the usual Facebook ghouls couldn't be bothered to ascertain as they were too busy vying to be the
first to post about his crash. Jon Turner a no show for his race with Bob Molden.

Dale Leeks 7.4113/176.44, Filppos Papafilippou 7.4927/181.41
1.0894 to sixty for Thomas, tyre screeched briefly, had to feather it as he got close to the centre
line at the eighth 4.4725/155.30. Still, an improvement but stayed in place. Rene had to change the motor
after breaking the case yesterday. Great run! 1.0659 to sixty, then a second burnout, so much smoke that
the bike started to disappear, Rene calmly feathered it and picked up, 4.7564/167.30 at the eighth.
1.1369 to sixty for Steve but the bike was heading left and he had to get off the gas. 1.0974 to sixty
for Lorcan, 4.4123/164.80 to the eighth, great run! PB for Eric, 1.1088 to sixty, 4.5114/159.94 at the
eighth. 1,0887 to sixty for Allan, sounded to run out of grunt around the eighth 4.6683/140.23 but then
picked up in the second half. 1.1184 to sixty for Dale, 1.2702 to Fil already sounding off-colour. 4.7274/151.08

Roman Sixta 7.7643/134.86, Martijn de Haas 11.2854/82.28
1.2749 to sixty for Bruno, off the throttle and back on, eighth in 5.2389/118.88 and full throttle
in the second half. Slight improvement but stayed in place. Gentle burnout for Roman, similar for Martijn.
1.1436 to sixty for Roman, 1.2004 for Martijn, smoke and a pop from Martijn's motor and he was off the gas.
Shake for Roman and a feather lost him time, back on the gas through the eighth 4.6223/146.22 then
shut off in the second half.

Len Paget 7.5078/173.74, Martin Newbury 7.3626/178.52
Tonnie's motor cut at the hit. Mark shut off before staging. Serge took the bye, 1.1590 to sixty
and then sounded to run out of gears. 4.8983/132.92 at the eighth. Great runs for Alex and Charly and
more to come as Charyl's bike took a long way round, Charly up to #2 and Alex up to #5. Consistent runs
for Fredrik and Bish, stayed in place. Eurodragster.com sponsor Martin rode through shake and then an hourglassing
tyre, still a slight improvement but stayed in place.

Simon has posted another set of pit notes which you can check out via the Event Index.
European Nitro Funny Car Series qualifying session 4 (left lane first)
Birgitte Bremnes 5.5214/132.18 bye;
Only Birgitte turned out for this session. Very nice pass it was at the outset. 0.9318 to sixty,
2.4239 to 330 feet, off the gas before then, 3.8574/151.00 at the eighth. Don't know if it was a planned
early shut-off but another smooth-looking well-managed pass.
Qualifying after this session:
- Steve Ashdown 4.8081/188.16
- Kevin Kent 5.0365/157.38
- Birgitte Bremnes 5.5214/132.18

Liam Jones 4.1733/291.28 Anita Mäkelä 4.5007/173.50
0.8546 to sixty for Duncan, 0.8724 for Antti, nice clean launches for both. 2.2166 to 330 feet for Duncan and
2.2374 for Antti. Duncan's tyres started to shake then smoke, car made a move and he was off it before the eighth 3.5089/164.66.
Antti to the eighth in 3.2365/251.45 blackstriping it all the way, haze from the motor at the stripe. 0.8827 to sixty for
Stig, 0.8764 for Micke, both racers' tyres started to rattle, Stig off the gas about 250 feet out with his car's body language suggesting
broken blower belt. Micke also off the gas before 330 feet. 0.9149 to sixty for Liam, 0.8335 for Anita, Liam to
330 feet in 2.3338 to Anita's storming 2.1904, looked from here as if Anita's blower belt broke, 3.2531 at a slowing
206.73 at the eighth. Liam to the eighth in 3.3388/253.47, tyres looked to be turning and I think Liam's belt also broke in the
last knockings.
Qualifying after this session:
- Liam Jones 3.9751/301.79

Next up was Jndia Erbacher licencing in the Top Fuel Dragster owned by Eurodragster.com sponsor Urs Erbacher.
Two full passes required of which this is the first after the Maltese Sixty Foot on Thursday. 0.8376 to sixty,
2.1737 to 330 feet, the car made a move left, then right, then a serious move left and right at the eighth
3.1899/228.73, I swear we saw both sides of the dragster. 4.3055/193.53 at the stripe and a very gutsy 4.3 it was too.

FIA Pro Stock qualifying session 4 (left lane first)
Stefan Ernryd 6.6747/205.34, Michael Malmgren 6.6824/205.21;
Magnus Pettersson 6.7515/199.87, Thomas Lindström 6.6693/206.06;
Simon Gustafsson shut off, Bengt Ljungdahl 6.6244/198.81 bye
Short burnout for Stefan, not even to the start line, not much longer a burnout for Michael.
Great match between Stefan and Michael! Stefan to sixty in 0.9933 to Michael's 0.9897, Stefan's car
started to drift left but he stayed on the gas, Michael drove through brief shake and got to the
eighth in 4.2903/163.37 to the eighth. 4.2965/164.13 to the eighth for Stefan and a new PB, well
done Stefan! Magnus' motor banged on starting, re-start without any issue.
0.9804 to sixty for Magnus, a little shake and a slight left move. 0.9803 for Thomas, 4.2769/162.85
to the eighth. 4.3187/161.72 to the eighth for Magnus and shut off just before the stripe.
Carb cough for Simon before staging and pushed back. 0.9597 to sixty for Bengt, car started to
head left but Bengt carried on as if it wasn't an issue, 4.2325/164.73 at the eighth then got very close
indeed to the centre line, played chicken with the 1000 foot reflectors and then got off it
and put the chutes out just before the stripe, almost had the last two reflectors
with the left chute.
Qualifying after this session:

1.0699 with big shake for Marck, pedal as car headed left and back on it, 0.9981 for Marcus driving
through shake. 4.5126/166.60 eighth for Marck, 4.0710/168.23 for Marcus but Marcu's motor was smoking
and the smoke got more and more dense and the car disappeared entirely by the stripe. Safety crews chased
Marcus down and clean-up called at the top end. 330-foot burnout for Freddy doubtless using a test of
the new gearbox as an excuse. 1.2031 to sixty for Freddy with shake, 1.1292 for Håkan. Freddy as ever
pedalled, back on it, pedalled, back on it, stuff came off the pick-up and he eventually shut it off.
In the other lane Håkan pedalled and the Viper picked up its skirts and went. 4.5190/176.97 at the
eight but visibly accelerating hard in the second half. Micke not in his frequent Last Chance Saloon but
has issues to address. 0.9846 to sixty for Micke, tyres shaking and blackstriping, the Camaro
headed left and Micke had to pedal, wrenched the car to the right and we saw most of the side of it.
Jean to sixty in 1.1278 with awful shake and shut it off about 250 feet out. 4.0844/169.49 to the eighth
for Micke even with the pedalling is pretty damn good. Brief burnout for Wayne. Appalling shake for
Eurodragster.com sponsor Marco after 1.0637 sixty, the Vette went right and off the pedal. 1.0301 to
sixty for Wayne, shake and the Vette started to move to the right, off the gas before the eighth. Check
of Wayne's lane in the shutdown area followed by clean-up. Shale off the line for Eurodragster.com sponsor
Andy, 1.1149 to sixty, shake and a pedal, more shake but stayed on it. 1.0168 to sixtu for Bobby driving
through shake like it wasn't happening, 4.1186/179.11 to the eighth. Andy to the eighth in 4.4175/178.90
rolling off the gas. Great run for Bruno! 0.9846 to sixty, driving through mild shae, 3.9449/187.99 to
the eighth, straight down the middle of his lane but some smoke at the stripe. 1.0485 to sixty for Norbert
then shake, Avenger made a move to the left and Norbert got off the gas. 1.0985 to sixty with shake for
Kev, right side door flapping and the shake getting worse and worse, Kev off the gas, 1.0101 to sixty for
Bert, bad shake and suddenly turned right and crossed lanes in front of a slowing Kev, banged the 330 foot
reflector high in the air. Pulled it back into his lane. Back to Bruno, interviewed on the top end
feed, sounded absolutely drained as if he was playing on 33⅓ and not 45. Jimmy to sixty in
1.0194, light shake, 3.9518/189.58 at the eighth. 1.0220 to sixty for David, drove through high-frequency
shake, 4.0145/186.25 at the eighth drifting gently left and shut off after the eighth. Jimmy on the gas
all the way to the stripe and into #1 spot. David interviewed on the top end feed said that the motor
just quit on him.

Remember that TMFCs will have 0.26 taken off their ET for qualifying purposes and in eliminations will get a
0.26 head start.
Steph Milam 6.0618/237.34 bye; Rod Harrison 20.6138/43.22, Jonny Lagg 5.7036/254.76;
Timo Habermann 8.6731/126.51, Dennis Habermann 5.4243/266.71
Great run for Steph. 1.0415 to sixty, FC started to drift right and bounce but Steph stayed with it,
4.0100/188.81 at the eighth. Shake and lost drive for Rod, 1.3334 to sixty already with issues and that was his run done.
1.0353 to sixty for Jonny, 3.8209/208.65 at eighth, looked like all cylinders lit from here but I am guessing the
temperature is not helping. Steph gets Jonny in Europe's first staggered-start Top Methanol race tomorrow.
1.0092 with shake for Timo, tyre smoke, pedal, tyre smoke and off the gas as the dragster moved right. 0.9285 to sxty for
Dennis, 3.5798/210.61 at the eighth, straight down the middle of the lane, #1 spot consolidated.

Simon has posted a set of pit notes which you can check out via the Event Index.
Gearhead Garage UK Super Pro ET eliminations round 1
0.0072 RT for Thomas Haas in his race with Sam Young. Mick Howling +0.0054 on dial-in in his race with
Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters. Pete's not a moaner in any case but with a profitable four-Perfect
Light and a #1 qualifier with a four-Perfect ET I don't think Pete will feel he has any cause for complaint
about his first outing in the Gold RV dragster. Laura Turburville +0.0030 in her race with Scott Crookston
but pulled a red light. Similar story for Nick Good, +0.0026 on dial-in but went red. Next pair and a
perfect 0.0004 RT for Ashley Bell in his race with John Gerritsen, well done Ashley! Smoke from Asley's
motor at the top end, track checked and all OK so hopefully no damage. Steve Johnson in as an alternate for
Steve Saunders, broke out but a great run including a pedal as the car made a move, in the other lane Brian
Pateman +0.0059 on dial-in. Austin Jaques in as an alternate for either Marc Henney or Ian Brown, take your
pick which as both were a no show.

First pair and Jack Gooding with problems before staging, shut it off. Roman Sixta up from #29 to #27 at 0.0950.
Next pair and a squeaker for Aaron Fensome, -0.0034. Nice 0.0040 for Sara Valesova but her earlier 0.0028 stands,
but always good to repeat the feat or near as dammit. Similar for Caitlin Wilson, 0.0058 on previous best of 0.0037.
Improvement for Billy Everitt but stayed in place. Sweet cigarette paper -0.0084 for Harry Redshaw next pair.

Filippos Papafilippou 6.6874/205.34, Dale Leeks 7.7902/132.57; Rikard Gustafsson 7.0484/164.24, Stuart Crane 6.9515/188.90
Lorcan shut off before staging. Eric took the bye, 1.1236 to sixty,4.6873/150.57 at the eighth.
Puff of smoke, flash of flame out of Alan's exhaust and stopped by the Tree. 1.0803 to sixty
for Steve, 2.7854 to 330 feet then the bike started heading for the centre line and Steve shut it
off, much manoeuvring of his body to pull it away. Fil to sixty in 1.1397, Dale in 1.10963,
Dale's motor hesitated briefy and from then on didn't sound right, Dale feathered the throttle in the second half.
Fil down the middle of his lane and an improvement to consolidate his #2 spot. Lazy-looking launch for
rikard, 1.1809 to sixty, hestiated and feathered the throttle then got off it, a stab of the throttle and chute out.
1.0631 to sixty for Stu, 4.4078/158.32 to the eighth and back into the sixes, well done Stu!

Martijn de Haas 6.9490/205.33, Roman Sixta 6.8912/206.12
Gert-Jan's motor was labouring at the hit, a puff of smoke then a flash of flame passing the Tree and he rolled
to a halt just past the quarter. 1.6628 to sixty for Bruno, bike went towards the rail but he stayed with it.
1.2826 to sixty for Martijn, 1.1537 for Roman, Martijn looked to be reeling Roman in all the way down although
the stats belie it, 4.6149/173.06 at the eighth for Martijn and 4.5460/165.42 for Roman. Improvement for Roman
but stayed in place.

Sounded like a misfire for Mark, 1.4398 to sixty, sounded to be struggling all the way
but a time on the board. Tonnie still with gear shift problems by the look and sound of it.
1.1638 to sixty for Serge, 4.9140/136.04 to the eighth, very close to the rail but stayed with it
all the way. 1.0633 to sixtyfor Fredde, 1.1696 for Alex. Alex sounded to have two goes at on gear
shift but was going greatguns, only shut off because he was close to the centre line, just dodged
the reflectors. Great rebound for Kenneth after blowing up his new motor yesterday, hard workl rewarded.
1.0904 to suxty, 4.5843/147.96 at the eighth. Improvement for Bish, up to #5, improvement for
Fredrik but crew didn't look too happy with that. Eurodagster.com sponsor Martin improved but stayed
#3, inthe other lane Len sounded to run out of gears towards the eighth, stayed with it but
momentum lost.

European Nitro Funny Car Series qualifying session 3 (left lane first)
Birgitte Bremnes 6.0280/117.34 bye; Kevin Kent 5.1912/147.61, Steve Ashdown 5.1333/150.12
Birgitte rolled the beams very slightly affecting her ET. Looked to drive through light shake, shut off
by 330 feet 2.6100. 4.1699/136.40 at the eighth long off the gas. Stev isibly away first 0.1037 to Kevin's 0.1750,
Kevin with the better sixty 0.9182 to Steve's 0.9325, both cars' tyres starting to shake and both cars moving left.
Steve's tyres hourglassed just past 330 feet 2.4080 and Kevin's car was heading for the guardrail, 2.4188 at
330 feet. Steve off the gas as the FC was almost on the centre line, wrenched it away. Kevin off the gas a moment
last and pulled the car away from the rail, looked quite an abrupt turn but Kevin knows his stuff and had it covered.
Qualifying after this session:
- Steve Ashdown 4.8081/188.16
- Kevin Kent 5.0365/157.38

FIA Top Fuel Dragster qualifying session 3 (left lane first)
Micke Kågered 4.2302/215.05 bye; Antti Horto 5.9058/105.77, Liam Jones 3.9751/301.79;
Urs Erbacher 4.2244/263.85, Stig Neergaard 4.0735/290.14; Anita Mäkelä 4.0060/293.19, Duncan Micallef no time shut off
0.8639 to sixty for Micke, real clean launch, 2.2162 to 330 feet, smoke from the left side of the motor
before the eighth 3.2247/241.51 then the smoke intensified, a flash of flame became a big fire on the left side
looked like a head gasket sort of fire. Micke off the gas voluntarily or not before the stripe and stopped about
half way down the shutdown area, the fire crews were there in moments. Small clean-up just past 1000 feet and a
longer clean-up in the shutdown area. Micke up to #2. Soft-sounding burnout for Antti, very aggressive on-off
burnout for Liam. Fantastic run for Liam! 0.8456 to sixty, no more than routine shake, 2.1936 to 330 feet,
3.1649/260.13 at the eighth, drove it out the back door. 0.8539 to sixty for Antti, tyres started to shake
by 330 feet 2.2767, car made a move and Antti shut it off. Eurodragster.com sponsor Urs again in the car
until he is happy with his ladder placing I guess. Urs left the line with cylinders out, 0.8932 to sixty,
Stig with all eight lit 0.8814. 2.3239 to 330 feet for Urs, 2.2611 for Stig. Urs' tyres looked to be
turning a little by the eighth 3.3449/246.69, off the gas before the stripe. 3.2444/25574 at the eighth for
Stig looked to be on it all the way. That was a et a solid number on the board tune-up rather than
trying to break records I'd say. Banging noise from Duncan's motor as he went on the second fuel pump and
then didn't move when the Tree ran, eventually shut off. Great run for Anita, 0.8404 to sixty and stuck to
the track, 2.2004 at 330 feet, 3.1825/259.30 at the eighth and haze from the motor past the eighth.
On hold for clean-up.

Michael Malmgren no time broke, Magnus Pettersson no time DQ; Thomas Lindström 6.6941/193.05, Simon Gustafsson 6.7784/205.18
Great run for Bengt! 0.9675 to sixty, no sign of shake and smooth gearshift, 4.2231/165.41 at the eighth. #1 spot
consolidated with an improvement. 0.911 RT for Robin then huge shake which we could feel up here, Robin played no further
part in proceedings, put the chutes out at half track. 1.1094 to sixty for Stefan, 4.4080/159.65 at the eighth, improvement
but stayed in place. Magnus left before the lights ran. Michael hit very bad shake then sounded from here as if the
transmission gave out, motor stopped about 120 feet out and Michael rolled to a halt under the gantry. I would imagine
he is seeing about seventeen gantries right now and each one in a different colour. Great match between Thomas and Simon,
Simon visibly away first 0.0282 to 0.0800, Thomas wth the better sixty 0.9718 to Simon's 1.0210, no real sign of shake for either.
Simon down the middle of his lane, Thomas drifting a little. 4.2770/164.08 to the eighth for Thomas, 4.3673/161.68 for
Simon. Thomas put the chutes out before the stripe.

David Vegter 6.1019/235.28, Bobby Wallace 6.3038/215.94
As things stand the bad news is that Michel Tooren is out, Simon has more for you on that. Michel hunting Andy Chilton
who may be able to assist, if you are reading this Andy then please get in touch. Valve or some other piece of metal came
out of the right side exhaust during Rick's burnout. Other small shreds of metal found on the track, sweeper called.
0.9984 to sixty for Marcus, 1.1015 for Marck with shake. Marcus hit shake and the Vette drifted left, Marck already shaking
and the 'Bird went left, he pedalled then gave it up, Marcus packed it in too. Marck put out the chutes at about 1000 feet.
Great runs for Wayne and Jimmy! 1.0185 to sixty for Wayne, 1.0175 for Jimmy, the Old 51 was shaking and heading left,
a pedal for Jimmy and pulled it straight. Wayne's Vette was moving gently towards the centre line but he stayed with it.
4.1940/172.41 to the eighth for Wayne, 4.0497/177.47 for Jimmy. Improvement for Wayne but stayed in place, Jimmy up to #2.
Kev Slyfield shut off for a fuel leak. Meanwhile Freddy did his burnout and rolled to 1000 feet only to lose reverse on the
way back and had to be pushed back from about 350 feet. 1.0419 to sixty then shake and the pick-up headed left, a pedal and
pulled it away from the line, hit it again and more shake and the pick-up started fishtailing violently... Freddy in
shut-off shock. Jean down to run against Håkan Persson, Håkan at the head of the lanes but did not come round,
looks from here like a simple confusion. Jean rolled the beams, hit the gas and had instant shake, flame from the exhausts
and the Camaro crossed lanes. Håkan not being there a distinct advantage. 100 feet of shake for Håkan, 1.0649 to
sixty, pedalled at 100 feet then off he went. 4.7886/172.42 at the eighth and into the ladder. 1.0089 to sixty for Bert,
1.0911 for Micke with shake, two pedals for Micke and the second pedal left blackstripe on the track, one further
pedal a bit further down the track. 4.0738/179.66 to the eighth for Bert, 4.4978/171.06 for Micke, new PB speed for Bert,
well done Bert and Andy! 1.0203 to sixty for Norbert, 1.0046 for Bruno then the shake kicked in. Bruno tried to drive through
it and the vette started to move towards the guardrail, shut off past the eighth 4.4876/152.08. Norbert also close to the
left guardrail but wasn't getting off it for anything, 4.0763/179.10 at the eighth. Smoke from Norbert's motor at the
stripe, track checked and all OK. Match-up of the Eurodragster.com sponsors, Andy and Marco. 1.1542 to sixty for Andy,
1.0827 for Marco, hideous shake for both. Marco shut off as the Vette headed right, Andy gave it a couple of goes and
gave it up. Great runs for David and Bobby, David into #1. 1.0033 to sixty for David, 1.0021 for Bobby, David with the
better eighth 4.0104/185.75 to Bobby's 4,0968/174.78. Consistent run for Bobby. Very little sign of shake for either
and both down the middle of their lanes.

FIA Top Methanol qualifying session 3 (left lane first)
Remember that TMFCs will have 0.26 taken off their ET for qualifying purposes and in eliminations will get a
0.26 head start.
Jonny Lagg 5.8402/239.98 bye; Steph Milam 6.9196/224.75, Rod Harrison 10.2565/80.39;
Dennis Habermann 5.4679/265.59, Timo Habermann 5.4843/265.09
One cylinder out on the right side all the way down the track. 1.0218 to sixty, 3.8510/239.98 at the eighth.
Steph left gently, 1.3587 to sixty, then put in more power down the track. 4.7720/177.84 at the eighth.
1.0115 to sixty for Rod, then a pop from his motor and shut it off before 330 feet. No chutes for Steph, just
went into the field by the sound of it. Very quickly retrieved though. We crunched some more numbers on Dennis'
and Timo's identical-to-the-fifth-place ETs of yesterday, had they left the line simultaneously then the 13 millionths
of a second difference at the finish line would have equated to 0.06 inches. 0.9621 to sixty for Dennis,
0.9039 for Timo, Timo drove through bad shake and hung on as the dragster went left and right, close to
the centre line he was too. 3.6262/210.94 to the eighth for Dennis and 3.6248/207.68 for Timo.
Qualifying after this session:

Petteri Liimatainen followed with a licencing pass. Great burnout but motor stopped on the way back.
Sandro Bellio followed in Danny's Funny Car. Great run! 0.9834 to sixty, 3.8049/197.74 at the eighth, off the
gas and chutes out in the traps, 5.8421/214.83. Well done Sandro, Danny and team!

Comp Eliminator qualifying session 8
7.6359 for Andy Hone's Super Mod even with a double-step off the line, that's quite something.
Good morning again Scorpion, tuned in to keep up with Guido Uhlir's progress. Right turn off the
line and backed off. Relatively conservative 200-foot burnout for Robin Orthodoxou, I hope he is
quite well. Greetings to Chris O tuned in from a secret location on a secret mission. Very bad
shake off the line for Robin, pedalled got got back on it. Excellent 7.5398 for Rob Smallworth
in the other lane.

Gary Gooding back into the sevens and up to #3, in the other lane a pop from Martin Smith's motor
and he backed off. Improvement for Mark Todd to consolidate his #1 spot and another big improvement
for Anthony Wilkins in the Morris Woody. Great run for Andy Bond, into the sevens in the Ugly Sister,
looked very easy so one suspects much more in there yet. Improvement for Al Williamson but stayed
#4.

Joe Kellett up from #21 to #18 in the first pair at +0.0348. Next pair and a squeaker -0.0068 RT for Eurodragster.com
brother-in-law Tom Atkinson, shut it off early. Austin Jaques will I suspect be pleased with his 8.5861 on 8.76 dial-in.
Great paired dragster burnouts by Martyn Jones and Daniel Giles. Daniel Giles up from #7 to #4 at +0.0042. Next pair
and John Przybyl lost fire on the way back from the burnout, got it re-fired. Meanwhile Laura Turburville shut off for
a fluid leak. John took the bye, nice +0.0081 RT and 0.0096 breakout. Breakout for Michael Maderer but gets points for
the Nightwish logo on the back window. Congratulations to Johan Oomen on his first six-second pass, 6.9777/195.54. Now
for 200 mph eh Johan? Qualified #33 so as things stand he will be spectating but will be doing so with a nice warm feeling.
Gordon Northway up from #16 to #8 at +0.0116. Big breakout for Steve Johnson in the Nostalgia slingshot, 7.2371 on 7.50
dial-in, very happy Brains Trust on the start line. More to come as there was a brief pedal. Looked like a problem for Scott
Hauser, was at the head of the lanes but then pushed out of line. Having pulled a 0.0000 light on Friday, Eurodragster.com
sponsor Pete Walters in fellow sponsor Derek Flynn's dragster pulled a +0.0000 against dial-in, 7.1000 on 7.10 dial-in and
an unassailable #1 place. Well done Pete, Derek and team! Glad to see whatever ailed Scott Hauser sorted, -0.0015 RT
and breakout but the main thing is that he ran.

Modurstang Pro ET qualifying session 9
Second pair and James Forster up from #3 to #2 at +0.0027. Nice 0.0060 Rt for Lee Huxley, all the better for it
being on a Sunday morning. Squeaker -0.0016 RT for Tim Stanbury to whom thanks for the frequent supportive E-Mails.
Yet another PB for James Oliver, 9.7838 albeit on a 9.85 dial-in which I bet he thought was optimistic, well done
James! Great 0.0049 RT for Laura Baynton and up from #20 to #16 at +0.0284, car going good and straight after issues
in previous sessions. The Unsworths' Mustang towed back to the pits, hopefully nothing too serious. 0.0090 RT for
Keith Herbert in the final pair.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the FIA / FIM Main Event brought to you in association with
John Woolfe Racing.
No Webster Race
Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcast from us today;
Web TV for the rest of the event will be provided by Trakbak Racing and Track Group Europe and you can check that out
by clicking here. Anyone contacting
us with queries or comments about a webcast with which we have nothing to do should not be suprised at the reception they
receive.
It's a nice day here at Santa Pod, sun and a little hazy high cloud, gentle breeze and already quite warm.
A big Good Morning to all of the Eurodragsterholics especially, as ever, to Kai Plathan and Otto tuned in from Finland
and our faithful fan Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway.
We do not yet have the updated running order for today but for one reason and another we lost the whole of Sportsman Q9 yesterday so
my guess would be that the Q10 on the original version gets altered to Q9 and that's the only change. Eliminations will be commencing
in most Sportsman classes today. Pro sessions are booked in for 10:30 and 14:30.
Stay tuned and as soon as the first pair fire up we'll be back with the news.
