Fuel Funny Car session 4

Kevin Kent 4.3518/273.43 def. Jason Phelps 14.4732/49.99

Great pass for Kevin, away first 0.1076 RT to Jason's 0.1674, then 0.9195 to 60ft and 3.4742/241.37 to the eighth for Kevin on a nice straight pass. Jason's car spun the tyres on the launch, 1.2858 to 60ft and he lifted. Some smoke from the far end and Kevin's car was stranded on track. Pause to recover Kevin's car.

16:45

Top Fuel session 3

Susanne Callin vs Ida Zetterström, no times recorded.

Unfortunately the timing system locked after the RTs. Susanne did a full pass, blacklined the track and you can see after the eighth the car went towards the centre line, but she kept on the throttle. Ida's clutch engaged but she lifted after 60ft.

16:30

JKE Race Works 8.50 Bike qualifying session 5

Dan De'ath up from #5 to #2. Alex Gordon came to a halt at 1000ft and towed down track by the quad bike. Stacey Reed 8.1632/171.11, not the naughtiest after Dan De'ath's earlier seven. Another problem for Craig Wright, his previous non-start down to a broken jubilee clip, but Craig is in the ladder.Jonny Hines with a 8.0637/171.10 another contender for the £200 naughtiness award.

Modurstang Pro ET qualifying session 4

Simon Innes up from #9 to #4. Dave Rudd up from #20 to #12. Warren Watts up from #17 to #9. Ronnie Mercer up one spot to #23. Pause for cleanup.

On the restart, good to see Mason Griffiths back after installing a replacement flex plate, ran 9.0523/144.75 to breakout so it must be working fine. Will Clark up from #19 to #16. Dave Cherrett up from #24 to #21. Harley-Jay Darby back after lifting and thus avoiding an engine failure yesterday, up from #29 to #22. Marc Huxley up from #6 to #3. Simon Fulton up from #30 to #24, the Falcon now a consistent eight second runner.

Greetings and commiserations to Tessa Jaspert and Vic Parsons, on the entry list but unable to attend.

Good morning and welcome to day 2 of our coverage of the Festival of Power from Santa Pod Raceway. The weather is again good, sunny with a few high clouds and 10C with wind from the south at 11mph. Forecast temperatures are 16C. The density altitude supplied by airdensityonline.com is currently 264ft below sea level, and forecast to rise to around 600ft which is good, also grains of water are averaging 50-58 which is also excellent.

Yesterday we had three qualifying sessions for sportsman classes, all completed by the 20:00 finish time, well done to the marshals and track crew for getting everyone down the track so efficiently and to racers for avoiding the problems that racing conditions can throw at them. We had some personal bests, but run of the day for many was by Wayne Nicholson in his Pro Mod Corvette which went down in 5.88s at 243mph showing his setup is one that can run with the best. We had a great display by the exhibition vehicles too, with Top Fuel, Fuel Funny Car and Nostalgia Funny Cars all flexing their muscles in their first runs of the year.

Today we have two qualifying sessions and more exhibitions planned with eliminations from 18:00, so all have a great and safe day. Greetings to Eurodragsterholics, our buddy Remco Scheelings has informed us of more Top Fuel entrants for the Main Event which we will report in our news update on Tuesday. Also we wish Wild Bunch racer Bob Hawkins a very Happy Birthday, we will be seeing Bob in action in his nitro slingshot next weekend at the Nostalgia Nationals. Happy Birthday to Perfect ET Award sponsor Andy Hadfield who will be here next weekend in Twister with the Supercharged Outlaws. But for now keep an eye on our report for all the action which starts at 09:30.
