Simon has more pit notes and we have today's pictures to sort out and post so we're not done yet. It is uncomfortably
hot in our office so we may move somewhere cooler to do the pictures which may add a short while to the posting time.
Stay tuned.

MSA Pro Modified final
Graham Ellis 6.5678/166.07 def. Nick Davies 10.0697/85.22
Eurodragster.com sponsor Graham owns both cars but I am guessing no team orders here. Nick got the jump
0.160 to 0.192, Graham had the much better sixty 0.990 to 1.080, Nick hit shake and tried to drive through
it but shut off before the eighth, Graham drove through a little shake - probably Grumpy Wilson's "acceptable
level of shake" - and got to the eighth in a spectacular 3.982/181.70 which is 6.0-second form. Just after the
eighth the Cuda made a hard move to the right and Graham shut it off, and was far ahead enough of Nick to
take the stripe.
Martin Hill followed the Pro Modified final with a 6.0860/260.48 in the Fireforce 3 Jet FC. 4.1629/193.72 at the eighth.

We're collecting finalists but Julie asked us to say a big Hello to Tim Knox who is tuned in from Australia,

MSA Pro Modified eliminations round 1
Nick Davies 7.7480/179.96 def. Mick Payne 7.4954/182.82
Nick away first by a huge margin 0.013 to 0.407, Mick was starting to chase him down by 60 feet 1.092 to Nick's
1.263. The Bird started to make gentle moves left and right and got to the eighth 4.833/133.20 to Mick's
quicker 4.807/144.89 but Mick lost time taking the long way round and getting quite close to the guardrail.
Nick feathered the throttle as the Bird made a violent move but was back on it and took it by 0.1413.
Andy Wright 7.7509/185.88 bye (Roger Moore no show)
Roger and Dave not able to fix yesterday's damage so Andy got the bye. 1.215 to sixty with a pedal and then on
and off the throttle most of the way. 5.013/139.40 at the eighth and still on and off it in the second half.
Graham Ellis 6.4481/206.26 def. Wayne Nicholson 6.5891/214.82
If you read yesterday's pit notes you will know that that Eurodragster.com sponsor Graham and his team changed
their set-up after qualifying yesterday, putting previous bits and pieces back in the car. Did the trick for Graham,
0.993 to sixty feet and 4.152/165.92 at the eighth and it looked like there was a bit of a feather of the throttle there as
the Cuda went close to the guardrail and then off it before the stripe. 1.039 to sixty for Wayne, 4.293/171.37 at the eighth, chasing hard but Graham
had the stripe by 0.144. A PB for Wayne though, well done Wayne!
Steve Hall 7.9091/191.33 bye (observed run)
New PB by a long way for Steve, well done Steve! 1.426 to sixty, still a lot of smoke from the headers, 5.371/149.66 at
the eighth.

Dave Smith, Mick Templeman and Pete Field all out with engine damage. Wild ride for Chris Reed on his bye, the bike
tried to throw him off at every gear change with one particularly scary looking wobble and legs flailing at 1000 feet
but Bois is Super Street Bike's answer to Freddy Fagerström and takes a lot of persuading to get off the throttle so he stayed
with it and ran a seven despite all of that. Great riding job! Steve Mead close to a PB or on a PB I think, well done Steve!

Pro ET eliminations round 1
Puff of smoke from Tig Napier's Dodge about 1100 feet out and the terminal speed down, hopefully nothing
serious. Carla Pittau staged for points as the Heaven and Hell Camaro suffered a small amount of damage
coming down from yesterday's wheelie - would have been a lot worse had Carla not kept her head and put it
down so gently. Big cloud of smoke from Paul Marston's Monza from about 900 feet - it's not unusual for the
Monza to smoke at the stripe but not that early. Finely-judged run, though, +0.002 on dial-in. Track
checked and all OK, hopefully the car is OK too. Another Perfect Light from Rick Denny, who took the
Eurodragster.com/Cotsweld Race Cars Perfect Light Award
yesterday. That, folks, is one of the reasons why that guy has been a National Champion before now. Well done again Rick!
Keith Herbert into the nines, breakout but his crew were ecstatic so I guess they're not worried, well done
Keith!

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the SPRC Summernationals brought to you in association
with Alamo Rent-A-Car.
The Webster Race
Engineering/Nimbus Motorsport webcam is on-line and
broadcasting live video and commentary/Nitro FM audio stream.
Right now it's quite misty here at Santa Pod, but this is going to get burned off as soon as the sun rises a bit more
and we're in for a glorious day. Your reporter has quite often thought of a new feature for the race reports entitled "First
racer to check the track" since we are usually here to see them; today the award for dedication goes to Pro Modified racer and
Eurodragster.com sponsor Graham Ellis who right now is in the 1000 foot speed trap having given the surface a detailed look
over from the start line onwards.
We must say the traditional Raceday Hello to Eurodragster.com US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are
back in Rye, NH after their European Tour. We were very pleased to hear from Ed overnight; one gets the idea that he would
rather be here - especially the bit at the end of the day when Eurodragster.com Team Nutritionist Syd McDonald kindly
cooked your coverage team some fine rump steaks, thanks Syd - but he is enjoying the coverage and is ready for more today.
Hope you enjoy today's offerings Ed and we can't wait for your next visit.
We were also very pleased to hear from John Byrne, aka Big John, our absent hero of Phil Toppin's Pro ET team. Big John
is very much in our thoughts this weekend and was cheered to see and hear his name mentioned. "I'm glad I wasn't there to, I quote,
"Blot out the sun" too much", said John. "I watched with great pride all my family race and as per usual they did not disappoint. I truly can't believe how many times I
heard my name mentioned and I'd like to thank each and every one for lifting my spirits. There's never been a time when I was so desperate to be at a place I call home
to be with my family. I'll be back, mark my words. Thank you all so very much". Thank you John and we look forward to seeing you back where you belong.
On the subject of thanks, a big Thank You to Kim and Pete Kellett for hospitality very late last night. Kim found your reporter
groping around in a very dark part of the pits and led him to the Drummin' Man RV for a cup of tea. Thanks guys.
The plan for today is to complete cycle 4 of qualifying and then to go into eliminations. We are due to start at 9:00;
stay tuned and when the action starts we'll bring you the news.
