9.50 Bike eliminations round 2

Leigh got into a tankslapper just before the eighth then parted company with his bike in the eighth-mile speed trap. Leigh slid on his back across the track behind opponent and Eurodragster.com sponsor Fred Furlong and hit the guardrail, likely rung his bell a bit. A marshal was with Leigh as soon as he stopped sliding and the safety crews arrived in moments. Word is that Leigh is conscious and talking and being checked out in the medical centre.

We don't often make Editorial comments but those who posted hearsay about Leigh's condition on Facebook before an official announcement was made should hang their heads in utter shame. There is more at stake here than wanting to be the first to post something, which seems to be all that matters to some people. Leigh's family being informed and looked after is one of several reasons not to post gossip willy-nilly. Please have a long think about that and refrain from being so irresponsible next time.

We also had a brief stop for rain before re-starting.

MSA Pro Modified eliminations round 2

Andy Frost 6.9720/210.11 def. Bert Englefield 9.7284/126.30

Bert away first 0.1822 to 0.6622, visible holeshot. Frosty had the better sixty 1.1882 to Bert's shaking 1.5914. Andy drove through shake and the Vauxhall started to move left towards the guardrail but he stayed with it. 4.6069/161.92 at the eighth for Andy to Bert's shut off 6.3132/120.27. Lots of smoke from Andy's Vauxhall in the shutdown area and the safety crews chased after him. Word on the track radio is that we have oil in the shutdown area. Sounds as if Andy has had a similar problem to yesterday's trans fluid spray.

Roger Moore 6.8694/208.00 bye, Graham Ellis shut off

One very quick clean-up later Eurodragster.com sponsor Graham and Roger faced off. Graham shut off for a fluid leak on returning from the burnout. Slight hesitation off the line from Roger's motor, 1.2243 to sixty then really picked up, fishtailing in the first eighth 4.5210/166.45, on the gas all the way.

Both Giselle Moor and Pete Harrison pretty much on the money in their race, Giselle especially: bear in mind that they have probably never had to decide dial-ins over the eighth before.

MSA Pro Modified eliminations round 1

Andy Frost 9.0881/125.15 bye, Marcus Hilt shut off

Frosty and the crew had a fair bit of work to do last night after a transmission line broke and sprayed Andy and the cockpit with fluid. Marcus' tyres didn't light on the burnout and then he stopped on the track. Pushed back and Frosty took the bye. Tyre shake and up in smoke at the hit, pedalled and then gave it some minor wellie downtrack. Clean-up in Frosty's lane.

Bert Englefield 6.7343/216.98 def. Steve Hall 15.4986/62.73

Steve away first 0.1666 to Bert's 0.2061, hit shake about 20 feet out. 1.1687 to sixty for Steve with the Vette making a move to the right, 1.1184 sixty for Bert. Steve shut off pasing the Tree to get his Vette back in his hands. 4.4259/164.57 to the eighth for Bert driving through a little shake.

Roger Moore 6.6652/208.92 def. Wayne Nicholson 8.8002/104.54

Roger away first 0.4924 to 0.6180, very similar sixties 1.0746 for Wayne to Roger's 1.0756. Wayne drove through shake and hung on to his Vette as it headed for the centre line, shut off before the eighth. 4.3338/167.26 to the eighth for Roger and a new Personal Best ET. Well done Roger, Dave and team!

Graham Ellis 6.6896/224.48 def. Kev Slyfield 7.2215/188.23

Visible 0.2341 to 0.4040 holeshot for Kev after the cannonade that is Eurodragster.com sponsor Graham's Superbird in stage. 1.1125 to sixty for Kev to Graham's quicker 1.0631, Kev's Coupe was blackstriping and heading for the guardrail, meanwhile Graham drove through shake from about sixty to 300 feet. Kev pedalled, Graham pedalled, 4.5725/142.43 to the eighth for Kev to Graham's 4.4436/163.04, there was a brief silence then both got back on it but Graham hooked up much better and took the stripe by 0.3620.

Latest word from race officials is that bike classes will run over the eighth-mile due to the strong wind.

Track is being sledded and glued. Not long now.

09:45

We have had spits and spots of rain but right now the sun is out and the racing surface is well on its way to being dry. We have one jet dryer on the track and one on the shutdown area. We do however have a very stiff headwind.

The running order which we have just been given shows all remaining qualifying cancelled and eliminations starting at 11:00 with Pro ET.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the FIA SPRC Summernationals brought to you in asociation with Alamo Rent-A-Car.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam is on-line and will broadcast live video and commentary / Nitro FM audio until the event finishes. Thanks to our friends at Doyousee.me for the provision of streaming services.

We have no pit notes this weekend as Simon is unable to attend. Simon will be tuning in over the weekend though so a big Hello to Simon and we hope that you have a good weekend.

The traditional raceday Hello to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH. Hope you are having a good weekend guys. Good morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, hope you are all well folks.

A big Thank You to Chris and Dave Buckland for taking in a damp stray last night and for feeding and watering him rather than calling pest control. Much appreciated guys and I owe you one, thanks.

The track is currently quite wet since it rained heavily overnight. The track crew are already out doing their thing and right now the sun is trying to emerge. Stay tuned and we'll bring you an update when thre is something to report. In the meantime keep an eye on Eurodragster.com News as your reporter is working on the news backlog.
