Today's gallery is now available and can be checked out via the Event Index. There are 245 pictures in all; if you don't

Ben and Jack Skinner for additional off-track pictures.
Thanks to everyone for their patience when the webcam went down this evening. After a lot of investigation it
transpires that the provider of the satellite uplink has some very small print about throttling services at certain
times of day - this despite the fact that Julian of Nitro FM purchased rather a large amount of uplink capacity in advance.
Hopefully things will be OK again in the morning.

European Nitro Funny Car Series qualifying session 2 (left lane first)
John Spuffard 4.6302/268.93 bye;
Kevin Kent 5.3692/157.37, Gordon Smith 5.7943/150.12;
0.9925 to sixty for Spuff, cylinders out on the right side pretty much from the hit. The car moved a little
to the left but Spuff stayed with it as more cylinders looked to go out towards half track 3.7124/224.63, looked
to stay with it all the way to the thousand albeit with less than eight candles. 0.9897 to sixty for Kevin, storming looking
launch, 1.0070 for Gordon with a cylinder out on the right side and the car drifting left. Gordon got to about 300
feet then his tyres went up in smoke, backed it off before half track 4.3410/165.78. Kevin's tyres went up in smoke
just before the eighth and he got off the gas, 3.9033/164.11.
Qualifying after this session:
- John Spuffard 4.6302/268.93
- Gordon Smith 4.6340/240.19
- Kevin Kent 5.3692/157.37
That's all for today. We are now going to get today's gallery together so tune back in a couple of hours for that.
We are also going to try to work out what on earth has happened to the web stream. Oh, and maybe have something to eat.

stayed in place. Phil Middleton into the eights, well done Ginner!

Colour commentator Connor Holt tells us that Matthew Moxon had to make an unscheduled trip to Hull and back
after an unfortunate keys-locked-inside incident. Worth it though as he went into #1 spot with his pass until unseated
by Paige Reeves. -0.001 RT for Natalie Laugher, a squeak on the wrong side of the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing
Perfect Light Award. Felicity Gibb took over #1 in the last pair of the session, 0.008 off the

VW Pro qualifying session 1
Problems for Colin Millar, started up and then shut off as he started to pull out of the lanes. Jumped out of
the car and he and the crew pulled the nose off the car and started working frantically on the motor. A couple
of minutes' work and Colin jumped back into the car whilst the crew finished up. Close thing with Cliff Griffin
in full swing with what would have been the last run of the session had Colin had any more problems. Made it!
Customary long burnout (to save the motor for Bakersfield, remember) and a trouble-free pass after all that.

European Nitro Funny Car Series qualifying session 1 (left lane first)
Gordon Smith 4.6340/240.19, Kevin Kent 5.3783/157.95
Kevin's motor initially sounded reluctant to stay lit but perked up quickly. Gordon visibly left first 0.1560 to 0.3647.
Kevin looked to have cylinders out at the hit but they cleared. Gordon to sixty in 0.9406 to Kevin's 0.9974,
Kevin's tyres were blackstriping all the way down to 300 feet then there were shake marks approaching 330 feet and he shut off.
Gordon's FC drifted left but he stayed with it, 3.6778/223.45 at the eighth to Kevin's shut off 3.9257/159.92. Gordon's FC sounded
to be driving through the clutch past the eighth, acceleration didn't match the engine note.
Qualifying after this session:
- Gordon Smith 4.6340/240.19
- Kevin Kent 5.3783/157.95
