Supercharged Outlaws session 3

The Supercharged Outlaws handle their own qualifying so this is not a qualifying list per se but who did what in this session.

No real burnout and no reverse for Tony Betts, drove down the track. Cloud of smoke from Paul Dale's motor in the shutdown area, oil clean-up ensued. Clean-up also after Gary Parkes ran - in session two this morning he came past Callum and Your Reporter at Exit 1 being sprayed and wiping oil from his visor, looked like something similar this session.

Supercharged Outlaws session 2

The Supercharged Outlaws handle their own qualifying so this is not a qualifying list per se but who did what in this session.

Your Reporter was at Exit 1 with Callum for this session and what I thought was a bomb going off in the Fadster v Neil Townson pair was Eurodragster.com sponsor Fadster's blower plate letting go.

Supercharged Outlaws session 1

Hello and hugs to Kirsten, wish you were here.

The Supercharged Outlaws handle their own qualifying so this is not a qualifying list per se but who did what in this session. New PB and into the nines for Keith Freeman, well done Keith and team! Big cloud of smoke then a flash of flame from Tony Underhill's motor, track checked and all OK. On the restart an impressive and well-controlled double wheelie by Bill McDermid of Eurodragster.com sponsor Topspeed Automotive... you've heard of last-photograhper burnouts, that was a last-photographer wheelie.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the NSRA Hot Rod Drags brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

It's a beautiful day here at Santa Pod Raceway. Sunny, very few clouds, no breeze at all, real Indian Summer stuff although I suppose the lefties will be stopping us from using that phrase some time soon.

Today we will be bringing you qualifying standings for those classes which are in competition, pit notes courtesy of Simon, and an end-day gallery courtesy of Julian, DD and Yours Truly. The results from the 11:00 qualifying session will be slightly delayed as Your Reporter is headed to the shutdown area to get parachute shots. So on the one hand the results will be a bit late, but on the other hand the gallery should benefit.

No webcast from us today; Santa Pod are providing the webcast for this event and you can check out the YouTube and Facebook variants of the stream via the Event Index. As this is not our webcast we won't be entertaining queries or comments about it.

A big Good Morning to the Eurodragsterholics, with a special wave to Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, to Ivar Kolberg in Norway, to Benni Voss in Germany, and to Bob Roberts here in Blighty.

The track opens at 09:30 with the first qualifying session for some classes to tune back then and we'll bring you the standings before the long walk to Exit 1. In the meantime you could take a look at yesterday's gallery which is available via the Event Index.
