Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of Dragstalgia brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

It is a beautiful warm and sunny afternoon here at Santa Pod and we have had a great day of Run What You Brung. Currently on a break to prep the track as we have a cycle of qualifying commencing 17:00 which covers most classes; you can check out the provisional running order via the Event Index.

No webcast from us this weekend; Santa Pod Raceway are streaming free Web TV on YouTube and Facebook and you can check out the links via the Event Index.

Stay tuned for the results as they happen; in the meantime Simon has posted his first set of pit notes which you can also check out via the Event Index.
