Pro Mod racer Mick Payne ran a 7.38/147 to go seventh in qualifying, after a fuel line came off on his first run. He said 'On the second pass the burst panel went which caused valve damage and a small fire. We had to stay up to 2am in the rain to repair the damage and thanks to Bert Englefield, Eric Monsegno and Andy Robinson for their help. We fired up this morning with no leaks and the weather delay helped us. We are building a stock of spare parts and have been pleased with the performance in the Summernationals and here.

Top Sportsman racer Bob Doyle and wife Tracy are running to test after damage early in the season.

Class organiser Nick Brook-Langham said 'We had a fantastic reception and after the competition were invited to the local museum which stayed open late especially for us. We fired up and all drove along the public roads to the museum then back to the track to pick up the trailers. The organisers were even kind enough to lend us the keys to the track to lock up, which is probably the first time in drag racing history that a visiting class has been allowed such a privilege!'

He said 'The track is goood this weekend and the weepers caused by the rain have not been a problem to us at all as the marshals are giving them their full attention. The run was also affected by the fuel timers not running as smoothly as they should have'. After repairs, he qualified first with a 6.15/235. In eliminations, a bye caused by Jon Webster's withdrawal was followed by a win over a red lighting, but quicker, Bert Englefield.

Pro Mod racer and Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster got down the track but as it was an observed run it was not a qualifying pass. 'I launched it in second gear as I was having problems selecting first gear. The main reason we weren't able to make more runs was that the engine was burning pushrod tips which were going blue. We need to modify the oiling system which is a not uncommon problem with the billet turbo hemi engine. I took some advice but the heat was still building up. We will figure a way round it using our machine tools and test before the Euro Finals'.

The blower is a setback billet item and the trans is a Quick Drive Auto, with a Neal Chance convertor in front of a three speed B&J Big Boy gearbox and Pro-Bel can. The rear axle is a Mark Williams modular billet item. So it's an all new drivetrain.

Chris Orthodoxou continued 'The body is a new carbon fibre one made from the mould from the original Viper body with higher wheel humps. My plan is to get down the track and do some licensing passes. Then, seeing as I am working in Kazakhstan, I have arranged my holiday to be back here for the Euro Finals and National Finals'. Chris is crewed for by Steve Saunders.

I have run four sixes here and a best of 6.76/200, the 200mph being my objective for this weekend. When you drop the clutch, it's difficult to keep your foot on the gas, I managed to do that and then missed all the shift points. As well as the hit on the launch there's quite a hit when the chutes come out. But I mainly need to work on my reactions'. Dave thanks co-owner and brother Roger.

Top Sportsman racer Jack Brewster has fitted a new supercharged engine. 'I decided four years ago I wanted one and Kenny Gomez has given me a lot of help on the basic engine and I have done the ancillaries and made the headers. The supercharger is a 14-71 SSI with magnesium components. I didn't have to make chassis changes as the car had already been built to house a blown engine. We are just running checkout passes to get used to and adjust the new setup.' Jack is joined by Csaba Toth, Nick Curtis and Peter Lane and will run the remaining meetings of the championship 'as they come'.

Pro Mod racer Bobby Wallace has found a sweet spot in the tuning of his car, and is running quick and reliably. 'The track is very good this weekend and I underestimated it in session one.
