Outlaw Anglia qualifying session 3
Great wheelie by Pete Rollinson, in the other lane Matt Cooper's Pop again went out of shape and he again took the
sensible option, off the gas and chute out. Graunching sound from Phil Middleton's transmission, sounded like Ginner
saved the motor from zinging, pulled over about 250 feet out, pushed back.

Liam Jones followed Outlaw Anglia with a full pass licencing attempt in Top Fuel Dragster. 0.9178 to sixty,
2.3622 to 330 feet, 3/4192/230.00 at the eighth by which time the blower relief panel had burst. 4.4977/199.76
at the thousand.
18:20
Outlaw Anglia qualifying session 2
Cliff Griffin up to #1 first pair. Gauntlet laid down to Colin Millar who was going great guns but there was a puff of smoke from
Colin's left bank just past the eighth, terminal speed tends to imply an early shut-off. We think a PB for Pete Rollinson, well done
Pete! In the other lane Matt Cooper's Pop got a wobble on in the second eighth, off the gas and chute out, nice piece of driving.
Fantastic run for Simon Barlow, we think a PB in this car at least, if so then well done Simon!

VW Pro qualifying session 1
Drama in the final pair as Paul Jordan's wild Scirocco took a hard right just past the finish line on a 9.433/140.75 pass.
Some smoke just before the car made its move. The car front-ended the guardrail and spun its way down the shutdown area, safety
crews were moving before Paul's car stopped. Paul got himself out of the car and is A-OK.

Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of Big Bang brought to you in association with John
Woolfe Racing.
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. Thanks to
Doyousee.me for the provision of streaming services and a big Happy Birthday
to DYSM supremo Maikel Gloudemans.
After a damp overnight we have had sun and cloud since 08:30 and the track was open since mid-morning for very enjoyable Run What
You Brung. To all of those Facebook and other mizzogs who prefer being miserable, and trying to make the rest of us miserable, about
the possibility of rain to getting excited about the prospect of racing, well, we're real sorry for your loss.
A big Hello to our Eurodragster.com colleague Simon who we're pleased to report has recovered from his back injury. Simon will be
back with the team at Shakespeare County Raceway next weekend which is great news as we have all missed him and his contributions to
our coverage.
Qualifying is due to commence at 16:00. Your Reporter is commentating as well as reporting on the race so things may be a little
less verbose than usual but don't worry, you won't miss anything.
