Match Racing - Round 2

Five second round matches started with Pro Stock Magna / Xtractions - Alan and Clive went first...

   

This time, Alan's Camaro hooked things up properly at the start - a 0.657 second run gave him a 0.165 win. He also pushed his speed up to 8.838 mph through the line. Clive's ET was slower than before - 0.819, with 7.035 mph recorded. This one will go to a decider - now re-scheduled for tomorrow, between the pancake races.

Next were Iain and Nico, with the Petty Charger 1-0 up in this match...

   

It was another sizzling run for Nico - 0.574 seconds. He's found one quick AW chassis! The winning margin was 0.190, with Iain's Camaro clocking 0.742. Their speeds were 10.227 and 7.164 mph. That's the match: 2-0 to Nico.

The third pair of Pro Stockers were the two new AW Camaros...

   

This one was soooo close. The cars passed through the finish line side-by-side - Trackmate giving the race to Rebecca's 'California Flash' by 0.004 seconds. The ETs were 0.672 and 0.676 seconds. Rebecca wins the match 2-0.

And now the Nostalgia Micro Scalextric cars, starting with Bill and Alan...

   

Alan's Corvette grabbed the win by 0.021 to set up another match race decider tomorrow. The ETs were 0.424 and 0.435 - their speeds exactly the same as Round 1.

Finally for tonight's match-racing, there was Iain and Rebecca...

   

This was another win for Iain's Ford - he's managed to wring some impressive pace out of it... maybe in touching distance of breaking the 0.400 second mark? The ETs were 0.411 and 0.463 - the winning margin 0.048 seconds. Iain wins the match 2-0.

The first round of Street Stock Eliminators will follow in about half an hour.
