Good morning and welcome to day 2 of our coverage of the STP Springspeed Nationals from Santa Pod Raceway. The weather here is cloudy with temperature of 10C rising to 11C and wind of 11mph. The density altitude is forecast to be below sea level for the whole of the day according to airdensityonline.com, between -50ft and -280ft, so once again good conditions if the track gets a bit of heat.
Yesterday was a great day of qualifying and we completed all that was planned. Today we start with the remainder of session 3 qualifying and continue until six sessions are complete (seven for Comp Eliminator).
Greetings to all those who have tuned in and got in touch. Thanks to all sponsors for the site, we have updated your logos on the home and news pages so there may be one or two new ones, thanks in particular to John Tebenham for his support.
Come back for all the news from qualifying from 09:30 and in the meantime why not check out our galleries from the Event Index, there are 415 photos in total from yesterday.
