News vom Main Event Santa Pod
Heute vom Eurodragster.com berichtet:
SUPER PRO-ET
In Super Pro ET, Ronald Jutting had a wild ride in the second eighth with the VW funny car.
TOP METHANOL DRAGSTER
Steve Turner, Crew Chief of the Turner Motorsport Top Methanol Dragster, said that the team are hoping to run into the 5.4s this weekend. "We found a couple of things on the computer", said Steve. "It will either work or fall flat on its face!". Steve has also purchased a miniature USB video camera to place on the car and said that if the experiment works then the team would sell the cameras after each run together with a certificate of authenticity.
TOP MENTHANOL FUNNY CAR
Horst Pauli of Urs Erbacher's Top Methanol FC team said that they were very pleased indeed with Urs' 5.716 last Sunday. "We said to Urs to stay on it as long as it felt good", said Horst. "Urs was very happy with his timing slip from the first run because it said the Reaction Time was 0.400 but then someone told us that they changed it to show 0.000 for a perfect time!"
TOP FUEL
Finally for this update we had a visit from Kenneth Lorentzon, Crew Chief of the Lorentzon and Möller Top Fuel Dragster. Kenneth told us that the new dragster threw a blower belt on the 5.6-second test pass last Sunday, which accounts for the sudden move it made at half-track.
Meine Lieblings News heute :-)
Pro ET
The fifth and final qualifying cycle for today started with Pro ET, Tony Morris' trip from the USA well worth it as he took number one spot from Chris Isaacs, whilst Spencer Tramm moved into the top five:
Tony Morris +0.002 9.462/142.55
Chris Isaacs +0.003 9.753/135.52
John Atkinson +0.009 9.249/145.14
Wayne Hiscock +0.009 9.859/132.36
Spencer Tramm +0.010 9.970/137.18
Freu mich total, das mein Bruderherz es geschafft hat heute unter den TOP 5 Qualifier zu kommen und das mit einem Auto das er heute zum erstenmal gefahren ist und dann gleich ganz oben zu stehen auf der Liste.
Ich hoffe dass das Wochenende so weiterläuft und das er schön zum fahren kommt, ich weis das er schon seit Jahren gerne wieder in Europa mal fahren wollte und jetzt hat es geklappt. Auch wenn es nicht seine SuperComp ist hat er bestimmt mächtig viel Fun.
Keep up the good work Bro :D

Stefan Giese turned out for the fourth session of Super Pro ET qualifying with the door and window of his very rapid Corvette taped up. Stefan clocked a 7.501 in this session with the chutes out before the finish line. The top five did not change in this session.
