Match Racing - Round 1

First to go were Sue and Alan with their Nostalgia Funny Cars...

   

Alan took the win by 0.051 seconds - their ETs 0.810 and 0.865. Sue has the chance of revenge tomorrow afternoon. Don't forget, if you have cars you want to match-race that aren't in the main classes, let me know. I am sure we can put something together - although cars on the slower end of the spectrum are probably best with that short shutdown.

Next up were the super-quick Micro 2019 cars with their Nostalgia bodies. Alan's beautifully repainted 'Vette faced Iain's '32 Ford hot rod...

   

This was incredibly quick and amazingly close - the winning margin just 0.005 seconds. It was the Ford that poked its nose over the finish line first. Alan got a nice hole shot, but it wasn't enough. The ETs were 0.449 and 0.459. Alan clocked 10.985 mph through the speed trap, Iain 10.146 mph.

The last Round 1 race of the evening was Rebecca's Mercury hot rod against Bill's Corvette...

   

The 'Vette had this under control all the way down the strip - winning by 0.028 seconds, the ETs 0.448 and 0.481. Bill matched Alan's speed - 10.985 through the line.

Round 2 will follow tomorrow afternoon, with any Round 3 deciders the first action of the evening.
