Håkan Nilsson Name: Håkan Nilsson
Born: 1963
Hometown: Eslöv
Main Tasks: Team Owner, Driver, Tuner

Håkan Nilsson became the 2006 FIA Top Fuel Champion to add up to his earlier successful years in Pro Modifieds were he has FIVE championship titles under his belt. This is pretty much an unbeatable achievement and to our knowledge there isn’t anyone out there that has been champions in the two  classes of Top Fuel and Pro Mod.
After a long consideration this winter Håkan has decide to retire from professional drag racing for now.
The reason is multiple, but health and family issues as well as business commitments made him take this decision for the 2007 season, what’s going to happen in the future isn’t clear yet.
Håkan has an Camaro 10,5” car that is under restoration so there is a possibility that he might hit the local hometrack MECA raceway with that one. His son Henry has a Junior Dragster in the garage so you never know where they show up this summer…
Håkan works hard with two companies and are sharing his life with his wife Michéle and their two sons Henry and Herman. When Håkan is off from racing and work he likes to go around in the south with his old Pontiac or to take care of his properties around his farm house.
