17:00 Change of plan, we are up against it time-wise so the eliminations will not be happening this afternoon. 16:40 Almost ready to go. We will be finishing qualifying cycle 4 and then we will run the first rounds of eliminations of Pro ET, Super Street Bike and Junior Dragster. 15:50 Outlaw Flat Four qualifying after session 4: We had a huge downpour after the first pair. Drama on the re-start as Adele Woodbridge's Beetle turned hard left and spun in front of Peter Shattock's car, hitting the guardrail rear end first. Peter was able to take avoiding action. The safety crews moved very quickly indeed and got to Adele before some of the bits landed, looked from here as if Peter ran to help too. Adele is A-OK as is Peter. Some recovery and stuff to clear up and then we'll be off again.
