There were two more qualifying runs for the other cars...

       

And that was it for the day. Here were the top qualifiers...

   

The Keith Moon Nissan added top spot in Super Stock to top qualifier in Street Stock. No problems with any front end lift on the big tyres - unlike some of the other cars...

   

Prince's little red Corvette went much better once the traction magnet was replaced - although the 0.888 and 0.862 were achieved with no magnet, just front end ballast. The chassis under the Corvette is from the yellow club car on the bullring. It could be a very close run thing tomorrow if the Thunderbolt and Corvette meet in the finals. The other two cars struggled with power, traction and lifting front ends. Not a good combination.

   

The two Auto World Top Fuelers looked great, but the Brandon Bernstein Copart crew have some serious work to do overnight to get on the pace of Spencer Massey's FRAM machine. The orange dragster was the fastest thing at the end of the strip all day with a massive 10.958 mph in the third run, but only a 0.710 ET - these things take a few feet to really get going.

And here's footage of the very first competitive run on the Rock County Eighth Mile...




That run was a very modest start - a 0.801 and 0.769 - but things got much quicker as the afternoon went on.

Tomorrow afternoon is the Eliminator competition. Tune in about 2pm for action from the Micro Scalextric Super Stock ladder.
