No cruise last night in view of the lack of qualifying runs and adverse weather conditions. A new PB for Jeff Meads, well done!

Kev Slyfield spun the tyres and went towards the centre line but corrected and got back on it. Then Ian Bishop went the long way round. Marc Mehuizen's motor puffed smoke at 60 foot and he stopped on track; bits of aluminium were found on the track; Danny Cockerill in the other lane was long gone on a good safe pass. Next Ray White had an easy pass and Bert Englefield went the long way round. Finally Gordon Appleton and Andy Robinson both had severe tyre shake and were off the throttle by 200 feet out. 10:00 Funny Bike qualifying final top five:

09:00 Although it's a sunny morning, the high water table after the rain yesterday has resulted in damp seeping through the track after the jet driers did their work. This is being swept as I type and hopefully we'll be off and running very soon. Stay tuned. 08:40 Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway. It's going to be a hectic schedule today with the remainder of qualifying and eliminations at the SPRC Summernationals 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 throughout the weekend and is broadcasting a picture every two minutes. The traditional Raceday Hello to our US correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH. Hello also to our good buddy Sharkman, and a Father's Day Greeting to all you Dads out there. The plan for today is to run the eighteen classes that weren't completed yesterday and then straight into eliminations. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
