Good to see Guido Uhlir back on track after converter problems yesterday. Car got very close to the centre line but Guido feathered the throttle and pulled it away.

Nice driving by Matthew Seamarks as his 100e got out of shape at half track. Off the throttle and got it settled.

Martin Hill followed Super Pro ET with a 5.9159/271.37 in the Fireforce 3 Jet FC. 4.0712/202.39 at the eighth.

Super Comp qualifying session 5

Another nice RT for Pete Cresswell, 0.0052. Thomas Margesson goes right side and promptly moves up the ladder, #17 to #12. Next up, the wildest ride I think I have ever seen for Richie Webb in his Beetle, the car was going left and right all the way and made a particularly violent left move at about 1000 feet. Richie was off the gas and had the chute out - and bear in mind that he would have to have taken a hand off the wheel to do so. A gutsy drive.

Paul Przybyl up from #18 to #3 +0.0061 on dial-in, in the other lane Martyn Jones broke out some with a 5.9758 on a 6.00 dial-in. Next pair and Simon Gough punted Paul down a place with a perfect run +0.0004 on dial-in good for #2 spot, well done Simon and The Package! Fourth perfect ET of the day and our third in Super Pro ET. Peter Lane to the start line for the first time with his new Chevy, 9.638 on an 8.98 dial-in, nice work Peter, Colin and team! Scott Hauser up from #14 to #11, in the other lane good to see Roger out on the start line with the S&K Racing team, can't remember seeing an amble for a while.

Pro ET qualifying session 5

Steve Bowen up from #24 to #16 first pair, took the long way round again and at one point looked as if he was going to visit Mike Lacey in the other lane. Had a good hold of it though. Tim Stanbury next up the ladder, #24 to #17 next pair. Another very close run for #1 qualifier Glenn Pallant, +0.0087 on dial-in this time. Next pair and a perfect 0.0003 RT for Dan Williams, well done Dan! Rhiannon Bellenie up from #15 to #3, +0.0099 on dial-in. Good to see John Dalrymple back after his earlier woes. Jon Turner up from #14 to #8 in the last pair of the session.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 4

Butch Wilkins' van took a step to the right off the line, shut off and idled down the track. Alex McIntosh improved but stayed third. Martin Smith next into the sevens next pair. Another fantastic pass for Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster, consolidated his #2 spot. Dave Murdoch up from #11 to #7 next pair, maybe a PB, if so then well done Davey! Stu Williams up from #8 to #4 in the last pair, some smoke from the motor in the last few feet but track checked and all OK.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 3

Gutsy drive by Dave Murdoch in the first pair. Improvement for Alex McIntosh good for #2, in the other lane Nigel Hale's big pick-up moved a few feet and then stopped. It took six people to push back... in a similar situation last week word came over the track radio "We're gonna need a bigger quad". Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster into #1 spot a couple of runs later... which lasted a few seconds as Mark Todd blew away his Personal Best, took over #1 spot and did the first half of an ET record at 7.406, well done Mark!

Surprise appearance by Matthew Seamarks who announced on Facebook that he was quitting, just goes to show how much stuff posted on FB turns out to be incorrect. Breakout to open Matt's account but a baseline to work from.

Super Comp qualifying session 3

Spectacular but very naughty 8.084 by Richie Webb in his wild Beetle. Another small breakout for Tom Margesson in the other lane. Improvement for Pete Cresswell but stayed in #5 at that point. Fantastic run by Rene Kloss, perfect 8.9001 for #1 spot, well done Rene and Paul Marston Racing! Next pair and Dave Day moved up from #12 to #6, followed up the ladder by Conrad Stanley #17 to #12. Last run and Neil Hunter moved out of stage before the lights ran.

Super Gas qualifying session 2

Drama in the first pair as Stu Doignie's Vauxhall pulled the usual wheelie and a wide trail of fluid appeared from under the car, when the front end came down the front right wheel flapped about crazily, from here it looked like the suspension had given way. Whatever the failure, Stu kept a good hold of the car and had it safely stopped not far past the Tree as the start line crew sprinted to his aid. On the restart Bob Molden took over the lead from #4 spot.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 2

Dave Murdoch's Willys jumped out of stage in the first pair. Fluid found in Nick Hale's lane at the far end of the shutdown area so a hold for clean-up. On the restart Martin Smith up from #4 to #2. Next pair Alex McIntosh into the sevens and into #1 spot. Andy Bond and Mark Todd pushed back from stage as the timing system threw a brief wobbler, Steve Neimantas backing his Bentley out of the way almost reversed it into one of the tractors. On the restart Mark Todd took over #1 spot. Steve Neimantas next into the sevens, his pass good for #2 spot at that point. Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster up into #4 spot with the last run of the session.

Super Comp qualifying session 2

Paul Brown up from #5 to #2 and Collin Morrice in at #3 in the first pair. Next pair and Conrad Stanley (see, I get stuff right occasionally) looked to lose fire on the way back from his burnout, start line crew headed to his aid by which time he was no the move again. Pete Creswell up from #4 to #3 next pair, another breakout for Thomas Margesson in Andy Williams' rail but less than last time out. Rene Kloss accompanied by Andrea this time, maybe she had a lay-in last round. Great pair with Rene up from #15 to #7 even though the rail was skating about its lane some, but in the other lane Jon Morton took over #1 spot from #12 +0.0028 on index. Brian Pateman's first run in this class today and straight in at #3.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 2

The tecchies having had a stern word with the timing system we continued with Super Pro ET. Great to see our good buddy and legendary Track Announcer Benni Voss out there photographing with his permanent trackside smile. Eurodragster.com sponsor and Eurodragster.com / Gold RV Perfect ET Award winner Pete Walters sat this one out and was an interested spectator at trackside. Ian Powell first to make a move up the ladder, #15 to #7 in the second pair. Simon Gough up from #24 to #14 next pair, a good pairing to watch with Brian Pateman's classic Firebird against Simon's modern-day Camaro. Brad Jackson next up the ladder, big move from #25 to #5 - half way through session two and already the top seventeen are separated by 0.080. First run of the season I believe for Dave Townsend, in at #21. Our first on-track look at Peter Lane's new Chevy, a very nice-looking piece of kit and its appearance this weekend was in part courtesy of a garage break-in, Simon will have that story for you. Nice easy first pass. Gordon Northway's first appearence in a long while, Gordon was hoping that his battery would last long enough to get the car to the line, which it did. Cobwebs and collywobbles nicely cleared, breakout for Rainier van Schelt in the other lane. Very unusual left-lane outing for Scott Hauser, good for two places from #20 to #18. Next pair and a great run for Billy Gane, up from #19 to #2 and +0.014 on dial-in. Big puff of smoke from Rick Cooke's motor in the last pair, hopefuly all OK.

Pro ET qualifying session 2

Great pair to start the session, Keith Herbert up from #11 to #1 and Geoff Cowley up from #18 to #8. The usual first gentle run up the track for Gino Bernadine, John Dalrymple in at #18 next pair. Great run for Steve Bown in the Mitsubishi, all over his lane but an 8.9039 on a 9.0 dial-in. Next pair and Laura Baynton up into #1 from #18, +0.0017 on dial-in. Huge bouncy wheelie for Eurodragster.com sponsor Nic Williams, shut it off as the car got close to the guardrail. Bob Molden up from #27 to #10 next pair. Next pair and Glenn Pallant up into #2 +0.0048 on dial-in. One place up for Liz Malcolm, #4 to #3. #24 to #7 for Mike Lacey next pair... this is what I love about Pro ET qualifying, the way it starts to tighten up so quickly. Nice pairing next with Sean Law up from #9 to #3 and a big move for Rhiannon Bellenie, #21 to #10 in the motorbike engine-powered rail. #28 to #14 for Ethan Lisle in the classic Comet.

Lucas Oil Junior Dragster qualifying session 2

Squeaker for Thomas Cook-Abbot in the second pair, -0.006 red, in the other lane Paige Wheeler moved up from #16 to #5. Numbers one and two, Morgan Wilson and Billy Ringer, next pair but no changes. Paired reds for Saskia Fensome Jell and Matthew Dowdy. Next pair and a move up the ladder for Thaliah Gibb, #9 to #2, 0.0064 off the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award. First run of the event for Roman Sixta Jr, in at #10 moving Kaitlan Deevey down from #12 to #13 in the process. Big improvement for Tyler Ashdown, up from #17 to #3 at 0.0200... I must ask dad Steve what happened to my 'Little Thug' t-shirt. First run of the event for Billy Everitt, red light, in the other lane Jordan Payne moved up from #17 to #12.

Super Comp qualifying session 1

Great run for Stu Doignie to open the session and take #1 at that point, reaping the benefit of testing yesterday. Rene Kloss a very welcome guest in the dragster now owned by Paul Marston Racing, breakout for his first pass of the weekend. Neil Hunter launched and then backed off it, crew looked mystified. Super Comp 1059 closed the session alongside Jeremy Price, unless my eyes deceived me that was Conrad Stanley in what looked like Paul Brown's previous dragster.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 1

Steve Neimantas in testing yesterday had a dodgy moment as the Bentley tried to write his name on the track, things particularly hairy when it tried to cross the T and took out the 330 foot reflector. Nice straight run this time but a big puff of smoke from the motor at each gear shift. Hopefully nothing untoward. Mark Todd's tyres were blackstriping for a couple of hundred feet then the GTO twitched and Mark pedalled, a couple of pedals further aong the track also. Great run for Gary Gooding to take #1 spot at that point, next up was Stu Williams who tested yesterday, would that give him an advantage? No was the answer, but all eyes on Matt Smith in the other lane as the Escort pulled a sizeable wheelie, came down and then pulled another wheelie, black smoke from the motor, a move to the right but kept a hold of it.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 1

Rainier van Schelt has a good go at Burnout Of The Event and it's only day one. Good to see Mick Howling back on the track where he belongs, this time at the wheel of the Whoopass Monza. Congratulations to Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters on a perfect 8.5003 on an 8.50-dial in for #1 spot and also the £50 Eurodragster.com / Gold RV Perfect ET Award, Derek and Fiona Flynn of Gold RV of course also support Pete. The Perfect ET Award goes to Super Pro ET for the second event running. 6.799 break-out on a 6.80 dial-in for Marck Harteveld but there was a blatant Blue Line violation by his crew so that run will be DQ'd anyway. Next pair and Jayne Kay shut off on the way back from her burnout. Bang and a puff of black smoke from Nick Spence's motor just past half track, made it to the top end on momentum. Next up and Willem van Baalen's fist competitive outing after licencing yesterday in the dragster formerly driven by Shari Koene, in the other lane Rod Harrison with a 6.00 dial-in for the alcohol dragster. New PB of 6.2482, well done Rod! That was the long way round and with a pedal by the sound of it too. Big breakout and new 8.0379 PB for Willem, well done Willem! Johan Oomen shut off after his burnout, fluid leak, in the other lane Chris Parker's motor sounded to be misfiring on the burnout but no problem on the run, in at #12 at that point. Brief clean-up in Johan's lane meanwhile Mark Adams was towed back to the pits.

Pro ET qualifying session 1

Last time I saw James Forster, leaving the Pod office on Wednesday evening, he said "I'm off to put in an engine". Looks like he did a good job, +0.229 on his second run since installing the motor. Great 0.0063 RT for Lee Huxley, not far off the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award and a tie with Morgan Wilson for best RT so far.

Lucas Oil Junior Dragster qualifying session 1

A big Good Morning to Mark Cook Abbott who is tuned in from the top end, Mark is of course on the medical team here at Santa Pod; son Thomas runs in Junior Dragster. Slightly depleted field due to school exams today but plenty of time today and tomorrow for everyone to get in to the ladder. Saskia Fensome Jell the first to leave the line to open the 2015 Main Event, 0.0935 RT. Morgan Wilson the first to take a tilt at the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award with a 0.0063, good for #1 at that point... and indeed good for #1 at the end of the session.

08:30

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Main Event brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcam will broadcast live video and commentary / Nitro FM audio so long as the track is open.

A big Good Morning to Mrs Webster and the Pine Class who are tuned in to the webcast. Hope you enjoy the broadcast boys and girls, pay attention in your lessons and you can't go wrong. Good morning also to Ivar Kolberg who is tuned in from Norway and to all of the Eurodragsterholics out there. To those who are stuck in an office today we will do everything we can to get the results to you quickly - don't get yourselves in trouble.

We are due to start at 09:30 with Lucas Oil Junior Dragster. Stay tuned and as soon as the first wheels start to move we'll bring you all the news.
