FIA Pro Modified eliminations round 2
Mats Eriksson 7.3093/127.00 bye, David Vegter no show

to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.
High overcast and a headwind here, not quite as mild as it has been so far.
Today's plan is to bring you real-time reports and results, pit notes courtesy of Simon, and a gallery at the end of the day courtesy of
Julian, Kirstie and Diana. A big Thank You to Nikki Marshall who kindly gave us some pictures from the shutdown area for yesterday's
gallery. When eliminations commence, in those Pro classes in which it is possible we will post between pairings so keep hitting Refresh.
No webcast from us until tomorrow; Santa Pod Raceway are streaming this event on YouTube Live (Santa Pod TV) and Facebook (Santa Pod
Raceway); you can find a link to the YouTube on the Event Index. Please note that the YouTube page will not, of course, show
the live broadcast until it commences so just keep hitting Refresh on that page. Our next
Webster
Race Engineering/Nimbus Motorsport webcast will be from
the private test here at Santa Pod tomorrow and Wednesday.
The traditional raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is currently in Albania, joining a vegetarian cult
by the sound of it. Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, and
Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway.
Up for grabs today is the Bob's Photo Finish Award, posted by Eurodragster.com supporter Bob Roberts; £50 will be awarded to
each of the two racers involved in the closest race (in distance) of eliminations. Thanks again to Bob for his support.
Today's running order will be altered because we were unable to run any of yesterday's Sportsman eliminations. We will be starting
at 09:15 with Lucas Oil Junior Dragster, Modurstang Pro ET, and Good Vibration Motorsports/Przym Paintworks Super Pro ET then into Pro
eliminations. As soon as we get a running order which we can post here we will let you know. Until then,
tune in to Nitro FM and check out yesterday's report, pit notes and gallery, all of which are available via the Event Index.
