FIA/Motorsport UK Pro Modified qualifying after session 2

Kev Slyfield NTR. Kev had a gearbox selection issue earlier which was resolved relatively easily. After a 1.0597 launch the car turned left and the rear axle had skewed with tyre shake causing it to crab across the centre line and down the track. He turned off safely but the team have work to do on the axle.

Pete Kunc 6.3669/195.56 v Bobby Wallace 5.9507/241.24 Nitrous matchup, Bobby 0.9913 to 60ft and 3.9252/192.56, Peter 0.9961 and 3.9953/170.97 with bunny ears until an early shutoff.

Jimmy Ålund 5.9281/240.32 v Andy Robinson broke. No brakes for Andy radioed through by crew chief Mark Balzaretti, his car pushed back. Much better for Jimmy after gearshift problems in Q1, 0.9985 and 3.8946/192.16 incrementals for Jimmy. Welcome back to crew chief and owner Magnus Petersson.

Walle Strobel 7.1286/198.12 v David Smith 7.4789/153.13 1.1277 to 1.0847 60fts respectively, David got close to the centre line and had to lift 4.4974/136.13 to Walle's 4.6440/156.83. David bumped out by Walle who is now on the bump spot.

Jan Ericsson 5.8248/246.87 v Andres Arnover 5.8754.247.83. Andres' car or its exhaust clipped or blew the half track block, Jan 0.9693 and 3.7900/214.94 into #1 Andres 0.9962 and 3.8973/196.75 provisionally into #2. We await a decision on Andres' time. Bump now 7.0754.

Bruno Bader 6.0171/237.78 v Jean Dulamon 6.2775/213.89, Bruno close to the wall .9951 and 3.9426/188.84 to Jean's 1.0280 and 4.0514/180.31 close to the centre line. Bruno into #10, bump spot now 6.3669 (Peter Kunc).

Jon Webster 6.4864/220.37 v Michel Tooren 5.9649/242.48, Michel into #8, 1.0141 and 3.9412/194.20, Jon little off his earlier pace 1.0669 and 4.2906/177.00 in #15.

Freddy Fagerström 6.2120/224.74 v Micke Gullqvist 5.9605/240.00. Incrementals for Micke 0.9873 and 3.9242/190.93, for Freddy 0.9798 and 4.0529/182.74, looked like no tyre shake for either and doorhandle to doorhandle down the track.

Wayne Nicholson 13.5055/61.87 v Roger Johansson 8.7073/108.74. A long time before both staged, then problems on the launch and both lifted, 1.2388 60ft for Wayne to 1.0230 for Roger and 4.7750/119.32 who was off the throttle by then.

Marck-Harteveld 6.0357/238.92 v David Vegter. David had transmission problems with oil leaks from the shifter, shut off after his burnout. Marck had a little pedal after 330ft, 0.9938 launch and 3.9704/188.94.

David refired but the run won't count in qualifying. He ran 5.9129/243.67 (1.0004 60ft and 3.8931/193.78).

Nitro Funny Car Cup qualifying after session 1

Patrik Pers 7.6602/96.51 v Steve Ashdown NTR. Steve not spinning the tyres on the burnout. Patrik 0.9523 to 60ft then got close to the left wall, 5.2135/92.54. Patrik's team said he was aiming for a 60ft on the throttle, and suffered tyre shake. Steve blazed the tyres instantly, 1.4801 to 60ft and by then the blower had lifted with a pop and flash of flame, the chutes deployed by the Electromotive system.

Jason Phelps 5.5889/139.40 v Kevin Kent 5.2614/137.01. Kevin 0.9574 then tyre shake at 200ft out and the car made a move to the left as his left wheel departed the axle. The car, or the wheel, recorded 3.7304/164.92 to the eighth. Kevin did a great job of keeping the car in his lane and bringing it to a safe halt. The wheel went into Jason's lane and bounced off his car, Jason 1.0359 to 60ft and 4.0110/159.07 to the eighth. On hold for recovering Kevin's car, the medics checking him out and cleanup in Kevin's lane in the shutdown area. Kevin's run DQ's for his wheel crossing the centre line.

Good morning and welcome to day 2 of our coverage of the 2023 FIA/FIM-E Euro Finals from Santa Pod Raceway. Like yesterday the sky has high cloud and temperatures are currently 15C and forecast to go to a sweltering 28C. The wind is a negligible 9mph from the south east. Density altitude from airdensityonline.com, is currently 1350ft and is predicted to rise to 2600ft or so, with 78-98 grains of water, about the same as yesterday. We will report on the KEG traction readings at the top of each day's page, starting with Thursday's measurements for which we have updated yesterday's report.

We completed qualifying earlier than planned yesterday as there was practically no downtime, and some teams elected to pass some sessions to allow their cars to cool down. Today we will have two rounds of pro qualifying and three more rounds of sportsman qualifying.

A big Hello to all Eurodragsterholics who have been following our reports and galleries from Julian and Diana. We will continue today and know that you will be able to see on your phone the results as well as following the video stream laid on by Santa Pod Raceway.

Come back at 09:30 for all the qualifying news.
