Look closely at the large image - those streaks are the hailstones which brought today to an early close! |

Known to everyone in Race Control simply as JC, this guy puts in laps at every Run What You Brung and Test Day. |

Jerry Smith brought along his very tidy Pro ET Plymouth Roadrunner for some pre-Thunderball practice and pulled a 0.004 reaction time on one run. |

|
John Morris was another Pro ET racer shaking down new machinery as he débuted his Ford Probe. |
|
Kev Charman's new Comp Bike features the ex-Jones and Friend chassis and a Ken Cooper nitrous motor. A 9.422/139.66 was his first run. |
|
|
Matthew Seamarks ran ten-second passes in his Junior Modified Dragster. We're not jealous of the Curry Garden sponsorship, honest! |
|
Nick Davies concluded with an 8.365/123.90 half pass, the Havoc altered launching wheels-up on every run. |
|
|
Nigel Payne made one pass in the Super Modified Corvette, his chassis twisting hard on the launch. |

Another no-name rider carrying the front end nicely through sixty feet... |
|
...and our no-name hero from yesterday returns, yesterday's wheelies replaced by massive tyre spin today! |
|
|
Tim Blakemore wanted to test whether he had found last weekend's launch problem. A powerful burnout followed by a tyre-smoking launch suggested plenty of power. |
|
Wayne Bradley was again testing again on his Super Street bike, his best pass an 8.663 at a big 181.47. |
|
|
Wendy Clutterbuck made two straight and clean passes on her Supertwin Top Fuel bike. |
