminations:Quarter-final:Johan Lindberg 6.024sec / 233.80mph  def.  Roger Johansson 6.230 / 225.77Melanie Troxel 6.056 / 241.11  def.  Andy Robinson brokeBruno Bader 7.877 / 214.10  def.  Michael Gullqvist 12.581 / 66.77Adam Flamholc 5.984 / 238.61  def.  Mikael Lindahl 6.196 / 231.66Semi-final:Bruno Bader 7.515 / 123.73  def.  Melanie Troxel brokeAdam Flamholc 6.627 / 161.33  def.  Johan Lindberg brokeFinal:Adam Flamholc 6.070 / 233.80  def.  Bruno Bader 7.413 / 215.11Low Elapsed Time of the Event:  5.967sec.
