Haapajärvi 27.06.1999
Valtra in the lead of the Finnish Champioship
The Finnish Championship battle continued at Haapajärvi where an audience of almost three thousand people were following the second round of the Finnish Championship tractor pulling. Johanna Herlevi was again superior in the Pro Stock class. She was the only one to make the full pull. This was enough to win the race and to ensure her leading position in the league.
Second in the Pro Stock class was the son of the Herlevi family - Matti Herlevi. He came second also in the previous race and is therfore number two in the total points. Pekka Herlevi was the best driver of the diesel-powered tractors and therefore leads the Super Stock Finnish Championship class.
Mikko Perä, driving a metanol-powered tractor, won the race. Pekka Herlevi came second in the rerun. Sigma Power is based on diesel-powered equipment. The rules of the class however do allow also tractors that use metanol as their fuel.
After two races Pekka Herlevi leads the Finnish Championship race in the Super Stock class. Second is Tapio Kangas, seven points behind. At third position is Johanna Herlevi who has tested her Doris tractor also in the Super Stock class. Fourth, after the second round is Mikko Perä.
