A number of the UK Super Street Bikes are pitted together in one of the very well-appointed garages.

Regular readers of the 200mph bike forum will understand why Super Street Bike racer Pete Bellenie is happy.

Just in case anyone can't find the Eurodragster.com base, Benni Voss arranged for this large banner.

Urs Erbacher and Lorenz Stäuble helped to fill in time during the rain by talking to Benni Voss on the PA.

Eurodragster.com sponsor Marco Maurischat reading the owner's manual which came with his new Pro Mod.

Pro Mod racer Marko Lantto's safety kit.

We are guessing that these cupboards in the Leanders Brothers Top Methanol FC pit are not standard IKEA items, although they should be.

This Safety Safari camper has been in use since the first race here at Hockenheim.

It really didn't look too hopeful for most of today...

...but like Santa Pod's distant treeline, being able to see Hockenheim's hill means that everything is OK weatherwise and eventually it was.

No prizes for guessing which Pro Mod pit Kirstie was in at this point.

Stefan Winter's Mercedes was the first car to run in today's Comp Eliminator session.

Team Paddy Drag Racing...from Denmark, which on a global scale isn't so far from Ireland.

This Willys which is running in Super Gas this weekend is all original tin, mainly the original chassis with a roll cage added, and is street-legal.

We can't understand a word which track announcer Benni Voss is saying, but we can still tell just how good he is.

Danny Bellio is likely still smiling after wiping out his Personal Best to lead Top Methanol FC.

Two sticks of Finnish dynamite.

Doubtless you've heard of the legendary "Achtung Fahrerlager" pit announcements at Hockenheim, Christine's is the face behind the voice.

Now we know what all that smoke was about from Andy Robinson's engine in Pro Mod qualifying.

No, you're not seeing things, Wolfi Schöfer has got part of the Top Methanol Dragster's transmission on a stove.
