Nostalgia 4-Gear Funny Car Eliminators

Eight cars gave us a perfect ladder - four round 1 races, two semis and the final.

It all started with Alan and Iain...

   

As expected from their qualifying performances, Iain won by 0.406 seconds - their ETs 0.669 and 1.071.

Next was the fourth vs fifth place showdown...

   

Sue's white Dodge was away quickest, but Andy's Pontiac closed down the gap and finished 0.041 seconds ahead - the ETs 0.809 and 0.853.

Second place qualifier Nico lined up against Clive in the third race...

   

It was comfortable run for Nico, winning by 0.302 - his ET 0.718 to Clive's 1.009.

Finally for the first round, Rebecca faced Rose...

   

It was another comfortable win - this time 0.205 seconds. The ETs were 0.760 and 0.950.


The first semi-final was between Iain and Andy...

   

Iain took the win by 0.158 - his ET 0.676, Andy's 0.815.

Who'd meet Iain in the final?

   

This one was closer... Nico pulling out a 0.053 gap by the finish to take the win. Their ETs were 0.719 and 0.770. That put Nico into a final at his first event!


The two cars lined up for the final...

   

And this is what happened...




They were neck-and-neck to begin with...

   

... but then Iain just started to pull ahead...

   

It was a close one...

   

Congrats to Iain on another pancake win!

   

Here's the 4-Gear ladder...

   

And all the stats from the eliminators...

   

That's it for the racing this time - I hope you've enjoyed it. Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone who took part - especially to Bill, who had the frustration of his pancake cars being delayed in the postal system.

When Bill's cars arrive, they will do a little match-racing - which I'll post on this thread.

I will aim to get cars away asap - especially any overseas cars that need a trip back to base before September.
