Micro Scalextric Street Stock Eliminators - Round One

The first of ten first round races saw top qualifier Jane line up against last-place qualifier Dylan...

   

Dylan's Ford was sluggish off the line and Jane threw down a 0.651 second run to intimidate her rivals. The winning margin was 0.178 seconds, Dylan's ET 0.827.

   

Tenth and eleventh place qualifiers met in the second race - Alan's Audi never got going and Rebecca won by a surprisingly big 0.101 second margin. Their ETs were 0.712 and 0.791.

   

The Audi R8 of third-placed qualifier Clive was on good form, clocking 0.693 and beating Al's Veyron by 0.128 seconds. Al's time was 0.818.

   

Sue had easily outperformed Pete in qualifying. It looked like she'd comfortably won this race too... until Pete's Audi TT found some pace in the closing stages and dipped over the line 0.008 seconds ahead. The ET for the silver TT was 0.742 and the red one 0.759.

   

Jeff had only managed to qualify fourth. His 0.700 run was enough to beat David's Aston Martin by 0.057 seconds.

   

In the final bout of the top half of the ladder, Iain's Jag was run very close by Noah's Ford Focus. The gap was 0.020 seconds with unremarkable ETs of 0.779 and 0.793.

The four races in the second part of the ladder started with Bill vs Doug...

   

Despite being opposite ends of qualifying, it was a little closer than expected - Bill's stocker winning by 0.056 seconds, the ETs 0.699 and 0.759.

   

Laura's Aston Martin saw of Hank's stocker by 0.047 seconds. Her ET was 0.706 to Hank's 0.749.

   

Jeremy's Veyron looked very good in qualifying and he beat Dave's improving stocker by 0.050. That does indeed mean that Jeremy is through to Street Stock Round Two for the first in quite a while (June 2020?). The ETs were 0.664 and 0.707.

   

The final Round One race saw Jerome beat Andy by 0.062 seconds. The orange Veyron clocked 0.682 to Andy's 0.745.
