Younger drag racing fans may not know that Funny Cars came from cars like this, Daz Selwyn's A/FX which runs in Pro ET. |

Super Pro ET hooligan Mark Pointer has toned down the launches but not the burnouts. |

Eurodragster.com Home and News sponsor Malcolm Francis led Super Gas from session one to session three, which was long after a rod cried "Enough!" in Super Comp qualifying. |

Jerry Denning and Lee Pike have been entertaining us with big wheelies and wild out of shape passes in their gorgeous Gasser which is running in both Super Pro ET and Pro ET. |
|
Another Tramm connection here as Spencer Tramm helped initiate Rod Harrison and his team into the ways of drag racing and Rod led the Super Pro ET field for a lot of today until Spencer took the lead! |
