Simon has posted a large set of pit notes to keep you going until tomorrow morning. You can check those out via the Event Index.

Courtesy of Tomas Pettersson we also have tomorrow's provisional running order which can also be checked out via the Event Index. Note that all classes Pro and Sportsman are included; the rumour that tomorrow was Pro-only was just that, a rumour.

We will be back in the morning with all the news from eliminations. As you know Your Reporter does not do weather forecasts but in these circumstances I make an exception and I'm told that it is going to be OK tomorrow. If you're anywhere near Tierp Arena then make sure that you come along; if not then tune back to Eurodragster.com for updates.

12:30

We have been called for the day due to the diabolical weather conditions.

Stay tuned as Simon is working on a tranche of pit notes.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Tierp Internationals brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

Having said that,it appears that it's not our coverage of the Tierp Internationals as yesterday it was open season on screen grabbing our hard work and posting it on bloody Facebook with no permission and no credit, and the thieves were quite happy to bask in the glow of adulation from thickies.

Our sponsor John Woolfe Racing pay us a lot of money for their banner and name on our Event Coverage and they have the right to expect our race reports to be read in situ with their banner at the top of the page. Secondly Simon, Lena, Patrik and Your Reporter at this event, and Kirstie, Julian and Grace at other events, do not work ourselves stupid doing sixteen- and seventeen-hour days for others to come along and steal that work and either not say where they got it or try to pass it off as their own.

Your Reporter is at the end of his tether with thieves on Facebook and YouTube and elsewhere and is very tempted to throw a huge strop and say "That's it, I am not doing this any more" but the thought of the mawkish virtue signalling which would ensue on FB is almost as bad as that of the continual theft.

So here's the deal: stop stealing our work. If you stole our work without permission on Thursday or yesterday, remove it now. Final warning. We are not going to negotiate, we are not going to argue, we are not going to reply to E-Mails about it. We don't care who you are or who you think you are. Just stop stealing our work and we'll all get on a lot better. Keep it up and you will find that this is not a drill.

For those more interested in drag racing than in trying to make themselves look good, it is unfortunately chucking it down with rain here at Tierp Arena. This was not unexpected as the authorities had been putting out severe weather warnings. All we can do is to sit it out. The running order is currently being rewritten to include 100 metres butterfly, 50 metres backstroke and 50 metres freestyle.

Stay tuned and when things improve we will let you know. In the meantime, following an excellent thought from Kirstie, here's a link for the Facebook thieves. Feel free to copy whatever you like from that page and wallow in the appreciation.
