RE: UK HO Drag Proxy - The Inline Show - June 2022 - 935 fan - 15th-Jun-22
I think there will be some close racing in all classes today
MS Street Stock qualifying was particularly puzzling. I had done nothing to the 934 but it ran faster than ever! Iain

Unusually, Street Stock qualified last - when the strip was nicely warmed up and the room temperature was quite toasty too. The stock Micro cars do seem to like it quite warm... But as I'm as interested as Iain to see how it pans out, Street Stock is today's lunchtime entertainment...
Micro Scalextric Street Stock Elimination Race - Round One
I suspect both Nico and Jeremy found it difficult to sleep last night, thinking about this first round match. Would Jeremy's car be Smokey Joe or Flash Gordon? The Rescue Units were on hand - and the Fire Dept on standby...

Not much smoke, but neither much speed - Nico can breathe freely! A 0.115 second win for the Jag - the ETs 0.650 and 0.757.
[attachment=24218]
Rebecca and Sue lined-up for that eighth vs ninth showdown - and it was a close race. Rebecca managed a small lead off the line, but Sue's Audi was closing by the end. Not quite enough - a 0.015 second margin for the Porsche, the ETs 0.689 and 0.697.
[attachment=24219]
Jane's Nissan only managed fourth in qualifying, but is often better in the race. Jane brushed aside the Team Ken Nissan - a 0.148 gap at the finish and the ETs 0.612 and 0.758. That will get Nico sweating again.

No, you're don't have double-vision - both Clive and Mary are running the same Bathurst liveries on their Audis. It was Clive that got the job done - a quick 0.638 against Mary's 0.713 to win by 0.082 seconds.
[attachment=24221]
Into the lower half of the ladder - and second-seed Bill got past Pete by 0.181 seconds. Bill's ET in the DB5 was 0.662 and Pete's a slow 0.816.
[attachment=24222]
The sixth race was a weird one - a huge hole shot for Kev saved his bacon against Jerome. The winning margin was 0.024, but Jerome's ET was quicker - 0.728 to Kev's 0.729. But it's all about who gets to the finish line first - and Kev's Jag goes through to fight again.
[attachment=24223]
No such problems for Iain - the third qualifier beating Pat by a very comfortable 0.230 seconds - the ETs 0.651 and 0.824.
[attachment=24224]
Finally, Andy's ex-police Ford Crown Vic beat Anna's Audi by 0.095 seconds - the ETs 0.644 and 0.722.
Next, some tasty second round and semi-final races...

Micro Scalextric Street Stock Eliminators Round 2 & Semis
Definitely some mouth-watering races coming up, although maybe not the first one...
[attachment=24251]
Unsurprisingly, no need for Nico to worry about this one - his Jag cruised past Rebecca with a 0.079 second win. The ETs were 0.631 and 0.703.
[attachment=24252]
Jane vs Clive was incredibly close - a winning margin of 0.007 seconds. Clive's ET was 0.621 and Jane's 0.622 - but a hole shot for the Nissan meant Jane crossed the line first!
[attachment=24253]
Bill always looked the winner in this one, although Kev was only 0.028 behind at the line - their ETs 0.634 and 0.661.
[attachment=24254]
The last of the second-round races was the closest - a mere 0.001 of a second separating Andy and Iain on the line... Andy's ET was 0.639 and Iain's 0.646 - yet this was another hole shot win, Iain's Porsche hitting that finish line beam a fraction earlier than the Crown Vic.
That meant the semi-final line-up was Bill vs Iain and Nico vs Jane - the top four qualifiers...
[attachment=24255]
This was an exciting race to watch! Nico led from the start, but Jane was closing - a case of who crossed the line first... The scoreboard gave its verdict: Jane by 0.011 of a second - the ETs 0.608 and 0.626, the finish line speeds 7.490 and 7.102 mph.
[attachment=24256]
Remarkably, the winning margin for the second semi was identical - 0.011 seconds. While Iain ran him close, Bill had this under control and led from start to finish. Their ETs were 0.623 and 0.631.
That set up another Bill vs Jane Street Stock final...

Micro Scalextric Street Stock Final
Both Jane and Bill had got the job done in their races so far, but who'd finish up with the winner's medal?
[attachment=24257]
This is what happened...
Bill got a marginally better start...
[attachment=24258]
... but Jane's Nissan was quickest over the final stages...
[attachment=24259]
Giving a close victory of just 0.009 seconds...
[attachment=24260]
Huge congratulations to Jane for another Street Stock win!

Sorry Nico and everyone!
Mrs BARacer is suitably embarrassed to be playing in such exalted company.
And let's not forget, I gave up that chassis after it's mid-table performance in the first ever event as I thought I could find a better one...how do you think I feel every time?
RE: UK HO Drag Proxy - The Inline Show - June 2022 - nkarres - 15th-Jun-22
