The semi final should have decided who met the top qualifier - but it was most likely deciding who'd win the race... unless Pete pulled off something utterly miraculous!

   

This was incredibly close... Side-by-side and a winning margin of 0.006 seconds. The win went to Jane - who managed her best run of the eliminators, a 0.611. Kev's time dropped off to 0.617. This is already becoming quite a rivalry. But it left Jane with one more race...

This Street Stock competition has been rather unusual. We're getting used to the top two qualifiers marching through to the final. Not this time...

   

This is what happened...



That looks fairly comprehensive, even at normal speed. A good start...

   

And a fast run...

   

With the result never in doubt...

   

Congrats to Pete for reaching the final, but the winner's medal goes to Jane...

   

Here's the ladder...

   

And all the stats from the Street Stock elimination rounds...

   

That's it for this fifteenth event on the Rock County Eighth Mile. The next is over the weekend of 12-13 March. Then we'll have three more mid-week races in 2022, giving what I hope will remain a regular spring-summer-autumn-winter schedule. More about that soon!
