Auto World Top Fuel Match Racing Round Two

   

In the battle of the youngsters, Noah was a whole tenth of a second quicker - but Dylan improved too. Dylan's Alanabi dragster won by 0.172 seconds to close out the match 2-0. Their ETs were 0.987 and 1.152.

   

Alan wanted to square the match after Clive's win yesterday. The white Matco Tools machine got a great start again, but the orange and gold Al's Garage dragster finished strongly, overtaking through the line... Who crossed first? The gap was 0.009 seconds and Clive had the win to take the match 2-0. The ETs were an incredibly close 0.715 to 0.717.

   

Rebecca also needed a win to take her match with Andy into a deciding run. However, Andy's FRAM dragster was too strong - winning by 0.116 seconds to wrap up the match. The ETs 0.718 to 0.836.

The course officials offered Clive and Andy a winner-takes-all run-off, but they declined - deciding to keep their powder dry for the big Top Fuel competition at the season finale in March. It should be an exciting one!
