Last night's sunset was like something out of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

Janne Ahonen planning to sweep all before him in Top Fuel Dragster.

It's great to see Simo Patoharju back at the track, he is now working on Janne Ahonen's team with a lot of the Mad Bomber crew.

If I just say "Mark Pointer"...

Two of our Sportsman racers from the Continent, I'd have either one of these beautiful cars thank you.

Halvor Overby's Opel Kapitan will be adding even more style to Super Street this weekend.

Buy a new Pro Stock, take it to the track, and then take it all to bits. Hopefully there won't be a small piece of bakelite left over when it's put back together.

Sponsor ESAB now has more prominence on Leif Andréasson's Top Methanol FC.

Fellow TMFC racer Jarmo Kuutniemi appears to have set up his pit in the open air.

Have you ever seen a centre-drive Jet Funny Car naked?

Super Pro ET racer John Atkinson on the way to scrutineering.

Neil Hunter's Pro ET Capri looks gorgeous in the sunshine.

Early- and late-model Mustangs waiting for Vic Amato and Nigel Holland to take them to scrutineering.

Collin and Stuart Morrice are collecting for Diabetes UK this weekend, if you come to the track then please bring money.

Kathy (right) and Carole are already working hard in Signing On.

Ashley Bell's Super Pro ET Cobra is now sporting this very nice shade of blue which he tells us came from two half cans of paint he had lying around which he mixed together. So we call the shade Ashley Blue.

US muscle from various eras: Chris Orthodoxou's Viper, Mick Payne's Coronet, and John Atkinson's Mustang.

The Pro Mod on the left for my birthday please, and the Pro Mod on the right for Christmas.

Dave Wilson was at pains to point out to us how clean his Top Methanol Dragster trailer was after he spent several hours washing it.

The scrutineering queue at 3:15 this afternoon.

We can stop worrying now...

The candidates for presenter of this year's TV coverage of the European Championships.

Julian (left) and Nigel of Nitro FM ready to broadcast from 6:00 pm and through the weekend.

Chief Marshal Steve Horn was up on the gantry at 8:00 this morning and took this picture of part of the Pro pits. The area is a lot more full now.
