Next around the corner Mark Dainty whose Super Street Bike must be a contender for Best Appearing this season. 1.3375 to sixty, 5.0793/156.91 at the eighth, 7.5952/193.78 at the stripe, nice run! Fellow SSB racer Erich Gruber followed. 1.3845 to sixty, 5.0992/151.11 at the eighth, drifted towards the guardrail in the second half, 7.7312/182.80. Graham Dance The Original Daddy followed. 1.4312 to sixty, motor hesitated, 5.2587/150.64 at the eighth and 7.8680/186.59 at the stripe. Jemma Venables, who recently announced that she will be retiring from racing at the end of this season, continued the SSB theme. Tyre spun up at the hit, feather of the throttle, 10.0298/154.73.

First racer of the day Mark Hope on his Super Street Bike back from the Hopes' European Tour. Gentle 1.4802 to sixty, 5.4221/144.89 at the eighth, close to the centre line in the second half and crossed it just past the stripe, 8.1119/181.35.

Next round the corner Simon Gough in his Camaro Super Gasser. 0.0780 to sixty, 9.8908/153.73 a good one off the trailer. Frankie Taylor followed in the Banshee Junior Dragster, 0.1916 RT, 8.0086/79.93 at the eighth.

Blue Escort back for another go, hesitation off the line, sounded like problems changing gear and eventually eased off the throttle, 13.2343/90.34.

No name for today's first runner, a blue Escort. In stage going up on revs then one of the crew decided to delve into the boot, admonished by Chief Starter Ian Marshall. Transgression sorted run put in, 13.2089/77.34.

A big Thank You to Kirsty Giles for the life-saving tea.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the Pro Peak Performance Test and Tune Day brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

Today's plan is for a frequently-updated report on the on-track action, and a photo gallery at the end of the day courtesy of Julian and Diana. The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be on-line broadcasting live video and trackside audio from just after 09:00 until close.

It's a nice day here at Santa Pod, cloud and some sun and a gentle breeze blowing up the track.

A big Good Morning to all the Eurodragsterholics out there, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Finland, Ivar Kolberg in Norway, and Benni Voss tuned in from Germany. Hello also to Bob Roberts and to regular viewer Annie Lee. Finally, hello to our colleagues Kirstie and Simon, look forward to seeing you tomorrow. To those of you tuned in from your day jobs, please don't get yourselves in trouble.

I suspect that track opening time is like an old-fashioned social invitation, 09:30 for 10:00 and let's not forget the notorious slow starts and no-one-wants-to-be-first brinkmanship at these test days. Stay tuned and when the wheels start to turn we'll be back with the news.
