Match-Racing Round One

We started slow, with the AFX 3-Gear Funny cars of Dylan and Noah...

   

Dylan's 'Cuda won the first round by 0.084 seconds - his ET was 1.077 to Noah's 1.154 and speeds were 4.972 to 4.679 mph. Can Noah's Pinto square up the match tomorrow afternoon?

Next, we stepped up a few gears and doubled the speed - the new Micro Scalextric 2019 Nostalgia cars took to the track...

   

Alan's white Corvette was matched with Iain's Ford in the first race. Their first run was very close - Alan winning by 0.015 seconds. Alan was quickest off the line and their ETs were very close - the Corvette's 0.439 to 0.444 for the Ford. Iain edged it on speed - 10.927 through the speed traps, Alan managing 10.606 mph.

   

Bill's red Corvette was away quickest, but it was neck-and-neck at the line... Bill broke the sensors just 0.005 of a second ahead - his ET 0.455 and Clive's 0.461. Speed for the Corvette was 10.653 mph, the reading for the Henry J 8.878 - but I think the sensors were confused by the wheelie bar. It looked quicker than that!

The second round races will start the action tomorrow afternoon.
