Nostalgia Micro Scalextric 2019 Eliminators

Apologies for the slight delay. Let's get cracking with the first of three Micro Scalextric classes...

   

First vs last is never very interesting is it? Bill threw down an extremely rapid 0.437 second run, but Kev beat him by 0.001 of a second! A very slight body-mount adjustment transformed Kev's Firebird and delivered a 0.435 - and he's through to the final. The TQ is out.

   

By comparison, this was routine - a 0.023 second win for Iain... the Ford clocking 0.446 and Rebecca's Merc 0.470.

   

Third vs fourth was close - 0.003 seconds at the finish line. This one went to Andy's hastily assembled Camaro - a 0.460 to Nico's 0.462. Breathtaking stuff.

Kev waited on the winner of the semi-final shoot-out...

   

Iain got there 0.020 seconds ahead. His ET 0.442 still slower than Kev's giant-killing run. Andy managed some consistency with a 0.461.

Nostalgia Micro Scalextric 2019 Final

No-one would have predicted this line-up...

   

And this is what happened...



What happened? Well, something like this...

   

A good start for both cars, possibly a small lead for Kev? Then Iain found more speed through the line...

   

And that meant a 0.011 second win...

   

Almost the recovery of the century for Kev's Firebird, but it was Iain's Ford that made it to Victory Circle...

   

We did get to see a lot of that lovely Ford Coupe. Here's the ladder...

   

And data from qualifying and the elimination races...

       

Super Stock 6.0 is next...
