Iain - absolutely! It was an unfortunate error... Those wheels do look great, but slightly skinnier tyres are needed. It was very quick!

Nostalgia T-Jet Eliminators
Top qualifier Iain had a bye in Round One - the first race was between Ken and Rebecca...
[attachment=17776]
This was close - Ken starting well but fading at the end. Rebecca closed the gap, but not quickly enough - Ken's winning margin was 0.036 seconds. The ETs 0.765 and 0.783.
[attachment=17777]
Andy gave Bill a good run, but the Torino won by 0.045 seconds. Their ETs were 0.806 and 0.846.
The sole Round Two race was between Iain and Ken - and would decide who'd meed Bill in the final...
[attachment=17778]
The form was turned on its head here - Ken's Challenger put together a sensational run and set a time Iain would have been delighted by. The Chevy was sluggish off the line and took time to get going. Ken won by 0.073 seconds - the ETs 0.675 and 0.745. Definitely one of the quickest T-Jet runs we've seen.
That gives an all North American final...
[attachment=17779]
And this is what happened...
Ken bossed the start...
[attachment=17780]
And the entire strip...
[attachment=17781]
A great win...
[attachment=17782]
Huge congrats to Ken on his first RCR medal win...

[attachment=17790]
The two second-gen Camaros looked great at the start. They ran close, until Rebecca showed Ken a clear pair of heels - winning by 0.097 seconds. The ETs were 0.662 and 0.757. Rebecca would face Nico in the final...

[attachment=17800]
As expected, this was a routine win for our top qualifier - the winning margin 0.105 seconds and the ETs 0.705 to 0.809.
[attachment=17801]
The second semi was incredibly close! The crowd had no idea who'd won it... until the scoreboard showed victory for Bill by 0.003 of a second - 0.732 to 0.739.
The top two qualifiers would contest the final...
[attachment=17802]
And this is what happened...
It was neck-and-neck in the early stages...
[attachment=17803]
Until Iain powered his way across the line...
[attachment=17804]
A 0.034 second margin at the end...
[attachment=17805]
Congrats to Iain, who finally gets into victory lane...
[attachment=17806]
Here's the ladder...
[attachment=17807]
And here are the stats...
[attachment=17808]
I'm going to get qualifying done for the remaining two classes - Super Stock 6.0 and NHRA 4-Gear. I'll then run the races about 8.30... Super Stock will go first - 4-Gear could be one for the night owls.
