Terry Gibbs Super Gas Shootout qualifying session 3

First pair and Andy Harrison up from #4 to #1 at +0.0039. Squeaker -0.0002 RT for Jon Giles, can't say he's not trying. 0.0048 for Collin Morrice a couple of pairs later, in the other lane Simon Gough up to #2 for Belle at +0.0076, until the next pair when Tayler Letchford, a cat lover we presume, took #2 off him at +0.0045.

Super Comp qualifying session 3

Paul Letchford up to #2 from #7, +0.0195. Next pair and Ben Bridges pushed back from the bleach box. 0.0095 RT for Stu Doignie and up to #4, in the other lane a much straighter run for Martin Curbishley, an 8.8814 breakout in the Fix Auto Penzance-sponsored dragster but that's what you get for not taking the long way round this time.

Gearhead Garage UK Super Pro ET qualifying session 3

Second pair and John Przybyl up from #19 to #2 at +0.0042. Oliver Petzold and Dave Evans side-by-side up the ladder #19 to #11 and #21 to #5 at +0.0078, chute for the webcam into the bargain. Next pair and Ian Powell up from #19 to #11 at +0.0218, no chute for that one though. Birthday girl Laura Turburville up the ladder again, #6 to #1 at +0.0015. Sylvain Nowak with a breakout 8.4953 on an 8.60 but very happy crew, I am guessing a PB, if so then formidable, Sylvain! Billy Everitt shut off on return from his burnout, Brian Pateman took the bye and moved up from #13 to #8 at +0.0123. Then went on hold for a track check. On the restart Pel Norman up from #11 to #2 at +0.0026. Next pair and a Perfect Light for Joe Kellett, 0.0007, well done Leah! 0.0018 RT for Bob Doyle a couple of pairs later. Great run for John Gerritsen, 6.55 dial-in but I am guessing a PB of 6.6698/202.36 and just as importantly a nice straight pass and didn't need to put the chute out until the appointed place. Well done John and team! Session closed by Aaron Fensome in the blown-alcohol dragster, 0.0088 RT and 7.1987 on 7.00 dial-in, shut off just before the stripe so more in there. Well done aaron and team!

Modurstang Pro ET qualifying session 3

First pair and Mark Bailey into the eights and, strictly, out of Pro ET territory with an 8.9523 but he's been there before and come back alive. Great wheelie by Dan Williams but preceded by a set of nudges into stage of which Rick McCann himself would approve. In the other lane Simon Innes up the ladder again, #10 to #2 at +0.0069, not far off the Eurodragster.com / Vitesse Labelling Products Perfect ET Award. Janine Hagen up from #38 to #16 and probably safely into the ladder now at +0.0457. Guy King up from #33 to #20 at +0.0561. Next air and problems for Neil Watkins, the big pick-up making a hard move left at launch, off the gas and on again and another move left so got off the gas and idled through. Hans Niesner up from #32 to #2 at +0.0043. two pairs later and Steve Hudson with a perfect 9.1107 on 9.11 dial-in takes #1 and subject to a decal check the Eurodragster.com / Vitesse Labelling Products Perfect ET Award, congratulations Steve! Next but one pair and Bob Molden ran a perfect 9.6506 on 9.65 dial-in, took over #1 spot also, well done Bob! Brian Huxley up from #26 to #15.

Jan Zimmermann and Tayler Letchford side-by-side up the ladder #14 to #6 and #15 to #7respectively. Dave Fulton up from #14 to #2 but in the other lane Andy Harrison up from #15 to #1. Then Simon Gough did it for Belle, into #1 spot from #15, thank you Simon! That was for a few pairs anyway as Jon Giles took over #1 spot from Simon by 0.0001.

Fuel Funny Car licencing

First outing in Fuel FC for Kevin Chapman who as you will remember earned a Top Fuel Dragster licence last season. US tuner John Smith supervising and UK Fuel FC legend John Spuffard on hand. Motor didn't want to light first time, the usual anti-hydraulic work then fired up for the second time of asking. Nice burnout then work on the idle after returning. I can't say I heard the second fuel pump go in, on the green the car idled down the track, 16.8318/66.67. Pretty much a carbon copy of Gary Page's first run in the Panic FC last year. Either way Kevin has a feel for the tight confines of a Funny Car, I would imagine it felt a bit different to the Top Fueller.

Super Comp qualifying session 2

Andy Williams and Stu Doignie side by side into #1 and #2 respectively. That lasted one pair as Darryl Howells in the usually-Wild Bunch slingshot took over second spot. Good to see Ronald Huis here, in the other lane Steve Field's slingshot moved around its lane and he shut it off and cruised through. Wander around the lane also for Martin Curbishley in the Fix Auto Penzance-sponsored dragster, Martin had it covered. Nice run for Leah Kellett to close the session, up to #2.

Gearhead Garage UK Super Pro ET qualifying session 2

Eurodragster.com brother-in-law Tom Atkinson up from #12 to #2 in the first pair. 0.007 RT for Daniel Giles and up from '6 to #3, in the other lane Steve Johnson's tyres up in smoke, headed right and shut it off. Jens Könnecke up from #11 to #8 but in the other lane birthday girl Laura Turburville up from #36 to #2 at +0.0080. Big burnout by Mark Flavell but outdone by Colin Millar in the other lane, but then shut off before staging, cause not obvious from here. Real squirrelly run for Mick Howling, but had he gone in a straight line he may well have broken out instead of going to #1 from #15 +0.0027, gettting close to the Eurodragster.com / Vitesse Labelling Products money. Next pair and John Przybyl moved up from #36 to #13 at +0.0586. Ashley Bell next up the listr, #21 to #4 at +0.0091. Congratulations to Brad Jackson on taking the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award with a 0.0008 RT, up from #36 to #9 into the bargain. Big breakout for John Gerritsen, 6.7089 on 7.50 dial-in, but banged both quarter mile reflectors in the process. On the restart Marc Henney couldn't get the tyres to light in the burnout, tried again with same result and stood on the brakes, could hear the screech from up here. Billy Gane up from #19 to #12 next pair. 8.4549 on 8.50 breakout for Bob Doyle, that must be getting close to PB territory. Scott Hauser up from #14 to #3 next pair, +0.0073. Next pair and a 300-foot burnout for Martyn Jones and his Top Methanol Dragster which isn't, I think Freddy's backing-up speed record is safe though. In the other lane Paul briwon up from #36 to #13. Bernard Saz next under the Eurodragster.com office and after the burnout his motor sounded for all the world like an unwell washing machine on spin. Shut off and pushed back.

Lucas Oil Junior Dragster qualifying session 1

Looked from here like a Blue Line for Lukas Schmidt's crew, touched the car in pre-stage and a message from starter David Warren up to Race Control pointing at Lukas' car but we'll check the official standings. Squeaker -0.0092 RT for Caitlin Wilson. Superb 0.0030 for Matthew Dowdy, he has had money from Eurodragster.com before and not far off relieving Eurodragster.com and Bad Habit Racing of £75, for the time being he had to settle for #1 spot. -0.0088 for Freddie Taylor a close thing. Thomas Cook-Abbott into #1 next pair at 0.0027.

Terry Gibbs Super Gas Shootout qualifying session 1

Jon Turner not necessarily getting with the programme, 9.3486. A big Thank you to Simon Gough for the Get Well Belle message on the back of his Camaro, Belle being Your Reporter's greyhound who, as of last Monday, is running on three legs and is not quite so good at maths now. Tim Adam another welcome returnee in the Blitzkrieg roadster. Also good to see Rene Kloss here, bit of a wayward run, left and right with a particular twitch right on the stripe. Jon Giles having run a 9.9 in Super Comp into #1 with a 9.9799.

Comp Eliminator qualifying session 1

Paul Brooks straight under index on his first outing with the rebuilt Sierra, nice one Paul! Nice opener for Chris Orthodoxou still developing the blown-alcohol Pro Mod, shut it off at about helf track. Similarly good to see Belinda Bull and Tim Mugridge back. Belinda's pick-up commendably out of shape in the burnout, looked like she was trying to slap starter Dave Warren on the thigh. Shake for Belinda but got through it, huge shake, zinging motor and flames from the exhausts for Tim, backed out of it. The usual great burnout for Robin Orthodoxou, in the other lane Andy Hone into #1.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 1

Great opener for Nigel Hale, PB territory I think. First SE outing for Adam Charnley in his Crossfire which he usually campaigns in Hutchinson & Dibley Sportsman ET, easily below the class cut-off. Next pair and Carl Goldsmith shut off and pulled over to the guardrail just after the eighth, clean-up called.

On the restart squealing tyres for Martin Smith in the big Bentley, pedalled and back on it but time lost to the tyre spin. Eagerly awaiting the nitrous purge for Martin Smith but not this time I think. Oly Whitehouse here testing yesterday, now in SE competition for the first time. Under power to 100 feet or so then took it relatively gently.

A big Hello to Stuart and all the guys at Fix Auto Penzance tuned in to check the progress of Martin Curbishley whom they sponsor.

Super Gas ET for Jon Giles. Phil Bennett pushed back before staging, fluid leak. Big cloud of smoke in the shutdown area from Collin Morrice's Camaro. Track checked and all OK. Steve Field headed right about 100 feet out, then sounded to have problems shifting gears, backed out of it. First competitive outing for Craig Wright in Conrad Stanley's dragster, sponsored by Sales-I.

Gearhead Garage UK Super Pro ET qualifying session 1

Great to see Ian Powell back after his season out. A big Happy Birthday for today to Laura Turburville who ran in the second pair. Joe Kellett in the other lane in at #1 at that point +0.0375. John Gerritsen out of shape at half track, off the gas and chutes out. Big break-out for Mark Flavell but a PB for the Funny Car, 6.7729/198.96, well done Flav and team! Great run for Nick Good, +0.0060, close to the Eurodragster.com / Vitesse Labelling Products Perfect ET Award. Great 0.0067 RT for Scott Crookston and +0.0565, let's not forget Scott usually runs in a heads-up class. Bernard Saz close to the wall approaching the eighth, pedalled and pulled it away but not far away. Aaron Fensome closed the session with a final licencing pass in the blown-alcohol dragster, usual last-run principle that if this pass was good then it would count for qualifying. Sounded to run out of gears at the eighth, a few pedals and off the gas.

Here we go then, a big thumbs-up to the track crew for their hard work. The plan is for five cycles of qualifying subject to the usual Ts & Cs.

£125 up for grabs in the Perfect Awards scheme this weekend; £75 for the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award and £50 for the inaugural Eurodragster.com / Vitesse Labelling Products Perfect ET Award for which decals are mandatory. Said decals are available in Signing On.

Modurstang Pro ET qualifying session 1

First to leave the line at the FIA/FIM Main Event was... hmm, no RTs came up on the timing console. Second pair no times or speeds. Squeaker -0.0003 for David Smith, a fag paper off the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award only a few pairs in. Next pair and Keith Herbert had a go at the same award with a 0.0080 RT. Perfect ET Award sponsor Al Platt in at #1 at that point, +0.0286. Screaming motor and bits emerged from under Jan Scheppers' Mustang, broken yoke. Steve Hudson headed for the Tree at the hit, missed the Tree but went into the blue refuge, it was a close thing. Will Clark in at #2 +0.0401 at that point. Squeaker -0.0013 RT for Mike Lacey. Sean Law's dragster weaving left and right, looked to be getting close to a pendulum but he held on to it. Crew took a good look at the lane in case of fluid. Grumbly-sounding engine for Perfect Light Award sponsor Tig Napier, backed off at the eighth. Karen Stevens' Vega looks great in its new lighter blue, another candidate for Best Appearing Car and it's only May. -0.0004 RT for Harrison Brown, close but no £75.

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.

Today's plan is for a frequently-updated report and results on qualifying, pit notes from Simon, and a photo gallery at the end of the day courtesy of Julian, Diana and Thaliah. The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will be on-line broadcasting live video and trackside audio so long as the track is open.

Please note that "So long as the track is open". Right now we have a damp track as it is raining but the radar currently shows a clear end to it and as you know we have an awesome track crew here. Obviously we will get the webcast up and running in plenty of time so you won't miss anything. Have we ever let you down?

In the meantime why check out the report and huge gallery from yesterday's Pro Peak Performance Test and Tune Day. It got really busy - believe me it was good fun writing a live report and running the webcast at the same time - and there were some outstanding performances. Plus, of course, it is always good to see our European friends after the long break.

A big Good Morning to all the Eurodragsterholics out there, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Finland and Ivar Kolberg in Norway. A big Hello also to our good friend Bob Roberts, and I would imagine that Steve and Jacky Young and Chris and Di Johnson are also tuned in. The answer to your E-Mail, Chris, is that we are still married after twenty seven years precisely because I am away so much.

Stay tuned and we will keep you informed. Don't forget that you can tune in to Nitro FM at www.eurodragster.com/nitrofm.
