With the rain on and off and the radar showing more coming in, Race Director Robin Shone has called the race. It's
a pity that the National Championships have had to end like this but there really was no option.
We will list the 2010 UK National Champions on the next news update on Eurodragster.com, which is due to be
posted this evening.
12:00
It has now started to rain again. Stay tuned.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the VP Racing Fuels National Finals brought to you in
association with American Car Imports.
The Webster Race
Engineering/Nimbus Motorsport webcam is on-line
and will be streaming live video and trackside audio until the track closes.
It's a nice day here at Santa Pod Raceway, sun and cloud, although cold and we still have a crosswind.
A big Raceday Hello to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH.
Hope you are enjoying the coverage guys. Also a big Happy Birthday to Santa Pod Racers Club Chief Starter
Ian Marshall, have a great day Ian.
We must apologise for the non-appearance of yesterday's pictures. In the end it just got too cold to work up
here in Race Control last night. A big Thank You to Carla Pittau and Rick McCann for the use of their warm and
comfy camper as an office last evening; yesterday's pictures are now posted and you can of course check them
out via the Event Index page. There are 100 pictures in all, if you do not see all 100 updated thumbnails when
you load the gallery page then click on your Browser's Refresh button.
Whilst on the thanks we must also thank Team Nutritionist Syd McDonald who kept us fed again yesterday, and
Darren Prentice for the use of his caravan.
Action is scheduled to start at 9:00. Your reporter is commentating again today so the reports won't be
as wordy as usual but courtesy of Simon we will of course bring you updates on the National Championships as the
day progresses. As things stand the 2010 Championships have been decided in Super Modified (Andy Hone), Super Gas
(Dan Page) and Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator (Ian Hook). Congratulations all. Stay tuned and when the motors
fire up we'll bring you the results.
