Nostalgia 4-Gear Funny Car Eliminators

A full eight-car line-up gave us four Round One races...

   

Top qualifier Iain dispatched Clive's Mustang by 0.312 seconds. Their ETs were 0.705 and 0.809.

   

Fourth vs fifth qualifier was closer - Rebecca's Mustang beating Andy's Pontiac by 0.030 seconds. The ETs 0.802 and 0.815.

   

Bill's Vega finished 0.133 seconds ahead of Jerome's Challenger. Their ETs 0.727 and 0.850.

   

Finally for Round One, Nico's Vega beat Ken's 'Cuda by 0.126 seconds - 0.737 to 0.854.

The Semi Finals began with Iain and Rebecca...

   

As expected, this was a routine win for our top qualifier - the winning margin 0.105 seconds and the ETs 0.705 to 0.809.

   

The second semi was incredibly close! The crowd had no idea who'd won it... until the scoreboard showed victory for Bill by 0.003 of a second - 0.732 to 0.739.

The top two qualifiers would contest the final...

   

And this is what happened...



It was neck-and-neck in the early stages...

   

Until Iain powered his way across the line...

   

A 0.034 second margin at the end...

   

Congrats to Iain, who finally gets into victory lane...

   

Here's the ladder...

   

And here are the stats...

   

I'm going to get qualifying done for the remaining two classes - Super Stock 6.0 and NHRA 4-Gear. I'll then run the races about 8.30... Super Stock will go first - 4-Gear could be one for the night owls.
