Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator eliminations round 1
We had a short hold for rain which came on whilst Richard Billings was staging in the second run of the session.
Brian Payne retained his Championship by taking the green in his bye as Stu Williams did not show. Congratulations to
2012 Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator Champion Brian Payne. Next pair and Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster
won Drive of the Weekend as the Comet got out of shape at the eighth, we saw the right side of the car as it crossed
lanes but Jon held on to it and got it back into his own lane. Mats Andersson in the other lane was well in front so
no problems on that front.
One of Ian Hook's crew drove the FB Racing '34 Ford down the old fire-up road as a farewell as Fatty
is retiring from racing. Fatty and his guys will be much missed.

MSA Pro Modified eliminations round 1
Roger Moore 6.6752/208.94 bye, Jean Dulamon broke
No reverse for Jean afer his burnout, pushed back but signalled to shut off on his return. Big wheels-up launch for Roger,
1.1802 to sixty, 4.4277/166.67 at the eighth.
Kev Slyfield 6.7672/188.93 bye
Number one qualifier bye for Kev. 1.1001 to sixty, slight shake on the left slick past the Tree. 4.3401/166.51 to the
eighth. The Coupe started to move around its lane in the second eighth and Kev was off the throttle and chutes out
before the stripe.
Rick Garrett 7.7798/178.50 bye, Andy Wright no show
MSA Championship PR Robin Jackson, to whom the usual thanks, tells us that the BA Racing Coupe broke its crank yesterday
so Rick gets a bye on his first competitive Pro Mod pass. 1.1946 to sixty, 5.0195/141.22 at the eighth and through to the
next round. I could be wrong but from the car's behaviour I am guessing a second gear launch.

Super Pro ET eliminations round 1
Championship leader Jack Brewster out in this round, Scott Hauser needing to win his race to take the title a few
pairs later. Red for Scott so Jack Brewster is 2012 UK National Super Pro ET Champion, congratulations Jack!
Ian Powell 0.001 off taking the Eurodragster.com/Gold RV
Perfect ET Award. I think we may be seeing Dave Ward again since although Martyn Jones broke out by the lesser
amount he went below the 6.00 Super Pro ET cut-off. But we have Race Directors for that kind of decision so we'll wait for
official word... and clarification comes from Deputy Race Director Carole Ismail that Syd's win stands as the cut-off
applies only to dial-ins, and that Syd's breakout is below the lower limit of the class is not relevant. Thanks to
Her Majesty of Race Control for clearing up that one for us.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the VP Racing Fuels National Finals brought to you in association with
Alamo Rent-A-Car.
The Webster Race
Engineering/Nimbus Motorsport webcam
will be broadcasting video and audio as long as the track is open. Thanks to our good buddies from
Doyousee.me for streaming facilities and to Julian of
Nitro FM for allowing us access to the radio station's satellite link which means that we can broadcast in higher
definition than usual.
Another big Good Morning and hugs to Paula Marshall who is tuned in, we're missing you Paula and wish you were here.
The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH.
Also tuned in today is our good buddy and Honorary Eurodragster.com Staff Member Andy Marrs whose birthday it is
today, have a great day Marrs.
Overcast and a little chilly here at Santa Pod this morning, there is also a cold tailwind.
It's the final day of competition for car classes. Simon is sat next to me like a coiled spring waiting to give us
real-time updates on the National Championships. One piece of news is that Ian King is confirmed as having done the double,
having won the 2012 ACU UK Top Fuel Bike Championship to add to his UEM Top Fuel Bike Championship. Congratulations to Ian.
Top Fuel Bike will not be running in competition today as there are less than the minimum number of bikes entered.
Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you the news.
