Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for day two of the SPRC Summernationals. We're set for a cycle of qualifying and then eliminations and we're here to bring you the news in association with American car Imports.

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

Right now it's 14.0 C trackside, 75% humidity, and 29.97 inches of air. It's overcast but not at all unpleasant and the forecast is for the cloud to melt away later on this morning.

The traditional Raceday Hello to our US correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, New Hampshire. Good morning also to Pat and Stephen Talbot who have had to sit out this event, and a big Hi to our good buddies Martin Wilson and James Hands.

The plan for this morning is for one complete cycle of qualifying, and then straight into eliminations. Stay tuned and we'll bring you all the news as soon as the wheels start turning.
