Micro Scalextric Super Stock 6.0 - Elimination rounds

The first of today's Micro Scalextric classes is the ultra-fast Super-Stock 6.0.

Round One of the eliminators saw twelve cars lined-up, with the top and bottom qualifiers going first...

   

Rebecca comfortably beat Andy Phillip's Mini - although the pick-up remains one of the best looking cars in the line-up. The winning margin was 0.211 seconds and the ETs 0.446 and 0.649.

The second race was between the sixth and seventh qualifiers...

   

And it was a close one! At the end, Clive's white Nissan was ahead of Andy Player's green one by 0.009 seconds - their ETs 0.505 and 0.511.

Dropping down to the bottom half of the ladder saw Bill meet Jeremy...

   

A huge upset for Jeremy? Bill's run was a below-par 0.498 and Jeremy got a better start... However, it was the second place qualifier who got to the line 0.012 seconds ahead - Jeremy's 0.507 run wasn't quite enough.

Next were Alan and Jane...

   

Alan's Mercedes was just too good - a 0.039 winning margin and the ETs were 0.469 and 0.508.

Third place qualifier Pete was next - up against Ken...

   

Crazy Ivan got the job done with a 0.466 and a 0.055 second winning margin. Ken's ET was 0.522.

Finally for Round 1, it was Iain and Nico - fourth vs ninth...

   

Nico's Ferrari went sub-0.500 with a 0.499, but Iain was comfortably through to the second round with a 0.035 win and an ET of 0.465.
