Nostalgia Funny Car 4-Gear eliminators

   

Top qualifier Iain crushed the Snake in race one. The gap back to Ken was 0.477 seconds - the ETs 0.696 and 1.144.

   

It was also a convincing win for Bill against Jerome - 0.234 seconds. Bill was close to Iain's ET with a 0.707, Jerome's Ramcharger putting in a 0.935.

   

The third and final Round 1 race was a much closer affair - Rebecca beating Andy by 0.034 seconds. The Bounty Huntress clocking 0.821 to the Pontiac's 0.843. Probably nothing for Bill to worry about...

   

And indeed it wasn't. Bill's Vega beat the 'Stang by 0.094 seconds to tie up a showdown with Iain in the final. His ET was 0.728, Rebecca's 0.813.

Again, the top two qualifiers lined up...

   

And this is what happened...



Oops, I must have knocked the camera. So this is what happened...

   

It was pretty even at the start, the Vega even getting a slight lead...

   

Only for Iain's Whipple & McCulloch 'Cuda to steam through to the line. Okay, the winning margin wasn't quite that big - 0.039 seconds... which for the pancake cars ain't much at all.

So congratulations to Iain on a second pancake win of the day. He has these cars sussed...

   

Here's the Funny Car ladder...

   

And here are the stats...

   

I'll take a break now and return with Match Racing Round 2 and Micro Scalextric Super Stock 6.0 around 7.45-ish.
