Championship decider, Alex wins his race he is Champion. 0.0010 RT a good start but motor sounded to be struggling and Bertrand took it.

Eric with a -0.3668 red handed it to Stu.

07:35 Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the FIA/FIM European Finals brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing. Cloudy this morning but not cold, again a headwind. Today's plan is for the usual real-time reports and results and an end-day gallery courtesy of Julian and off-track photographer Diana. No pit notes today as Simon is unwell, our best wishes for a rapid recovery Simon and we'll see you next week. No webcast from us today, the Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be back at next week's NSRA Hot Rod Drags, but Santa Pod Raceway are providing their excellent free multi-camera high-def Web TV for all four days of the event. You can find a link on the Event Index. The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman in New Hampshire, hope you are having a good weekend Kathy. A big Good Morning to all the Eurodragsterholics out there, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Finland, Ivar Kolberg in Norway, and Bob Roberts. Thanks to all of you for your continued support. The Championships are coming together, some are done. With thanks to Andy Marrs for confirming our maths the current state of affairs is as follows:
Apologies to Meggie Talbot and team for the incorrect information posted at the the start of the day. After a query Simon kindly sat up in his sick bed and checked the maths for us. We are due to start at 09:30 with E2 of Gearhead Garage Super Pro ET. Super Street Bike and Junior Drag Bike, which missed out on their Q4s last night, are due their Q4 during this morning's first Pro session which commences at 09:45. Sit tight and as soon as the first pair fires up we will be back with all the news. In the meantime you could do worse than to check out yesterday's gallery, which is accessible via the Event Index.
