Matti Herlevi - European Champion won also "the Champs race" in Norway
The official pulling season reached its climax in Herlevis triple victory at the European Championships in Sweden. On the way back home Valtra team stopped in Norway for the traditional unofficial "friendly" competition organized by the Engen family.
The new European Champion Matti Herlevi proved his competence. Matti and Caesar were the only ones to make a full pull. Father Pekka was little bit slipping and sliding, but made it to nearly 83 metres.
After Saturday’s demo pull the oil filter of Doris started leaking and therefore Johanna and Doris didn’t show up to the start line on Sunday.
The third place went Arne Nielsen and Waterloo Deere with a 75 metres pull. The other lady driver of the weekend became fourth.
"The season is over for now. We are heading back home, all in good spirits" told Matti Herlevi contented.
