Kevin Chapman 4.4514/282.18 def. Kevin Kent 4.2360/286.49

Kevin K on ET and speed records. Kevin C visibly left first 0.1243 to 0.3523, Kevin K with the better sixty 0.9189 to 0.9902. No real sign of shake for either. Kevin K with the better 330 foot 2.3757 to 2.5259 and the better eighth 3.3939/251.42 to Kevin C's 3.5949/243.87. Kevin K's FC made a move left towards the thousand, Kevin C took the stripe by 0.0126. A flash of flame from Kevin K's motor right under the gantry, car on fire and safety crews chased him to the end of the track. Kevin K's 4.236 and 286.49 backed up for new records and that was the quickest and festest side-by-side of the 1000-foot Funny Car era. Well done Kevin C, Kevin K, John Smith and teams! Hold for top end clean-up.

Maja's motor zinged during the burnout and she shut off. Pushed back to the lee of the Tree so that Liam could run. Liam took a fantastic bye, 0.8678 to sixty, 2.2092 to 330 feet, 3.1400/270.46 at the eighth and again looked to get off it after the thousand. A fantastic trio of runs for Liam.

Motorsport UK Pro Modified eliminations round 2

Kev Slyfield 6.1366/230.42 def. Nick Davies 6.2395/233.84

Great to see Nick and the team back after the field trip, Nick tells me that the damage is superficial. Kev moved first 0.0754 to 0.0842, the better sixty 1.0110 to Nick's 1.0548, Kev drove through shake, high-frequency shake marks in Nick's lane too. Kev with the better eighth 4.0024/183.48 to Nick' s4.1392/185.47, Nick looked to be coming back at Kev towards the end but Kev took it by 0.1117. Nick late with the chutes, safety crews started to move out on to the shutdown area but then turned back.

Marck Harteveld 6.0749/228.17 def. Bobby Wallace 6.3421/221.23

Bobby away first 0.0656 to Marck's 0.0757, the better sixty for Marck 1.0020 to 1.0271, high-frequency shake for both which both drove through, Marck's shake marks stop and the tracks go solid about 200 feet out. 3.9844/188.78 eighth for Marck visibly pulling away from Bobby 4.1351/174.78. Marck first to the stripe by 0.2571. Clean-up called in the second eighth in Bobby's lane.

Dan Boone a no-show for his race with Darryl Howells. A step to the right for Darryl's slingshot, almost into the forbidden zone at sixty feet but kept a hold of it. great to see Mark Coulsell and team back out here, Mark popped up to see us last night and said that s bar and some bracing would do the job of fixing the damage. The hard work paid off with an 8.2846/147.60 but Keith Crampton there first, still a gutsy drive by a class act. Bob Hawkins of cours a no-show for his race with Pete Brown.

Secret Worx Comp Eliminator eliminations round 1

Dave Smith left before the first amber, having seen the red Robin Orthdoxou took it easy to about 330 feet then wellied it.

Good morning from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the Festival of Power brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

It's a glorious day here at Santa Pod, not a cloud in the sky. The track is being sledded and looks (and in this case sounds) just great.

Today's plan is again for a real-time reports and results throughout the day, pit notes updated throughout the day, and then a gallery at the end of the day. No webcast from us this weekend, Santa Pod Raceway are streaming the event on YouTube Live and Facebook; you can find a link to the YouTube on the Event Index and please note that the YouTube won't show the live link until the broadcast commences.

We have a new addition to the team this weekend, Your Reporter's former home laptop which is now a racing laptop. The idea was to use it to generate the galleries and to manage the video files for our friends at Zeon TV. Unfortunately it has spent a lot of the weekend playing up, culminating in a number of Julian's pictures from yesterday being unreadable. The pictures were fine, the problem was with the laptop. Yesterday's gallery, which you can check out via the Event Index, is therefore provisional and we will add the missing batch of shots later on.

It wasn't all bad news though as we were treated to a very delicious dinner courtesy of John Hunt of Mark and Jackie Hawkins' Fuel Funny Car team, thank you. Dinner was taken at our desks here in Race Control but believe me it's amazing how much longer you can work with good food inside you. Daytimes are taken care of courtesy of lunch provided by Eurodragster.com Team Nutritionist Syd McDonald to whom many thanks also.

The traditional Raceday Good morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is tuned in from NH. Good Morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, and Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway. A big Thank You to Chris Orthodoxou whose E-Mail made me laugh out loud.

We are starting at 09:30 with E2 of Modurstang Pro ET. E1 of Motorsport UK Pro Modified and Banks Nightclub Top Fuel Bike are scheduled for 11:00. Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you the news.
