Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Extreme Performance Bike Weekend 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 so long as the track is open. Thanks to our friends at Doyousee.me for the provision of streaming services.

It's a nice day here at Santa Pod. High cloud is drifting south east, behind which is an unbroken expanse of blue sky.

Some changes from the norm this weekend. Your Reporter discovered by the empirical method yesterday that commentating solo and simultaneously posting results is tricky to the point of impossibility so we will be posting results within a few moments of the end of each National Championship session. Simon will be with us today calculating Championship points in real time so there will be no pit notes; on the other hand we will know who has won what very rapidly.

The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH. Hope you are having a great weekend guys. Hello also to Eurodragsterholics everywhere.

We are due to start at 09:30 this morning with the first rounds of eliminations of 9.50 Bike, Comp Bike, Funny Bike and Super Street Bike followed by qualifying in both Supertwin classes and Junior Drag Bike then an hour of Straightliners. Stay tuned and we will bring you the results as soon as possible after each session.
