Pro Stock Eliminators

   

Kev definitely has some work to do on the car - without weight, the guide is lifting out of the slot on the line. With 10g on the hood, it still lifted and the car still veered right... just missing Nico's Road Runner, which was through the finish line in 0.633 seconds. Kev's DNF gave the race to Nico by default.

   

Rebecca beat Iain by 0.114 in the battle of the orange Camaros. Their ETs were 0.648 and 0.764. Iain hasn't quite got his X-Traction chassis on the pace - that's a challenge for later in the year.

   

The third Round 1 race was the close one - between the third and fourth qualifiers. Andy's Rat Pack Camaro got the better of Bill's Motown Missile Dodge - the win margin 0.025 seconds and the ETs 0.651 and 0.633.

Nico had a bye in round 2, with Rebecca and Andy racing for the honour of a place in the final...

   

This was close. Andy's green Camaro got the better start and the Orange California Flash Chevy couldn't make up lost ground. Andy got the win by 0.013 seconds to overturn the qualifying positions and get to the final. The ETs were 0.640 and 0.654.

Nostalgia Pro Stock Final

First qualifier lined up against fourth qualifier...

   

Andy got another great start, okay not quite this far ahead... but that's how my rather excited brain saw it...

   

This is what happened next...




The Road Runner caught the Camaro...

   


But was the pass before, on - or past - the line? That was the question on everyone's lips...

   

The scoreboard said Andy by 0.002 seconds - and a holeshot win to add salt to Nico's wounds!

I'm not sure anyone saw that coming, least of all me...

   

Here's the Pro Stock ladder...

   

And the stats from both qualifying and the elimination races...

       

Another pause and then I'll be back with match racing (Nico's car has new pick-ups and works fine) - plus a busy afternoon and evening of Micro Scalextric racing.
