About Leif Helander

Funny Car Pilot Leif Helander from Matfors outside Sundsvall is one of the great and experienced drag racing drivers in Europe. Leif started racing in altered T-23 Bantam back in 1976/77. Since 1978 he has used the well known SAAB Funny Car, to day equipped with a modern and stream lined -03 SAAB 9-3 body.

Leffe has a style of his own, loved by everyone. He always gives the audience long burn outs even when driving solo or j ust for show.

Starkotter the Wiking must have a lead foot inherited by Leffe. He is widely known for crossing the finishing line sideways rather than slowing down.
