Good morning and welcome from Shakespeare County Raceway for our coverage of the Open Sport Nationals brought to you in association with American Car Imports.

The Webster Race Engineering/Nimbus Motorsport webcam is on-line and broadcasting a picture every sixty seconds. No live webcam this weekend as we are using mobile broadband via a 3G stick.

It's a beautiful day here at Shakespeare County Raceway, not a cloud in the sky and a gentle breeze which is in totally the opposite direction to yesterday's wind - that'll help with setting dial-ins won't it!

The traditional Raceday Good Morning to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH. Hope you are enjoying the coverage guys and we're looking forward to receiving your itinerary Ed. Hi also to Maikel Gloudemans who is tuned in from The Netherlands.

We are due to start at 10:00 with Sportsman ET. Stay tuned and as soon as the racing starts we'll bring you all the news.
