Very brief burnout for Midgo. 1.0973 to sixty, tyre started to turn at 300 feet then hourglassed, Midgo off the gas before the eighth 4.4757/135.32.

Allan Davies 7.0130/192.04 def. Steve Woollatt 11.8379/66.13

Allan away first 0.1610 to Steve's 0.2457, Steve with the better sixty 1.0565 to Allan's 1.2035 and was visibly pulling away, then the tyre started to shake and blackstripe then the engine note. Optical illusion but from here it looked like the bike stopped dead, Steve off the gas. 4.5952/165.36 to the eighth for Allan, took the long way round so a straight pass and he could be on for the six.

Comp Bike eliminations round 1

John Mclean Jr crossed the centre line in his race against Louis Davies. Looked from here like a good judgement call on John's part, the bike was going to the right right whatever he wanted, Louis was well out of the way so John let the bike do its thing and then gently pulled it back. Hensley Eugenia's bike didn't move on the green in his race with Margot Schmidt. Ian Burns' motor stopped anout forty feet out in his race with Valentijn Sandtke.

Nostalgia Fuel Funny Car qualifying session 2

Paul Harris 19.2989/33.68 DQ, bye; Tim Garlick 7.3370/129.90 bye

Paul to sixty in 1.1412 seconds then the right slick started to shake. The FC took a hard left, Paul off the gas and pulled it straight and gently sideswiped the guardrail about 200 feet out. Safety crews moved instantly but Paul A-OK and the crews quickly went back on station. I would imagine maybe flattened headers and a scrape on the paintwork. Planned half pass for Tim. 1.0361 to sixty, 4.1089/157.27 to the eighth and off it.

Qualifying after this session:

  1. Tim Garlick 7.3370/129.90

Neil off the gas at about 1000 feet. Steve to sixty in 1.0685, tyre started to turn and motor note started to rise about 200 feet out and Steve shut it off.

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

This morning we have high cloud with small patches of blue sky, still a crosswind but less fierce than yesterday.

Today's plan is 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. Julian is away at a VW event this weekend so Callum has stepped in to photograph for the weekend, welcome and thanks to him. Your Reporter is commentating as well as writing the race report so some of the reportage may be less detailed than usual but he will do his best.

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. Please note that the YouTube page will not, of course, show the live broadcast until it commences. In the same way that we would not expect Santa Pod to entertain queries or comments about our own webcasts, we won't respond to queries or comments about SPR's webcast. Those who queried or commented yesterday please note.

Today's running order remains as it was, with the exception of an additional qualifying session for Secret Worx Comp Eliminator. Those few classes which had qualifying sessions scheduled for this morning will still have them but all other classes are into eliminations, first up will be Modurstang Pro ET.

The traditional raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is tuned in from New Hampshire. Hope your weekend is going well Kathy. A big Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, and Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway.

We are due to start at 09:30 with E1 of Modurstang Pro ET; stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll be here with all the news. In the meantime why not listen to Nitro FM via the link on the Event Index and check out yesterday's gallery courtesy of Callum, Kirstie and DD.
