Micro Scalextric Street Stock Eliminators - Round One

We are well used to the twenty car ladder now. First up are the top and bottom qualifiers...

   

Doug saved his best time for when it didn't matter. His 0.761 narrowed the win margin to only 0.116 seconds. Jane's ET 0.644.

   

This was the first round race everyone was waiting for - Rebecca and Jeremy had set identical qualifying times. Despite a strong finish from the Veyron, Rebecca won by 0.014 - her ET 0.739 to Jeremy's 0.742.

   

Third qualifier Bill comfortably beat Al by 0.104 seconds - ETs 0.670 to 0.774.

   

Next was Audi TT vs Audi TT - Sue vs Pete. It was much closer than expected, but it went with qualifying form - Sue winning by 0.010 seconds, 0.712 to 0718.

   

Jerome was eyeing up a change of car this month, but his Veyron is on top form. He beat David's DBR9 by 0.070 - 0.685 to 0.758.

   

The last race in the top half of the ladder saw Alan clock 0.667 and beat Noah by 0.080. Noah's time was 0.744.

   

Second qualifier Clive began the second half of the ladder with a comfortable 0.117 second win over Dylan. The Audi's ET was 0.650, the Ford's 0.764.

   

Jeff only qualified ninth, but ended Dave's challenge with a 0.059 second win - ETs 0.671 to 0.726.

   

Hank qualified fifth and should have had a comfortable run against Laura... it didn't turn out that way. Side-by-side down the strip, the result was a 0.001 second win for Hank - 0.713 to 0.714 with equal reaction times and speeds through the finish line. Unlucky Laura!

   

The final first round race saw Iain dispatch Andy's Alfa by 0.050 seconds - the ETs 0.704 to 0.744.
