FIA/Motorsport UK Pro Modified qualifying after session 4

Mick Payne NTR v Walter-Strobel 7.0453/198.05, Mick rolled the beams, great run but no time, no chutes and handbraked it around the corner safely. Walle 1.0933 and 4.5755/158.07 incrementals and not in the ladder. Mick, intereviewed by Darryl Bradford said he was happy with his first run in the new car which had been a huge amount of work for the team.

Peter Kunc 6.2724/229.33 v Jon Webster 7.2945/230.12. Bump spot battle, with Jon on #16. Peter gave it his all but had to pedal it with tyre shake and on and off the throttle with flames from the nitrous engine, 1.0280 and 4.1376/179.24 to Jon's up in smoke 1.2348 60ft.

David Smith NTR v Wyane Nicholson 6.4028/217.01. Staging issue for David who rocked out of stage and shook the tyres after getting a red. 1.0637 and 4.2392/180.65 to half track. Bump spot confirmed as 6.2468 (Jon Webster), compared with a European record bump spot of 6.232!

Andy Robinson 14.5402/36.72 v Freddy Fagerström 6.1710/228.99. Burst panel explosion for Andy, 1.0360 to 60ft, Freddy on 1.0297 60ft and 4.0413/186.21. All Freddy's runs between 6.17 and 6.23, Freddy saying "Michael Gullqvist is my tuner and he is slowing me down, I think because I have just one engine." Pause for cleanup in Andy's lane.

Michel Tooren 6.0698/242.74 v Bruno Bader 5.9578/239.89. Bruno quickest in round so far and up from #10 to #8, 0.9843 and 3.9084/191.76, steered away from the centreline, Michel not recording a correct 60ft and 4.0312/192.07. Bruno said his gear ratio was not optimal, a problem with others too who are relying on spares.

Micke-Gullqvist 8.6840/96.31 v Marck-Harteveld 6.0028/237.47, great run for Marck 0.9796 and 3.9295/188.63, Micke pedaled it with no 60ft (reflector issue?) and and a slowing 4.4839/122.32 to half track.

Bobby-Wallace 8.8025/104.79 v Jimmy-Ålund Bobby had bad tyre shake after a 0.9961 60ft and did well not to cross over as he got close to the centre line before 330ft. Jimmy's car didn't go up on the two step and he lifted after a 1.1186 60ft and seeing Bobby's predicament.

Andres Arnover 5.9344/246.86 v Mats Eriksson 17.5612/42.69. Huge tyre shake for Mats after 1.0281 60ft and off the throttle, Andres 1.0060 and 3.9475/195.40, under 2s back half is a good stat.

David Vegter 5.8556/244.20 v Jan Ericsson 5.8694/247.85, David trouble free 0.9681 and 3.8417/193.72 with some excitement in the shutdown area to Jan who had some tyre shake and went 0.9803 and 3.8754/194.30 to half track. Great session!

The sky is completely clear and temperatures noticeably higher than this time yesterday, currently 19C and forecast to go u pto 30C, remarkable for September. The wind is a negligible 7 mph from the south west. Density altitude from airdensityonline.com, is currently 1500ft and is predicted to rise to almost 2700ft, with 87-93 grains of water, worse atmospheric conditions than yesterday. As yesterday, we will report on the KEG traction readings at the top of each day's page.

Yesterday was a long day, not finishing until 21:05 with Graham Syke's record beating steam bike run. There were a number of oil downs but fortunately no incidents apart from Kevin Kent's axle shearing Funny Car run which fortunately ended with only the broken axle and a little accompanying damage. Many others had late night thrashes to repair for today. But the heroes of the day were the Santa Pod track crew which proved their world class by working very late after a jet fuel spillage in the last but one run of the day. Take a bow guys, you are the best.

Thanks to those who have written in with comments, we heard from or saw Bob Roberts, Mike Kraaij, Herb Andrews and Geoff Stilwell. Your encouragement is most welcome. Hi also to sponsor John Tebenham who has spent the event relaxing in his hot tub, as his cars are both awaiting repair.

Today will be the held-over Q8 for Sportsman cars, followed by the first round of eliminations for them in the afternoon, with Pro sessions at 11:00 and 15:00. We'll be back at 09:30 with all the news.
