8:15

Good morning and welcome from Mantorp Park. It's day one of qualifying for the Veidec Festival and we're here to bring you all the news in association with American Car Imports.

The Webster Race Engineering/MPM Oil webcam is on-line and is broadcasting a picture every two minutes.

It's quite a pleasant day, high cloud but the sun is breaking through on a regular basis. The only other weather of note right now is quite a stiff headwind which will affect the index classes.

The plan for today is for four complete cycles of Sportsman qualifying. As usual we will track the top five qualifiers in each class as well as any other notables.

We are due to start at 8:30 with Bilsport Junior Dragster so stay tuned and as soon as the Juniors start to roll we'll bring you all the news.
