Four races in Round Two started with Jane and Sue...

   

Jane had this all the way, but the races are getting closer now - a strong run from Sue limiting the gap to 0.070. Jane clocked 0.630 and Sue 0.701.

   

Bill and Iain provided the closest race so far - running side-by-side down the strip, with Iain just shading it by 0.008 seconds on the line. Their ETs were 0.652 and 0.659. Iain would meet Jane in the semis.

   

The big question was - which Smokey Joe would show itself in this race? Sadly for Jerome, it was the quick one - Jeremy banging in the fastest time of the eliminators so far to win by 0.083 seconds. The ETs were 0.620 and 0.678.

   

Finally, Clive has a less-than-perfect start - allowing Nico to run away with a 0.084 victory. Their ETs were 0.629 and 0.697.

Semi-Finals

First to go for a place in the Street Stock final were Jane and Iain...

   

It was another assured victory for Jane's metronomic Nissan. The margin was 0.059 and the ETs 0.622 and 0.681.

If the result of the first semi was expected, no-one had any idea what would happen in the second race - apart from either Jeremy or Nico would win it...

   

It was super-close, Jeremy having a tiny advantage at half distance. Then one car faded slightly - this time it was Nico who'd faltered, Jeremy getting to the line 0.030 ahead. Jeremy's ET was a rapid 0.627 and Nico's a disappointing 0.659.

Jeremy would meet Jane in the final round...
