Pro ET qualifying session 4:

Chris Hodgkins up from #19 to #10 in mid-session. 8.962 on a 9.00 dial-in for Dave Russell in the Marina van, that thing looks like it would quite happily run sixes to be honest! Two pairs later Neil Hunter moved from #14 to #4. #28 to #22 for Bob Molden and #13 to #10 for Charlie Chivers in the next pair. Then a great pass from Billy Gane put him into #2 spot from #14. In the last pair Dave Hughes moved up from #31 to #11.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 3:

Jack Brewster improved against dial-in in the first pairing but stayed in #3 spot at that point. Next pairing and Paul Mander made a move from #22 to #13 in his Arrow Super Mod and Barry Giles moved from #11 to #3 in his dragster. Good to see Dave Townsend back in competition after testign last week, #18 after his first pass of the day. Next pairing and Rod Harrison moved up from #8 to #3, the field tightening up in Super Pro now as well. #15 to #10 for Pat Talbot next pairing. At that point the top ten were separated by 0.0905 seconds. Next pairing and Mark Flavell's Funny Car launched in reverse, luckily he got it stopped and back into first very quickly.

Top Fuel Dragster licencing:

Tommy Rostgaard 5.1895/278.09

A scary run for Tommy. The run scheduled for a half pass and started OK. 0.9337 to sixty feet and 3.4845/233.50 at half track, then the car drifted to the left and took out the 990 foot and top end reflectors, then a huge explosion and fire, the dragster moved to the right and it looked as if it brushed the wall, the chutes burned off and the dragster went into the field at the end of the track. Black stripes down the shutdown area, Simon who happened to be at the top end in the pits said that it sounded as if the throttle was stuck open as the engine carried on at full throttle way past the finish line. News from the top end is that Tommy is quite OK. The car has sustained at least rear wing damage and it stopped pointed more or less back down the track.

Pro ET qualifying session 3:

Rick Denny up from #33 to #7 in the first pairing, three pairings later Antony Wilkins made a huge jump from #35 to #3.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 2:

A big jump for Jack Brewster, #19 to #1 in the first pairing. A great pairing between Norbert Schneider and Steve Johnson, 0.0041 RT for Norbert and into #1 spot, Steve moving from #14 to #4. The Nosferatu Firebird is this weekend being supported by a massive Cadillac hearse from Gothic Limousines, has to be seen to be believed and we will of course bring you a picture later. Norbert's #1 lasted two pairings as John Everitt took over the lead in the last pairing. So Norbert, with Spencer Tramm crewing, was bumped down a spot by John, with Eurodragster.com staff member Kirstie Tramm crewing. I present this fact without comment.

Pro ET qualifying session 2:

Jon Turner into #1 spot in the first pairing. Next pairing and Chris Hodgkins made a move from #12 to #5 at that point. Two pairings later a big move for Lee Huxley, up from #17 to #3. Another couple of pairings and Liz Malcolm moved from #15 to #4, the field is quickly tightening up. A nice first pass for Kim Bishop, his Willys now toting a tube chassis, 10.973 on a 10.60 dial-in. Next pairing and a big jump for Phil Toppin, #15 to #2. Nice 0.009 RT for Carla Pittau int he next pair, had husband Rick rattled in the other lane as he redlit. Big jump for Eddy van den Bos, #31 to #6, in the other lane Dave Russell clocked 9.081 on a 9.20 in the blown Marina van, a bit naughty but must be a PB I'd think. Next pair and Nigel Green moved up from #21 to #7. Last pairing and Billy Gane moved up from #13 to #6.

Super Street qualifying session 1:

A nice first run for Dave Cherrett, but shouldn't that have been a 10.6 or something?

Super Pro ET qualifying session 1:

We think a Personal Best for Norbert Schneider, 8.4772/156.17 albeit on an 8.50 dial-in, I don't suppose Norbert will be that bothered about breaking out, nice one Norbert! A nice 0.003 RT for Ashley Bell in this session. I can't see the Speedflow or indeed the Gold RV money lasting the day.

Good morning from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the FIA Main Event brought to you in association with American Car Imports.

The Webster Race Engineering/Lex Joon Racing USA Tour 2009 webcam is on-line and posting a picture every sixty seconds.

What a beautiful morning we have here. It almost makes one feel sorry for pessimistic weather obsessives on discussion forums, but not quite. Right now we have blazing sunshine, I can see high cloud coming in from the west but it's just that - high cloud and no bother. Outside it's 13.7 C, 66% humidity and 29.62 inches of air.

A big Hello to everyone who is tuned in from work having been unable to get the day off and a big Good Luck to our good buddy Andy Marrs who is sitting an exam today. We'll do our best to get the news to all of you you as quick as we can.

We must say a big Thank You to SPR's former Race Director Syd McDonald who has not only donated an extra £25 to the Eurodragster.com/Gold RV Perfect ET Award but is also bringing us snacks on a regular basis. Yesterday it was marinated ribs and this morning it was sausage baps. Thanks Syd!

We have six rounds of Sportsman qualifying today, commencing with Pro ET at 9:30. Stay tuned and we'll bring you all the news the moment the first wheels start turning.
