Any of the Swedish racers run a track called Mantorp, sitting here in my hotel room in Finspang and heard it wasn't too far from here, may try and make a show if I can get there.

I am more than 800km North of Mantorp, so I haven't been there in for many years.
Our tracks only have a couple of dragracing events each summer.
Mantorp track also got curves for other type of motorsports.
Looked here, and can't see any more dragracing there.

I think there's a race at Kjula close to Eskilstuna 5-6 Sept.

Mantorp was big years ago, their large event was in the last weekend of July. Now they seem to have lost most of their dragraces, their event calender http://www.mantorppark.com/evenemang-2015/ is pretty empty. As RT540 says, try Kjula near Eskilstuna http://www.kjuladragway.com/ (use some translate service for the directions). They have races next weekend.
If you are going north, the swedish Chrysler Club has a meeting in Malung next weekend ( http://www.chryslerklubben.org/?id=pagang ), call them for directions.

If things work out ill race at Kjula the 19th of sept.
Good track but its the last race of the season so it normally is VERY crowded so im not expecting more than a couple of runs.
Kjula is around 2 hours from finspÄng.
