Stay tuned for more news from Gardermoen. 14:15 A drivers' meeting is taking place at the moment, says Åsa. It is still raining but there are clear skies to the south and according to every forecast it is going to clear up. NDRG expect to be able to run one qualifying session run this evening, they can run until 22:00 but realistically 20:00 to 21:00 is the deadline since it gets too damp after that anyway. 13:55 The forecast is that it will stop raining in a hour, says Åsa. Looks a bit brighter now but still raining. 10:30 Speedgroup Co-ordinator Åsa Kinnemar writes that it has been raining at Gardermoen this morning but that the forecast is for the rain to stop by lunchtime. This afternoon, this evening and tomorrow are looking good at present. Stay tuned and we will bring you further updates as we receive them. Thanks to Norsk Dragracing Gardermoen for their help in getting updates to us. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
