Match Racing Round Two

The second round of matches started with another routine win for Alan's Bill Jenkins Camaro against Andy's Dick Landy Dodge - in the battle of the Auto World 1970 Legends Pro Stockers...

   

Alan posted a 0.704 and Andy a 0.892. That's a 2-0 win for Grumpy's Toy.

The Corvettes were next and they dished up an incredibly close race...

   

Dylan's stars and Stripes Corvette won, but by only 0.002 of a second! His ET was 0.927, Noah's 0.928 - so close to squaring the match. Dylan caught and passed Noah right on the line. So that's a 2-0 win for Dylan in their final match-race of the Summer Series.

David had a few problems getting off the line last time. He'd won, but wanted to get the most out of his Ford. A little shoe tweak and...

   

David posted a rapid 0.795 to beat Doug's Austin by 0.195 - Doug clocking a 0.972. Result: 2-0 to David.

Last, but not least, we had the two Tycos...

   

Clive got a flier off the line and Andy's car stuttered a little. Clive went through the finish line in 0.523 seconds and 9.358 mph to beat Andy by 0.46 and level the match.

The Tycos will have a decider after the Top Fuel Final.

While we're waiting for the Top Fuelers to warm up, here's a chance to see some exhibition runs from four Chesterfield cars that haven't competed in the Summer Series...

   

Doug can tell you all about them...

   

   

A very big thank you to Doug for sending such a lovely variety of cars down south in May. We didn't know whether the races would work or how many cars there would be. The Chesterfield box gave lots of options for me and hopefully plenty of fun for Doug, David, Noah and Dylan over the past few months.
