It's a beautiful day here, not a cloud in the sky and already mild. Even discounting the rain it felt a bit autumnal yesterday but not so today. Quite an busy running order today. We start with E1s of Junior Dragster and Stock/Super Stock then we have no less than three Pro sessions at 09:50, 12:50 and 16:50 (of which Top Fuel are contesting the first and last) with Sportsman eliminations interspersed. You can find the running order on the Event Index courtesy of Marie Selander. Today's plan is to post round winners in Sportsman classes - ladders will be found at right - and the usual full commentaries and standings in Pro qualifying. As ever we will do our best to update between pairs during Pro qualifying so keep hitting Refresh... you probably noticed that this worked nicely yesterday; this is mainly due to the fact that timekeepers Lotta, Oscar, Maja and Petteri have been brilliant, as have all of the officials here in Race Control and elsewhere. There will be a gallery courtesy of Julian at the end of the day. Courtesy of Nitrozplay there is a free webcast which commences at 09:00 European/08:00 UK, you can find the link on the Event Index. Nitroz are also offering an SMS alert service which will send you a text message when your selected classes run. A weekend's worth of alerts costs 69 SEK per class and you can sign up at web.nitroz.se/notes. A big Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Ivar Kolberg tuned in from Norway, Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto tuned in from Finland, Bob Roberts tuned in from England and Benni Voss tuned in from Germany. A special Hello to our Eurodragster.com colleagues Kirstie and Simon back in the UK. Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you the news. In the meantime why not check out yesterday's gallery which comes courtesy of Julian. Reports and pictures ©Eurodragster.com |
