Unfortunately the weather has won this one; the track is soaked and the radar shows a lot more rain coming. Race Director Carole Ismail has called us for today. Nitro FM will continue into this evening but we will post today's gallery and then we'll see you back here in the morning.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Festival of Power brought to you in association with John Woolfe Racing.

We had a good day's testing yesterday in pleasant spring weather, several racers took the chance to get out on track and you can check out yesterday's gallery via the Event Index page.

Not quite so pleasant today as rain came in overnight. The track crew have been out sweeping since early this morning, and right now there is light drizzle in the air. Stay tuned and we'll let you know when things improve; you can also keep an ear on things on Nitro FM via the Event Index or at www.eurodragster.com/nitrofm.

There will be no pit notes, today at least, as ace Pit Reporter Simon is at home with a back injury. Take it easy and get well soon Simon, you are missed here.

Sit tight and as soon as the weather improves we'll be back with an update.
