09:00 Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Festival of Power 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 so long as the track is open. Continued thanks to the timing crew here in Race Control for lending us a PC or there would be no webcast at all this weekend. Thanks also to Doyousee.me for streaming services. A bit of a change in the conditions here, overcast but brightening with a chilly tailwind but dry. The track looks good; the tireless track crew scraped the surface out to about seventy feet after racing finished last night and the tractor is currently sledding. 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 enjoying the coverage guys. Good morning and a big Happy 50th Birthday to former Super Pro ET racer and now crew Nigel Turner. Have a great day Nigel. A big Thank You to Team Heaven and Hell for hospitality last night. A yawny Pro ET racer Rick McCann took an early stab at Quote of the Year with "I've driven half a mile today, I'm knackered". We are due to start at 09:30 with round two of Pro ET eliminations; Pro sessions are at 11:30, 12:40 (FIM Super Street Bike), 13:30 and 15:30. Stay tuned and we'll bring you all the news as soon as the first pair fires up. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
