Big wheels-up launch for Belinda Bull, front end back up as soon as she hit it again, shut it off. Then a mouth-watering match-up, Jens Eklund against Andy Frost in the street-legal Vauxhall. New PB for Jens, well done Jens and team! Excellent pass for Frosty also, good for #2.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 5

Improvement for Dave Murdoch in the first pair but stayed #6. New PB for Martin Smith, well done Martin and Team Extreme! In the other lane Nick Hales' Mercedes didn't move on the green. Whatever ailed the Merc quickly sorted as Nick stayed on the start line and went up against Nigel Hale, slight improvement for Nick but stayed in place and smoke from one bank.

Andy Marrs has crunched the numbers and the match between Mark Todd v Martin Smith earlier was the second quickest side-by-side in Street Eliminator history. Mark Todd was also involved in the quickest side-by-side which was his 7.2434 to Steve Neimantas' 7.3293 at the 2015 UK National Finals. Thank you Marrs!

Super Comp qualifying session 5

Before this session a break for clean-up in the right lane. Paul Brown up from #8 to #7 first pair. Third pair and Pete Creswell sounded to have problems burning out (can't see through the floor here) but fine at the second attempt then made up for it with another 8.905, this time with an additional 5 in the fourth decimal place.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 5

Craig Wright up from #22 to #15 at +0.0287 in the second pair. Next pair and Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters shut off after his burnout. Mark Flavell took the bye, drove through the bounce but on the second shift the motor groaned and Flav shut it off. Wheels up and shake for Johan Oomen, Viper headed for the guardrail and he shut it off. Nice run for Dave Evans until about 1000 feet then smoke from the pipes and the big Impala started to move around, Dave shut off a touch early and put out the chute but still an 8.8022 on 7.9 dial-in. Track carefully checked and all OK, meanwhile a Billys-and-mop clean-up and a sled on the start line in the other lane. Barry Giles going great guns in the S+K Racing dragster but then it started to move around at the eighth and he backed out of it. I would have suggested the crosswind but unnoticed by Your Reporter the wind has moved round since this morning and is now head-on. Marc Henney up from #16 to #12 +0.0075, that's twelve racers +0.00 on day one and everyone down to #24 on +0.0, man I love Super Pro ET. #21 to #15 for Chris Parker at +0.0206. 0.0091 RT for Ian Brown and +0.0087 for Nick Good but stayed #9 with his previous best of +0.0070. Next pair and Dave Townsend lost drive a few feet out, made it to the other end though.

Pro ET qualifying session 5

Great 0.0031 RT by Paul Herbert in the first pair, up from #25 to #21 at +0.0621. In the other lane another move up the ladder for Laura Baynton, #18 to #12 at +0.0367. Two pairs later and Nigel Green lost drive off the line, idled it along the track. Last chance for Eurodragster.com sponsor Nic Williams to take Wheelie of the Day from Rick McCann. The wheelie is going to have to go to a decider on Rick's wheelie in this session but Nic took #1 from Rick with a perfect 10.1200 on 10.12 dial-in, well done Nic! Brian Huxley and Glenn Pallant side-by-side #33 to #28 and #9 to #6 at +0.890 and +0.0163 respectively. +0.0065 RT for Geoff Cowley two pairs later. #25 to #13 for Leigh Morris two pairs after that, +0.0305. Wheelie of the Day definitely Rick McCann's on this session on top of the earlier efforts. Liz Malcolm up from #34 to #12 at +0.0256. Lee Guy up from #36 to #31 at +0.0863. #13 to #7 for Mark Bailey at +0.0155.

for the nerds amongst us Nic Williams' extended ET was 10.120076.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 4

First pair and visible tyre shake marks from Nigel Hale's pick-up. Great pass for Mark Sheridan, approaching a full pass, in the other lane Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster put in a gream launch then shut it off. Mark Todd v Martin Smith next, I am thinking maybe the quickest side-by-side in SE, 7.3222/197.26 and 7.4208/185.80, when I get a moment I'll check in with Marrs' recently-posted table of quickest side-by-sides.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 4

Ian Powell pushed back after his burnout. Eurodragster.com brother-in-law Tom Atkinson took the bye and went into #10 spot from #25, +0.0053 in dial-in. +0.0074 got you #10 spot at that point. Improvement still further for Ian Brown but stayed #5. Chris Parker's rail took a step away from the straight and narrow at half track, shut it off. Problem with Marius Blackburn's dial-in, 8.85 on the rear wing and crew saying 8.80, shut off and Joe Kellett told to take the bye. Martyn Jones up from #29 to #12 in the blown-alcohol dragster, shut it off at about 1100 feet and went +0.0233 on dial-in. Ian Powell back for another go in the other lane alongside Daniel Giles, #27 to #17 and #19 to #13 at +0.0451 and +0.0246 respectively. +0.0947 bought you #23 at that point and next round was that #23, Dave Townsend alongside Marius Blackburn with the 8.85 dial-in. Awful shake for Dave and shut off 8.9588 for Marius good for a move from #28 to #25. Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters and Billy Gane side-by-side #26 to #16 and #14 to #10 at +0.0375 and +0.0070 respectively. +0.0074, a performance which most of us could only dream of, at this point bought you #11! 0.0040 RT for Nick Good in his blown-alcohol dragster but hit shake and shut it off. Scott Hauser +0.0036 this round, +0.0022 earlier, now you know why he has had the #1 plate a couple of times.

Comp Eliminator qualifying session 3

Shake and a move left for Belinda Bull in the first run of the session, shut it off. First oting of the weekend for Andy Frost's Vauxhall, made the 6.6812 look very easy so more to come there and in at #3.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 3

Colour commentator Matt Atkinson tells us that Stu Williams' Supra has terminal damage but that due to Stu's standing in the points he may sign on with his own street car. Smoke and a fluid trail from Nick Hales' Mercedes in the first pair. Clean-up called. Second pair after the restart and Gary Gooding idled down the track, in the other lane Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster pedalled deftly for wheelspin but then got a 7.471 with an unlikely 116 mph terminal speed.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 3

Nice 0.0059 RT by Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters in the second pair but in the other lane John Przybyl took over #1 spot with a perfect 7.5200 on 7.52 dial-in, taking #1 spot from Paul Marston by one ten thousandth of a second. Well done John and team! Great pairing two pairs later, Brad Jackson up to #6 from #20 at +0.0067 and in the other lane Joe Kellett up to #5 at +0.0029. Top twenty separated by 0.0947 at that point,and top seven by 0.0070. Thomas Haas next up the ladder, #19 to #9 at +0.0074, in the other lane Paul Marston not far off last round's pefformance at +0.0060. 7.7346 PB for Laura Turburville, break-out but I don't think either Laura or Turbo will worry about that, well done both! Agsin a bouncy ride for Mark Flavell but stayed with it this time and clocked 7.6901. Gordon Northway up from #16 to #10 with the last run of the session at +0.0161.

If you like your trivia then our good buddy Andy Marrs of the timing crew tells us that John Przybyl actually broke out by fourteen millionths of a second at 7.519986, but that because the system works to four decimal places it was rounded up.

Pro ET qualifying session 3

Bump spot +0.1865 going into this session. Squeaker -0.0040 RT by Tim Stanbury first pair, in the other lane Dave Crowurst moved up from #35 to #23. #32 to #25 for Rhiannon Bellenie next pair. No Carla Pittau this session after evident problems in Q2, team member and Eurodragster.com Contributing Photographer Grace tells us that they are replacing a seized water pump. So Rick McCann upheld the honour of the Heaven and Hell team this session, took Wheelie of the Day so far from Nic Williams but stayed #12. After eleven pairs we had had ten breakouts. Twelfth pair and a great run for Alex Mahl, up from #15 to #3 at +0.0164. Next pair and the midnight oil did the trick for Eddy van den Bos, #17 to #4 at +0.0186. Eurodragster.com sponsor Nic Williams up to #5 from #16 at +0.0212. Great 0.0051 RT for Brian Huxley in the last run of the session.

Comp Eliminator qualifying session 2

First run of the weekend for Kev Perkins, under index and in at #2 whilst in the other lane an improvement for Jens Eklund consolidated his #1 spot. OK, until the next pair when Rene Ehrismann kicked his index in to next year and took over #1. New PB I suspect, well done Rene and team!

It subsequently transpired that Rene had been given the wrong index, when time permits we will change the below manually.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 2

First pair and first outing of the weekend for Mark Sheridan's Cuda. Looked from here like a planned half-pass. Next pair first outing of the weekend for Jonny Smith, the smallest car in the class, up against Eurodragster.com chauffeur Nigel Hale in the biggest car in the class. Jonny in at #8 moved Nigel down to #9. Big improvement for Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster moved him up to #3. Ben Barnwell's problem was due to breather hose coming off a rocker cover, the interior of the engine compartment liberally coated with oil so clean-up in progress and Ben will be back later.

Super Comp qualifying session 2

Paul Brown up from #11 to #4 first pair, in the other lane Richie Webb... well, you know how it goes so let's just that say it was enough that even Richie put the chute out and in so doing inadvertently went right-side of index. An aberration I'm sure. Nicky Frost's Camaro jumped in the air on launch, I think all four were off there for a moment. Looked like transmission problems for Paul Letchford, the roadster moved a few feet then stopped dead with the motor groaning, engaged gear eventually. Colin Morrice up from #9 to #4 next pair. Bullet dodged for Mort as the Camaro rocked in and out of deep stage, luckily before the Tree ran. Slight breakout ensued. Final run of the session, first competitive pass for newly-licenced Tyler Ashdown. Nice 0.0643 RT and 9.1049/145.32 good for #10.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 2

Eurodragster.com sponsor Pete Walters up from #18 to #9 in the first run of the session +0.11. #27 to #3 for Laura Turburville next pair +0.0411. Storming opener for David Greenhalgh's Nissan although the car was really moving around in the second half. Track check and all OK. #16 to #2 for John Przybyl next pair at 0.0297. Track check then Tom Atkinson and Ian Powell shut off before staging, clean-up called at top top end. On the restart Ian up from #22 to #9 at +0.0888. 200-foot burnout by Mark Flavell announced his presence but then on the run the FC headed left and got a serious bounce on. Nice 0.0097 RT by Wouter van Leersum then up from #16 to #6 at +0.0599. First run of the day for Marc Henney, more than once a winner of Eurodragster.com Perfect Award money. +0.1209 put him #16 at that point. Next pair and Jack Brewster up from #29 to #6 at +0.0551. Perfect 8.2801 on 8.28 dial-in for Paul Marston won him #1 spot from #24 and subject to a decal check the Eurodragster.com Perfect ET Award in support of NSPCC, well done Paul! Nick Good Motorsport team-mates Chris Parker and Brad Jackson side-by-side from #30 to #6 and #20 to #15 respectively. Improvement for Scott Hauser +0.0022 retained his #2 spot. A run for Barnard Saz will give us a 32-car field... great run! +0.0284 good for #3. Terminal speed showed as 253.64 mph, I'm sure he'd be pleased with that but he would have stopped somewhere in Milton Keynes had that been correct. Next pair and Nick Good up from #18 to #3 +0.0070. Johan Oomen and Lee Huxley gave us a 34-car field, in at #28 and #24 respectively. Johan stopped on the shutdown area and Thomas Haas and Billy Gane shut off on the start line for retrieval. On the retsart Thomas up from #26 to #16 at +0.0856.Last pair and hideous tyre shake for Dave Townsend, in the other lane Ian Brown having had his upgraded licence signed off in the last session went +0.0026 on dial-in for #3 spot. Well done Ian and team!

Bernard Saz' 7.1684 run subsquently removed from the ladder as the timing crew considered that terminal speed indicated a premature clock stop.

Pro ET qualifying session 2

Going into this session Dave Cherrett on the bump at -0.0280, let's see how the bump looks at the end of this one; Q2 is quite often The Session When It All Happens. First pair and a great run for Steve Unsworth moved him up from #23 to #3. James Forster up from #33 to #9 next pair and I'd venture safely into the 32-car ladder. #27 to #11 for Eddy van den Bos in the third pair. #35 to #28 for Dave Crowhurst, in the ladder for now but not secure. Carla Pittau unusually off the pace, terminal speed doesn't imply an early shut-off but hopefully no problems. Rick McCann rolled the beams slightly as the Tree ran but enough to trigger the clock adding, I would estimate, 0.9 seconds to his ET. #35 to #1 for Karen Stevens next pair, +0.0071 on dial-in and close to the Eurodragster.com Perfect ET Award in support of NSPCC. Annie Wallace rolled through stage going up on the revs, Tim Stanbury up from #18 to #15 in the other lane. Leigh Morris next up the ladder, #23 to #13. Wheelie of the Day by Eurodragster.com sponsor Nic Williams and +0.0632 good for #12. At that point 0.0930 separated the top nineteen. Ethan Lisle in The Back Up Car edged in, #34 to #29. #36 to #4 for Keith Herbert +0.0313. #34 to #22 for Will Clark +0.0962. Dave Cherrett up from #36 to #9 in the last pair, bump spot now right side at +0.1865.

Lucas Oil Junior Dragster qualifying session 1

Perfect 0.0006 RT by Roman Sixta Jr in the first pair put him #1 and won him the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award, well done Roman! Good to see Paige Wheeler back out on the track, last or penultimate outing in Junior Dragster I think, squeaker -0.0042 red. After five pairs every racer was in the 0.0s and that, my friends, is why Your Reporter always relishes Junior Dragster qualifying. Swap of cars for Shannon Kiddell, now in the former Giles family dragster, Daniel Giles crewing on a car he used to drive back in the days when he was shorter than me (although that was only a few days). Casper Ljungdahl a very welcome visitor from Sweden, 0.0737 great for a first shot at Santa Pod. A big Hello and Welcome to Freddy Turza and Mark Tycen of VP Racing Fuels who sponsor Jordan Payne, and of course Eurodragster.com, and who are here at Santa Pod this weekend. 0.0444 for Jordan good for #7 at that point.

Super Gas qualifying session 1

Dan Page in Mort's Camaro this weekend, always good to see a page on the entry list. Two pairs later and Dan's previous race car out on the line in the hands of Tim Moore, in the other lane Jon Giles' Willys not sporting the Eurodragster.com / NSPCC decals so the Perfect ET money is still up for grabs. Jon Giles #1 in both Super COmp and Super Gas, well done Jon!

Comp Eliminator qualifying session 1

Great job by the track crew. First pair one of the UK Comp Eliminator stars against one of the Swedish Comp Eliminator stars, Belinda v Jens, 7.56 index plays 8.17. Shake and a move for Belinda, pedalled and tried again but the pick-up was having none of it so Belinda shut it off. 7.3594 for Jens.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator qualifying session 1

Next to have a go at the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award was Eurodragster.com sponsor Jon Webster with a 0.0046 in the first pair. The Comet launched particularly strongly. PB for Gary Gooding to take #1 spot, in the other lane Davey Murdoch here after buffing out the scrapes on his Willys caused by the car tipping over at a demo. Fantastic pass for Martin Smith in the Bentley! New PB judging by the team's reaction, well done Martin! real good to see Mark Todd back in competition with the big GTO. It was like he was never away, in to #1 spot. Ben Barnwell closed out the session in the Team Extreme Escort, 8.5662/155.78 PB, well done Ben! Huge cloud of smoke from the motor in the second half. Track check ensued and clean-up called at the top end.

Perfect 8.9009 for Jon Giles to open his account, subject to decal check Jon wins the £50 Eurodragster.com Perfect ET Award in support of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, well done Jon! In the other lane a -0.3065 breakout for Richie Webb but he'll be pleased with that. 0.0050 RT by Dave Day, another tilt at the close to the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award.

Good morning to Super Pro ET racer and good egg Peter Lane who had to withdraw after finding engine damage from his last outing. We wish that Jean and yourself were here Peter. Also a big Thank You to Babs and Steve Saunders who brought biscuits for the Eurodragster.com team and Track Announcers.

Super Pro ET qualifying session 1

Tom Atkinson first in the queue, this must be Super Pro ET. Good to see new boy Austin Jacques in his Capri, 8.8745 on 8.76 dial-in. 7.7640 on 8.20 breakout for Laura Turburville, that combination of mystified and happy on the team's faces. Rare and welcome National Championship outing for Dave Townsend, 7.6447 on 7.50 to open his account. In the other lane a quick clean-up, fluid from Gordon Northway's big pick-up. On the restart a storming wheels-up launch from Nick Good in his blown-alcohol dragster, never get tired of seeing those launches. Next pair and Bernard Saz shut off after the burnout for a fluid leak, I think fuel as it evaporated very quickly. 0.0086 RT by Rainier van Schelt, close to the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award. Barry Giles in competition this weekend in the S+K Racing dragster whilst son Daniel drives the Giles and Hartley car. Daniel already run and #5, could Barry outqualify him? Not on this run, #22 but that looked like a ranging pass to me and full-bore next time. I think final licencing pass for Ian Brown in the Thatadoo Camaro, 8.99 dial-in, 8.5267 break-out, but all good and a thumbs-up from Ian Marshall.

Pro ET qualifying session 1

Darren Laws the first racer to leave the line at the 2016 FIA / FIM European Finals, -0.0644 but it's qualifying so we'll let him off. Squeaker -0.0034 red for Simon Innes. One of our friends from The Netherlands Eddy van den Bos had only just arrived and was setting up his pit at gone midnight last night but made it for this session. Paul Herbert the first today to take a tilt at the Eurodragster.com / Bad Habit Racing Perfect Light Award with a 0.0044 RT.

07:25

Good morning and welcome from Santa Pod to our coverage of the FIA / FIM European Finals brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

The Webster Race Engineering / Nimbus Motorsport webcast will start shortly before qualifying commences (scheduled for 09:30) and will continue so long as the track is open.

It is a beautiful day here at Santa Pod. Lovely sunrise and very little cloud, and mild. The track crew are currently sledding the track after scraping the surface from 250 feet to to 330 feet last night.

The reporting plan for today is the full service of live report, pit notes and end-day gallery. Whilst you are waiting for today's action to start you could check out the report and gallery from yesterday's Pro Peak Performance Test and Tune Day, available via the Event Index. It was an enjoyable day, one of the themes being "Just how quick can Jens Eklund go?", the answer being 7.282 seconds. Also of note was the performance of the Giles and Hartley Super Pro ET team, with Daniel Giles driving the dragster this weekend, whose six runs were all in the 7.3s and had a spread of 0.030 seconds. These guys have not previously been UK National Champions for nothing but that kind of performance still impresses Your Reporter.

A big Good Morning to all of the Eurodragsterholics with a special wave to our faithful coverage fans Ivar Kolberg and Kai Plathan. A particular Hello to those of you tuned in from your day jobs; as ever please don't get yourselves into trouble with your managers. We will do our best to bring you all the news as soon as possible.

Pro ET are first out of bed this morning and will start qualifying at 09:30. We are due five complete cycles which will take us up to 18:00. So get a tall coffee and get comfortable and as soon as the wheels start to turn we'll bring you all the news.
