Street Stock Round Three + Semi-final

Either Clive or Jeff would face Jane in the semi-final. Both the Audi R8s were getting quicker, so would it be white or black?

   

Jeff's R8 absolutely nailed the run - his ET of 0.646 the fastest of the eliminators so far, beating Clive by 0.012 of a second. Clive's ET was his best of the event at 0.660 - you can't ask more than that.

Essential a semi-final in itself was the third round race between Bill and Jerome - the winner would get a bye in the next round and go straight to the final.

   

This was a thriller! Bill's stocker was out of the blocks first, but Jerome's orange Veyron caught up. Who'd crossed the line first? By 0.008 of a second... it was Bill. Jerome's ET was quicker - 0.685 to 0.687 - but Bill had the holeshot win and was going to the final...

...where he'd meet the winner of Jane vs Jeff...


   

And this race was even closer. Off the line together, running side-by-side down the strip and neck-and-neck through the finish line... All eyes went to the result screen - the winning margin was 0.004 seconds and the narrowest of wins for Jane. Their ETs were 0.650 and 0.655.

The top two qualifiers were through to the final...
