Graham Fairhead advanced through the first round of VW Sportsman with an on-the-brakes 15.330 on his 15.20 dial in. |

Ian Marshall was at the wheel of the Highlander Super Mod this weekend, the Camaro having had a new hood scoop and a freshen of the paint amongst other off-season work. |

Anyone who has read today's race report will know why anyone needing to borrow some fuel will probably not be going to Super Pro ET racer John Everitt! |

John Floyd put it all together and unleashed the sort of run he has been threatening for a while with a stunning 8.875 from the little two-stroke Supertwin Top Gas bike. |

It was a family affair for Charlotte and Tom Watts as they faced off in the first round of Junior Dragster: Tom took the win. |

Nigel Turner shows that there is no lack of grip as his Super Pro ET dragster picks up the front end nicely on the launch. |

Talbot Racing returned to competition for the first time since transmission damage at last year's FIA European Finals. Pat's 7.813 first round win on a 7.74 dial-in suggests all is well again in the Talbot pit. |

Steve Carey lost out to Steve Woollatt in Top Fuel Bike, but we suspect that his 7.007/200.05 timing ticket will be some consolation. |
|
Steve Dunn and Jon Evans continue the process of getting their Camaro dialled in for Super Gas. |
|
