16:30

The rain continued and the track became waterlogged, despite the best attempts to sweep the excess water. So we have been called for the day.

We've posted Julian's gallery which you can see via the Event Index, and racing will resume tomorrow with the classes not yet qualified, and then into eliminations. Have a great evening, we'll post Diana's gallery later and see you in the morning.

Suzukiperformancespares.co.uk Comp Bike qualifying session 1

Jordan Kenway vs Louis Davies, nice 7.1572/186.48 run for Louis aka Goose. On hold for more sprinkles which are now increasing in volume.

15:00

Exhibition passes

Mona from Sweden is due to make a pair of passes to complete her licensing. Swedish mag Counter Steer carried an article on Mona in Swedish in December last year in which it is revealed her day job is a go-kart teacher at Gokart Stockholm and she is passionate about having more women competitors in motorsport. The car appeared behind the start line area, however Mona got towed back to the pits for a problem before firing up.

Robin Read vs Tony Betts. Robin due to make a full run, however was pushed back after the burnout with the engine stopped following a fuel line coming loose on the side of the supercharger (thanks to Callum Pudge for spotting). Tony, under the instruction of crew chief John Wright, made a burnout to check the systems are operating correctly and reversed behind the line. On hold again for dampness.

14:20

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 1

Ashley Cooper on a single, then the amazing Mark Sheridan 'Cuda built by Andy Robinson and tuned by Shane T remotely, gentle run to 9.79/145 a lot more to come there. Followed by Nick Hale with a 0.008 RT and Tony Higgs who blazed the tyres off the line. Then Damian Halliwell and Al Williamson. Drama for Al who crossed the centre line just before the 330ft reflector and nudged into the left wall after he attempted to correct it, Damian putting the anchors out rapidly to avoid a collision. The Howlin Hauler came to a rest just after half track and Al got out unhurt.

After the restart, Joe Stevens vs Andy Bond, Andy away first to 213.87mph, both runs totally straight. Then Al McSweeney on a solo to a great pass.

Later Damian Halliwell completed his run to get in the qualifying list.

Good morning and welcome to day one of our report from the STP Greenlight Nationals at Santa Pod Raceway. We have high clouds and it's dry with temperature of 19C rising to 23C. The track is fully prepped, Pro ET have been called into the pairing lanes and qualifying will begin in around 20 minutes' time.

There were a variety of racers making practise passes yesterday, together with licensing runs from Mona from Sweden who first went down the track in September 2019, we're not sure of her plans for completing licensing but will let you know the times and speeds. You can see galleries from yesterday courtesy of Julian and Diana via the Event Index page.

A big hello to all Eurodragsterholics. You will see from the news page that it's 9.50 Bike racer Richard Sawatzki's birthday today, also that he has achieved the incredible mark of 1000 runs in competition, have a great day Richard! Hi also to Dave Grabham who is recovering after a recent stroke and, according to wife Hilary, keen to get on with his rehab. Also hi to Straightliners boss Trevor Duckworth who is recovering from surgery and demonstrating his sense of humour in his social media posts.

There will be a live stream today and Nitro FM are live, so sit back and listen to the sounds until the racing goes live.
