Mark Todd up from #26 to #23 as Kieran Astley stayed in the nines without a turbo. Ron Bartlett with 8.1913/165.43 on a 8.16 dial for a new PB, well done Ron! Christophe Burfeindt up from #30 to #24. Steve Johnson went to the left after a 1.1090 60ft and idled down the track. Phil Toppin up from #10 to #4. Mark Turner supported by The Lime Trust who we welcome as visitors today.
Mark Flavell ran again against Andy 'Fadster Hadfield, Mark's son Andy told us "We have had niggling oil pressure issues recently and on run one we were down to 40psi oil pressure (should be double that). We realised the oil pump was knackered. So Dad borrowed Sid�s (Martyn Jones) van and drove all the way home to the north east to pick up the spare, turned around came back down and fitted it last night. The car is launching way too hard though, so we're going to put another 1/2 psi in the back tires to see if they will turn slightly and soften the launch a bit." It ran a great 7.0873/183.59 with a 1.0179 60ft (his PB from 2018 is 6.7729/198.96).
Fadster ran a 8.1182/147.61 to place him #29. David Smith lifted to 8.56/147 after lifting at 330ft. Then Martyn Jones went 6.2650/191.37 feathering the throttle (0.9741 to 60ft).
The top 12 are less than 0.01.

FIM-E Super Twin Top Fuel Bike qualifying session 1
Samu Kemppainen (Hammer) 13.9699/52.16 Samu is riding the Vesa Lipponen machine which is for sale, as a shop window for it. His first run was a 1.0295 60ft with tyre shake and went into tyre spin.
Chris van Nimmen (HD), Chris riding without wheelie bar side pieces, wheelspin on the launch, revs up then a bang, 1.3362 to 60ft. Chris stopped before the finish line. Pause for retrieval.
Martijn de Haas (PRP) 6.9600/202.57 v Marcus Christiansen (Speedys Racing). Marcus off the line first then tyre spin and a big explosion with the rear piston exiting the engine. Marcus's bike came to a halt after 330ft. Marcus got off the bike of his own accord and inspected the damage, and was subsequently taken to the medical centre for a checkup after being winded by the explosion. Meanwhile Martijn went to 60ft in 1.2585, and 4.5850/167.81 to half track, through the finish line on full power to go #1.

None of these bikes have run at SPR since 2019, Bertrand having some practise runs at Clastres and Tierp last summer.
Martin Bishop (Suzuki TL1000R) 11.3089/67.27 with 1.1462 to 60ft then the engine went sour and he shut it off.
Martin Newbury (Suzuki TL1000R) NTR v Bertrand Maurice (Suzuki TL1000R) 1.1610 to 60ft for Martin and then displaced the 1000ft blocks as Bertrand pushed back.
Martin Bishop's 11.3089/67.27 the sole qualifying run so far.

FIA Top Fuel qualifying session 1
Ida Zetterström 4.1427/222.37. Right hand cylinder off on the launch then a flash of fire after the eighth. 0.8759 to 60ft and 3.1670/256.63 to the eighth, a strong start but we fear some engine damage for the team to attend to. Despite the cylinder out, Ida did a great job of keeping the car straight.
Antti Horto NTR vs Susanne Callin 4.3884/183.57 Welcome to former Joe Amato crewman Jimmy Walsh helping on Antti's car. Susanne staging slightly to the right side of her lane. Susanne left whilst Antti didn't move, Susanne moving slightly to the left but she kept on it, 0.8442 to 60ft and 3.2077/215.84 to the eighth, then an explosion and track inspection.
As Antti had not taken the green he was given an opportunity to restart.
Antti refuelled and restarted, straight into stage, no burnout, and the inevitable tyre spin on the launch 1.3252 to 60ft and 13.4771/58.21 to 1000ft. No damage though.

Bruno Bader ('63 Corvette) 7.5857/145.32 spun tyres (a new pair we understand from Dick Koster) on start then back on it for a while, 1.2569 to 60ft and 4.7477/174.40 to the eighth.

Michel Tooren (Cuda) 12.9738/57.10 vs Kev Slyfield (Thunderbird) NTR, Kev's car kept through stage at which point Michel launched to a 0.9509 and the car made a move to the right alongside Kev idling down the track, Michel lifted.
Jon Webster (Mustang) shut off vs Nick Davies (Firebird) 11.8473/86.03, Jon pushed back after the burnout with a problem. Nick lined up perfectly in his burnout tracks, shake off the line to 1.0577 at 60ft and then a bang as the burst panel went and the engine shut off.
Bobby Wallace (Camaro) shut off vs John Tebenham ('53 Corvette) 6.2064/234.83 Bobby shut off after the burnout for a leak, JT had a gentle 1.0846 launch then went straight to 4.1063/184.35 down track, nice easy pass to go #2. Pause for clean up.
Marck Harteveld (Superbird) NTR v Jean Dulamon (Camaro) NTR Marck back for the first time since 2019. Marck rolled through stage before the tree ran, causing Jean to leave in reaction. Marck slowed as Jean went around his lane with tyre shake, getting close to the centre line.

Fuel Funny Cars qualifying session 1
Problems for Steve Ashdown's Shockwave team getting the Undertaker FC fired up, so a single for Jason Phelps in Gladiator, throttle stop came off as he burned out but caught it in time and blipped the throttle before the motor zinged. Up in smoke on the launch, 1.9555 to 60ft, Jason idled down the track, the car sounded great but clutch timers clearly came in fully on the launch.
The Undertaker team, fuel system fixed, burned out followed by Kevin Kent in West 10/GSI Insurance car in the left (Kestrel) lane. Kevin with 0.9792 and 3.6557/198.74 to the eighth, Steve with 1.0124 to 60ft and 3.8355/165.11 to the eighth with cylinders out along the way.

Peter Nee Super Pro ET qualifying session 6
Jens Konnecke ran his first seven, 7.9482/170.44, well done Jens and team! More breakouts for Thomas Haas and Dave Russell, Kie Astley, after problems with a boost controller, has bypassed his turbo so running motor only, 9.431/141.56 vs Steve Johnson who had a wiggle at the top end to 7.822/118.05 (4.513/158.46 to the eighth). Lee Darby up from #21 to #18, running without nitrous so far this event.
Andy Hadfield pushed back after the burnout, having had new wheelie bar brackets installed yesterday evening. Ashley Bell got close to the centre line, followed by John Tebenham back in the eights with the Crew Killer 8.937/148.60, still not having run the magic 150. Nick Good ran +0.008 but stayed in #5. 8.20/159 for Brian Pateman, huge breakout but great run. Andy Hadfield launched straight, a panel came off the car and the car bounced around, Fadster getting it under control before it went past the point of no return, definitely another feast for the photographers.
Mark Flavell's FC back on track again after a great 7.15 yesterday, alongside Billy Gane. Another big wheelie for Mark and 7.17/182 and Billy up from #17 to #5 with +0.003. Now top 12 less than +0.01! Jack Brewster tried to fight the car's tendency to go left but lifted by half track to 11.081/76. Then Martyn Jones with the quickest car in the class, sounding like the much-missed TMDs, #28 to #25 for him.

Good morning and welcome to day 2 of our coverage of the FIA/FIM-E Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway. It's a lovely morning with wispy clouds in a mainly sunny sky, temperature is 14C expected to rise to 20C, wind still quite brisk but now from the north west, i.e. cross track. Density altitude has improved with readings of sea level at 10am rising to 640ft by mid afternoon, this information available on airdensityonline.com.
Today's action will be the first qualifying round of FIA/FIM-E competition in some 32 months, this will commence at 11:00 preceded by session 6 of sportsman qualifying. The fields in sportsman qualifying are already very tight, so we will see if they are the tightest fields we have ever seen in Super Pro ET, Pro ET and Junior Dragster.
Welcome to Eurodragsterholics, we had a great response to our photo of Perfect ET Award sponsor Andy 'Fadster' Hadfield with all four wheels off the ground, see our galleries from Julian and Diana for more great shots in the pits and on track. Greetings to all those who would like to be here but can't due to unforseeen circumstances. Sadly this includes the Nostalgia Funny Cars which have been affected by parts shortages (Apache), a series of broken tow vehicles (Venom) and loss of a driver (Dirty Deeds), we miss you guys and hope to see the class back stronger than ever at Dragstalgia. On the flip side, all overseas competitors have made it to the track despite the draconian measures in customs due to carnet rules, we hope that there will be some relief in this situation soon.
Happy Birthday for today to Junior Dragster dad and Supercharged Outlaw racer Mick Checkett, also to photographer Colin Donisthorpe and from France Super Pro ET racer Clement Dubois who we hope to see later in the year, we hope you all have a great day. Thanks to Syd McDonald for providing nutrition throughout the weekend, and to those who have provided snacks.
Wherever you are enjoy the day, qualifying starts at 09:30.
