Nostalgia Funny Car licensing run

Second pass for Aaron Fensome, confident burnout, three stabs at the throttle to around 300ft, Rob leant into the car when it wouldn't go into forward gear with revs a little high, pushed car but refused to engage so shut down.

Renegade Outlaw Anglia qualifying session 3

Garry Hill 9.6587/141.26, Wayne Power 10.547/129.04 Ben Montgomery 12.671/110.84 (2nd alternate), Shane Bird 13.544/99.71 (3rd alternate) v Martyn Payne with a wild burnout and a weave at 330ft 11.438/113.34, Ian Tweddle 10.362/128.67 (first qualifying run into #12) v Rob Nixon 9.949/139.91, Doug McClure another wild launch to 11.034/122.39 v Barry Woodford 10.2591/133.31 to #10, Rob Turrington 13.392/88.05 (now 1st alternate) v Spencer Tidswell 9.745/141.23.

The final run was Colin Millar (5 nitrous jets!) and Robin Read's nitro Daimler dragster was alongside him as a pace-setter. Great time for Colin, 7.0484/196.41 for an OA fastest speed whilst Robin had an explosion from the engine at 100ft and lifted to 12.70/56.53. Commiserations to Robin, hope the damage is not too bad. Pause for clean up.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the NSRA Nostalgia Nationals from Santa Pod Raceway. It's quite cloudy and windy but dry this morning with temperature of 11C forecast to rise to 13C. The wind is 16mph from the north east which is a tail wind. Density altitude is forecast to be in the range 300-700 ft.

We had a great day of run what ya brung yesterday. Around 140 cars made just under 500 runs from 09:00 to 17:00 when proceedings were called. The vast majority of cars were from invited classes, Wild Bunch, Modified 100e's and NSRA members, however best performance of the day was from Robin Read who took his Daimler engined Spirit dragster to an amazing 6.37/208, over two tenths quicker than before and almost two seconds quicker than any other vehicle running yesterday! We understand that a leakdown test on one cylinder revealed a drop in compression on one cylinder and the team is diagnosing whether the problem is piston related or block related, the latter would signal the end of the weekend for the team. Congratulations to Robin on his new PB.

Happy Birthday for today to former dragster pilot and Supercharged Outlaw crew Doug Bond, also to Outlaw Anglia crew Joe Taylor, hi also to those who will be following the report if they are busy on other things this Jubilee weekend. We hope you are having a great time.

The schedule for today is in the programme, we have posted a copy on our Event Index page. Racing starts at 09:30 and continues to 20:00. Come back later and we'll keep you up to date on the action.
