Round Two

Jane took no chances and set a blistering 0.609 to beat Dave by 0.109 seconds - not a bad second round winning margin!

   

Hank and Gareth gave us a predictably close race - the blue stocker winning by 0.030, Hank clocking 0.646 and Gareth 0.678. The pace of Alan's Audi R8 was holding up - a 0.625 pass giving Rebecca no chance, despite a quick 0.684 from the Porsche.

The question on everyone's lips was whether Andy Phillips could record yet another giant killing...

   

It looked very possible in the first half of the strip, but Clive's Audi eked out a 0.28 gap by the end. His sigh of relief was audible all the way down the eighth mile.

In the bottom half of the draw, Noah pushed Bill closer than expected, but the green stocker came across the line 0.40 seconds ahead. Laura won Street Stock on debut back in August. Her Aston Martin was favourite, especially after getting away from the line first...

   

However, Sue's Audi gained ground all the way down the strip and won by 0.016 seconds to set-up a showdown with Bill for an automatic place in the final.

Here are all the stats from Round Two...
