Scott Hauser close to the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award, +0.0045 and into #2 spot to boot... well, for one pair as Nick Good took it over next pair.

08:50 Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the FIA European Finals brought to you in association with Alamo Rent-A-Car. A change to the webcast arrangements this weekend; the webcast is still free but this weekend will be available on Santa Pod Raceway's site at www.santapod.co.uk/webcam.php. It's a beautiful morning here. When I got out of bed very early this morning it was foggy and you could not see your hand in front of your face but then the sun came up and it turned into one of those Shine On You Crazy Diamond sunrises. A big Good Morning to all the Eurodragsterholics tuned in around the planet and a special Hello to everyone who is tuned in from their day jobs. We'll do our best to keep you informed but please don't get yourselves in trouble. We are due to start very shortly with Pro ET. We have four cycles of qualifying scheduled today but I would not be surprised if another cycle was added in if things go well. Don't quote me on that though. Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you all the news. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
