Wild Bunch Q&E round 2

Smoke out of James Auld's engine in the shutdown area. Bob Hawkins not only restarting after the engine stopped, but doing a 3 point turn in the starting area (versatile!), engine hunting as he reversed from a smoke-free burnout. 6.7360/198.94, 1.0148 to 60ft and 4.3030/160.62 to half track. Ron White with a 10.9993/110.84 for his first ten second pass, well done Rob! Rob had said he would propose to his girlfriend if he ran a ten, and now he will! Allan Schofield with a slightly wayward car, Keith Crampton sans wheelie bars for the weekend, but still went 9.68.

First appearance for Leo Knight who was waiting on parts until just before the event, no wheelie bars, 2nd gear launch to a creditable 8.1297/161.38

Good morning and welcome to day 3 of our NSRA Nostalgia Nationals coverage from Santa Pod Raceway. The weather is sunny with a rapidly clearing sky and temperatures on the rise too, 13c rising to 18C this afternoon, wind 9mph from the west, and adjusted altitude around 700ft rising to 1100 ft.

As you can see from our report, yesterday was a washout without a wheel turned on track, today looks much brighter. We have a revised running order which allows for a one-shot qualifying session starting at 09:30 with eliminations beginning later in the morning, you can see the revised schedule by going to our Event Index.

Hi to all Eurodragsterholics tuned in, we send greetings and commiserations to Perfect ET Award sponsor Andy 'Fadter' who suffered major engine damage in his first burnout of the event, hope you can return soon Fadster. Commiserations also to Rob and Pete Brown, whose Wrathchild dragster suffered transmission issues that can't be fixed here (happy Birthday to team member and Rob's fiancee Hayley Fyfe), and Mike Couch, whose slingshot has a damaged diff.

Track drying at the top end and prep is under way, we'll be back asap with our one-shot qualifying.
