Exhibition session 1

Super Modified running exhibition this weekend as two of the three racers have cancelled, Rob Elsom the last man standing followed VW Pro and smashed his Personal Best into next week with an 8.0380/172.38. Well done Rob, Sharon and the team!

Harry Gibson next up in the Santa Pod Junior Funny Car, 8.6193/77.35.

Wayne Allman followed in his wild blown-alcohol VW split window pick-up, this run scheduled for a half pass. Nice pass, 1.3760 to sixty, 3.4484 to 330 feet and off the throttle just before the eighth and chutes out. 11.8624/49.92 at the stripe.

Next up was Andy Raw in his VW Beetle Funny Car. Great to see Andy back after his accident last year. Great run! 8.3071/136.17, looked from here as if something broke at about 1000 feet as the car started making hard moves left and right.

Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of Bug Jam brought to you in association with Alamo Rent-A-Car.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam on-line and broadcasting live video and track commentary / Nitro FM stream as long as the track is open. After some problems earlier we are running on UStream for a couple of hours more, we're sure that you can live with the ads for a short while and we will move back to the Doyousee.me service when we get the chance.

Spencer has already posted one set of pit notes which you can check out via the Event Index page. He is currently working on a second set which we will post as soon as possible - as you may have heard Your Reporter is also commentating so it's a case of finding the time.

Amongst the highlights of this morning's Run What You Brung were a 7.905/170.46 by Outlaw Anglia racer Colin Millar, an 8.461/167.93 by Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator racer Stuart Williams, and an 8.6375/158.00 by Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator racer Mats Andersson. Eric Teboul unsurprisingly holds Low ET so far with a 5.579/216.90 on his Rocket Bike, followed by Martin Hill with a 5.963/260.45 in the Fireforce 3 Jet FC and Julian Webb with a 6.837/230.09 in the Split Second Jet Dragster.

Qualifying starts very shortly so stay tuned and we'll start to bring you the news.
