Marck visibly moved first 0.1561 to 0.3332. Wayne with an excellent 0.9313 sixty to Marck's 1.0839, Marck then hit real bad shake through which he tried to drive but the 'Bird wasn't having it and turned hard right and he had to back out of it. Wayne to the eighth in 4.1742/175.60, the Vette was swaying left and right in the second half but he stayed with it. New PBs for ET and speed, well done Wayne and team!

Andy Robinson 6.0479/237.44 bye, Mick Payne no show

Mick out having thrown a rod yesterday, Eurodragster.com sponsor Andy took the bye. 1.0097 to sixty, a fair bit of shake to about 100 feet. 3.9750/186.47 at the eighth with gentle swaying left and right, smoke from the motor in the shutdown area bu no track check so no concern.

Graham Dance a no-show for his race with Richard Hann. Whatever occurred happened below us so we could not see but frantic gesturing from Mark Wells' crew and the start line safety crew as Mark pulled his burnout, Darren of the safety crew grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprinted out of vision. The BurnoutCam showed a big pool of fluid below Mark's bike. Clean-up ensued.

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 plan for today is for the usual real-time reports and results, Championship updates courtesy of Simon (for which reason there will be no pit notes today), and an end-day gallery courtesy of Julian and DD. As well as reporting and running the webcast Your Reporter is also commentating so the reports may not be quite as detailed as usual. As ever I will do my best.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be on-line broadcasting live video and commentary / Nitro FM audio so long as the track is open.

The order of business today is to settle this season's UK Championships; with big thanks to our own Simon for a late night doing sums those 2017 Championships which have already been settled are:

  • MSA British Drag Racing Championship (Pro Modified): Andy Robinson
  • UK National Pro ET: Team Dark Horse
  • UK National Sportsman ET: Andy Dibley
  • UK National Super Street: Leigh Morris
  • Lucas Oil Junior Dragster: Billy Everitt
  • Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator: Mark Todd
  • ACU Pro Stock Bike: Len Paget
  • ACU Funny Bike: Allan Davies

Congratulations all.

Congratulations also to Highlanders United who beat the Bloodwise Bombers 4-3 in last night's Charity Football Match in memory of Paula Marshall. In addition a huge amount of money has been raised for Bloodwise, well done all. You can check out a gallery from the match via the Event Index as well as galleries from Friday's All Torque Test Day and yesterday's qualifying.

It is a glorious day here at Santa Pod, almost cloudless with a beautiful sunrise. Not at all cold either. The track crew having worked late last night were out early again this morning scraping the track.

I believe that ET Bike, having been sent back right at the end yesterday, will have their Q3 first thing this morning; your Pit Marshal will confirm. We are due to start at 09:30 so stay tuned and once the wheels start to turn we'll bring you all the news from the last day of the 2017 UK Championships.
