MSA Pro Modified final

Kev Slyfield staged, Bert Englefield no show

Bert Englefield out with damage from an exploded fuel tank, Kev with a gasket problem so staged for the event win.

Michel Tooren followed with an 8.5703/100.54 checkout pass in the Pro Mod Cuda. 0.9956 to sixty, 2.7123 to 330 feet then started to drift left and shut off.

Next up was a match race between Tim Garlick in the Apache Nostalgia Fuel Funny Car and Martyn Jones in the Another $mall Fortune blown-alcohol Super Pro ET dragster. Syd won at 5.8928/237.45 to Tm's 6.1297/236.53.

ACU Top Fuel Bike final (eighth mile)

Steve Woollatt 4.0291/180/52 def. Rene van den Berg 5.7982/85.38

Easy one, winner is Champion. This one over the eighth due to the headwind. Steve visibly moved first 0.0961 to 0.1581, the better sixty 1.0416 to Rene's 1.0686, Rene rode through shake but then his slick went up in smoke and he had to shut it off. Congratulations to Steve Woollatt on another ACU UK Top Fuel Bike Championship.

15:45

Now up to finals in all classes. The MSA Pro Modified final will be a bye for Kev Slyfield as Bert Englefield is out - the bang was the Coupe's fuel tank exploding. Bert is OK. Bert's absence from the final makes Andy Robinson the 2016 MSA British Drag Racing Champion, congratulations to Eurodragster.com sponsor Andy and team.

Kev Slyfield 6.2679/215.13 def. Marco Maurischat 6.5356/219.06 DQ

-0.0380 red for Eurodragster.com sponsor Marco gave this one to Kev. Kev to sixty in 0.9879, the eighth in 4.0502/177.78, big puff of smoke from the motor at about 1000 feet but track all OK. His fourth PB of the event for Kev Slyfield, well don Kev and team!

Bert Englefield 6.4395/220.26 def. Andy Robinson 6.5850/226.63

If Eurodragster.com sponsor Andy won this race he would be Champion. If Bert won this race then he would have to win the final to take the title. Andy away first 0.0571 to Bert's 0.1656, Bert with the better sixty 1.0158 to Andy's 1.1127. Andy drove through shake but it robbed him of ET, Bert ahead at the eighth 4.1868/169.66 to Andy's 4.3762/174.04. Andy coming bakc at Bert in the second half but ran out of track, 0.0370 win for Bert. Then in the shutdown area a big bang and cloud of smoke from Bert's motor, safety crews mobilised instantly and chased Bert down, Bert stopped on the track. Hopefully nothing sufficienly serious to prevent Bert making the final.

Sportsman ET eliminations round 1

Eurodragster.com sponsor Tig Napier a no-show for his race with ELaine Hancock. Cath Napier came to see us earlier with fingers crossed that the repaired radiator held but I guess not. Great 0.0079 RT by Clive Dandridge in his race Alan Medley. 0.0084 RT by Chris Orthdoxou in his race with Ricky Hale. Andy Dibley's only Championship rivel Jemma Hale through this round but as Dibbles also went through there are not enough rounds left to make up the difference so congratulations to 2016 UK National Sportsman ET Champion Andy Dibley.

Super Pro ET eliminations round 1

Ian Powell +0.0017 on dial-in in his race against Brad Jackson. Marius Blackburn a no-show for his race with Rick Cooke after the motor of the S&K Racing dragster put out a rod yesterday. Billy Gane's race with Scott Hauser crucial for the UK Championship, with Billy leading and Scott in #3, #2 Brad Jackson out. Scott through so up to #2 in the Championship and two more round wins will win him the title - and he has a bye in the next round. Potential Championship rival Ian Powell potentially has two byes to a meeting with scott.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the UK National Finals brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be online so long as the track is open (see below) and will broadcast live video with commentary / Nitro FM audio. Thanks to Doyousee.me for the provision of streaming services.

We had some rain in the last couple of hours so right now the track is wet, however the track crew are already out there dealing with the surface water. I am guessing we may start late but start we will; please remember that this will affect "So long as the track is open".

Before we go any further a big Well Done to the racers' team who beat the SPR / SPRC team 4-1 in last night's Charity Football Match to raise funds for Bloodwise in memory of Paula Marshall. You can check out Kirstie's picture's via the Event Index. A big thumbs up also to those who organised it. You can still donate to Bloodwise on the football match's JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/SantaPodFootball2016.

The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is tuned in from Exeter, NH. Attentive readers will notice that the location has changed; love and best wishes to you in your new home Kathy. Good Morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, with an especial Hello to our ever-present overseas fans Ivar Kolberg and Kai Plathan in Norway and Finland respectively. A big Thank You to Team Nutritionist Syd McDonald for accommodation last night and lunch today.

The plan for today is the usual real-time race report and results but please note that Your Reporter is also announcing alongside Colin Theobald and monitoring the webcast so the commentaries in the report may be a touch less detailed than usual. Simon will be bringing us real-time updates on Championship standings which we shall include in the live report.

We were due to start at 09:30, but that will likely change depending upon how track drying goes. We will of course keep you informed here so stay tuned, and of course you have the Nitro FM audio-only feed which you can find on the Event Index.

Did I mention that the racers won 4-1?
