Groaning noise and a puff of smoke from Becky's bike in the second half. Mark Smith left before the lights ran, from here that looked like a pretty good run unfortunately.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the Extreme Performance Bike Weekend brought to you in association with American Car Imports

The Webster Race Engineering/Lex Joon Racing USA Tour 2009 webcam is on-line and broadcasting a picture every sixty seconds.

It's a nice day here at Santa Pod. You can tell that it rained yesterday but the sun is out and the track crew are out doing their stuff. Trackside conditions right now are 12.5 C, 91% humidity and 29.56 inches of air.

We don't yet have a running order for today but on last year's form we will have an hour of Championship qualifying and then an hour of Straightliners and RWYB, back to Championship qualifying etc. We will be following the ACU classes, 9.50 Bike and National Association of Supertwins classes, plus any Straightliners news we are given. Unfortunately there will be no pit notes this weekend as neither Simon nor Kirstie could make it.

Stay tuned and we will bring you the numbers as soon as the bikes start to run.
