Super Comp eliminations round 1:

Matt Eley is OK after crashing the Risky Trip Pop. The car pulled an nicely-controlled wheelstand off the line but then got out of shape at about 500 feet, turning hard right and then digging in as Matt tried to get it straight, hard left and onto its side and into the guardrail, sliding to a stop at the finish line. Eurodragster.com sponsor Chris Isaacs builds a strong race car and Matt was quickly out and into the clutches of the safety team who were as ever there before the car stopped.

Brian Pateman is 2009 UK National Super Comp Champion, congratulations Brian!

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the UK National Finals 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 beautiful morning here at Santa Pod. Not a cloud in the sky and the sun rising, it's going to be a fantastic day's racing and it's not too late to get in your car and get here. With a number of the UK National Champions yet to be decided we are on for a classic day.

There will be no pit notes today as Simon will be wearing his points co-ordinator hat for the day, giving us real-time updates on who has won which Championship. Obviously all of these will be suject to official ratification.

The traditional raceday Hello to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from the Institute of Advanced Leisure Studies in Rye, NH, hopefully resting after a couple of busy weekends. Hope you are OK and enjoying the coverage guys. Thanks also to everyone who got in touch yesterday to comment on the commentary. Working with such a good guy as Colin Theobald makes it very easy so the credit is all Colin's. Hello also to our good friend Gittli Koller who is tuned in to see how her Top Methanol friends are getting on, and also to Stephen Moon who kindly got in touch with some information which I didn't actually see until I logged in to my E-Mail last night. The thought was there though Stephen and thanks very much indeed. Finally Hello to Herb Andrews who is tuned in from Singapore and who discovered yesterday what we knew anyway, that drag racing is better than Formula 1.

Racing starts at 9:00 with Pro ET eliminations and possibly today's first Champion crowned so stay tuned and when the motors start then so will we.
