Martin Newbury up from #3 to #1 Martin Bishop 7.7047/173.06.

Mike Kraaij writes: "Martin won the Main Event, however the engine blew on the final run and the team decided not to run at the NitrOlympX as there was no spare, instead replaced the piston on #3 cylinder, he is 6th in the FIM-E championship but as the championship is so close he can end in the top 3.Martin thanks Lucas oil and his hard working team Dan, John and son Bradley." Steve Moxley who also talked to Martin learned that he suffered clutch issues in both qualifying sessions.

Good morning and welcome to day 3 of our coverage from Santa Pod Raceway of the 2022 FIA/FIM-E European Finals. The weather is bright, with sun behind race control and cloud overhead but dry, temperatures of 15C forecast high of 19C and wind 9 mph from the north west. We are hopeful that conditions will be improved as yesterday proved as challenging weather wise as Thursday's was emotionally. We should thank Santa Pod's track staff for tirelessly clearing rain as quickly as possible, the shut down area was a particular issue as it suffered flooding.

We did get one full session of Pro qualifying in yesterday and some spectacularly quick runs were made. If Super Street Bike ends as an eight bike field the bump spot of 7.22 will be the quickest ever with four bikes in the 6.8s or quicker. We also had a good start to Pro Modified with Jan Ericsson back in the 5.8s and Roger Johansson making his best pass for some time with his new converter setup at 5.94s. Rickard Gustafsson and Neil Midgley were the stars in Top Fuel Bike and Marcus Christiansen in Super Twin. The nitro classes put on a great show even if no records were broken, and the sportsman racers chipped away at their indexes, dial-ins and reaction times with incredibly small margins separating them.

Today's plan is for two full qualifying sessions, plus held over Q2 from FIM-E bikes, and first round of eliminations of Super Pro ET, Pro ET and Junior Dragster. With so much to catch up on it will undoubtedly be a packed day. But first we have the re-run of Funny Car Cup racer Kevin Kent's qualifying pass from yesterday evening when the timing system failed and Kevin did not get a green.

Greetings to Eurodragsterholics who have been following the coverage, thanks to Syd McDonald for providing lunch, Robin Jackson for lists of Personal Bests, to Andy Marrs for supplying information on records and Mike Kraaij for Bike pit notes. Happy Birthday to Stewart Bassett of site sponsor US Automotive, Supercharged Outlaws racer Neil Townson and former Top Fuel racer Darryl Gwynn who we also congratulated on being inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. Have a fantastic day all.

We will return at 09:30 with all the news from the track so join us then.
