NHRA 4-Gear Pro Stock, Pro Mod & Funny Car Eliminators

Five cars gave a slightly lop-sided ladder, with top qualifier Iain having a bye in Round 1.

   

The action started with third and fourth qualifiers Bill and Andy facing off. It was close one - the 0.018 second winning margin going to Bill's Pro Mod. Their ETs were 0.856 and 0.865. Bill would face Iain in the only Round 2 race.

   

Before that, Rebecca and Clive would race for a place in the final. Clive got a great start - or Rebecca a poor one - but the GTX Funny Car overhauled the Pro Stock by the line. Rebecca's won by 0.033 seconds - 0.865 to 0.898.

Who would meet Rebecca in the final round?

   

It would be Iain. A blistering 0.748 gave a gap of 0.081 at the line - most of that achieved in the second half of the strip. Bill's 0.826 was not shoddy, but simply not enough...
