It looked promising for a moment there but now it has started to rain again so we have been called. The track crew have been working non-stop since the 13:15 interruption but it is now raining heavily and Race Director Carole Ismail has called a halt.

Stay tuned and we will bring you Julian's gallery although we need to eat first so it may be a while.

16:10

The track is pretty much there and we have just called Pro Modified and various Sportsman classes.

In the meantime Simon has posted a set of pit notes which you can check out via the Event Index.

Top Fuel Dragster licencing

Noah Stutz 4.4758/251.69 bye

A run over 240 mph required to gain the licence. Licence gained I'd say! 0.8814 to sixty, a brief pedal for shake about 200 feet out, looked like a cylinder out but then cleared, certainly the car went straight down the middle of its lane this time. 3.5072/218.82 at the eighth. Well done Noah, Robin, Urs and the guys!

10:30

Nostalgia Fuel Altered Association session 3

Not entirely sure how this is working, we have two cars but the running order has E1 and a final. So we'll just say what we see for now.

Joe Bond shut off, Nick Davies shut off

Bad misfire for Nick during his burnout, the motor really stuttering. Same sort of sound as a motor makes when the plug leads are on the wrong cylinders but probably not as simple as that. Both cars shut off on the way back from their burnouts as we had spots of rain in the air.

10:25

MSA Pro Modified eliminations round 1

Marcus Hilt 7.5043/162.51 def. Rick Garrett 8.5235/111.24

Daylight hleshot for Marcus 0.0810 to 0.7056. Marcus with the better sixty 1.0387 to 1.0670, the better eighth 4.5537/138.84 to Rick's 4.8872/133.66 already shut off by that point. Marcus off it in the second eighth.

Roger Moore 6.7040/208.18 def. Graham Ellis 7.2181/202.43

Big holeshot for Roger 0.0744 to 0.3167. 1.0869 to sixty for Roger to Graham's 1.1121, Graham hit shake about 120 feet out and the Bird started to head for the centre line, pedalled and back on it. 4.3557/167.0 to the eighth for Roger, then smoke from the motor in the second hald, looked to shut it off before the stripe. 4.7241/140.38 to the eighth for Graham, still some moves left and right in the second half.

Andy Frost 6.5697/224.29 bye, Steve Hall shut off

Steve didn't get drive for the burnout and eventually shut it off. Frosty took the bye, very nice-looking run. 1.1276 to sixty and 4.3663/174.32 at the eighth, a little swaying from the Vauxhall but nothing serious.

Bruno Bader 6.2034/223.37 def. Kev Slyfield 7.8493/136.05

Kev away first 0.1391 to 0.2013, the better sixty for Bruno 1.0392 to 1.0809. Bruno's tyres shook passing the Tree but he stayed with it. Kev's Coupe started to drift left and he had to pedal, I think I heard a pedal from Bruno also. 4.0472/181.79 to the eighth for Bruno, 4.7830/138.13 for Kev.

Eurodragster.com sponsor Andy Robinson and first alternate Jean Dulamon paired up for a match race out of session. Nice 0.9734 to sixty for Andy, 6.4041/228.18 at the stripe with some smoke from the motor towards the end. 8.4750/146.71 for Jean.

On that subject a big Happy Birthday to Mark Balzaretti, aka Bowser, of Andy Robinson's Pro Mod team. Have a great day Bowser.

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod Raceway for our coverage of the SPRC Summernationals brought to you in association with Alamo Rent-A-Car.

Right now we have got a major problem with the Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam PC. It appears to have a hard disk problem. We are working hard on it but if the PC has failed then there won't be a webcast as a spare Tower PC is not a luxury we enjoy. Stay tuned and when there is some news about the webcast we'll bring it to you.

The traditional Raceday Hello to our US Correspondents Ed O'Connell and Kathy Hileman who are tuned in from Rye, NH. Hope you are enjoying the coverage guys and we hope you have a good day at your own track Ed. Good Morning and Get Well Soon to Dave Buckland of the Heaven and Hell Pro ET team who is at home rather than here crewing.

We are due to start at 09:00 with qualifying in VW Pro, Super Gas, Sportsman ET, Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator, Supertwin ET and Junior Drag Bike and then into eliminations. Stay tuned and as soon as the wheels start turning or as soon as there is news about the webcam PC then we will be back.
