Next up was the T-Jet Super Stock race with a more traditional two semis and a final. There were no surprises in the first round, leaving the George Shaker Thunderbolt and the red Corvette in the final - the Ford setting a blisteringly quick ET to qualify...

   

It was a sensational final. The two cars set exactly the same ET of 0.759 seconds, but with the Corvette getting off the line 0.001 quicker, it was first across the finish sensors for the narrowest victory...

   

And here's the complete ladder for the T-Jets...

   

   

The excitement of the T-Jet final was equalled in the second match race. Spencer's orange FRAM dragster was first to move, but then got bogged down, allowing Brandon to explode down the first half of the run with much improved pace. However, the FRAM machine picked up to get to the finish line 0.008 seconds ahead. Brandon's blue top fueler had a fractionally faster ET, but Spencer had won the race with the hole shot - in the eliminator it's all about getting to the finish first.

Match Race #2
Spencer Massey: RT 0.653 / ET 0.740 / MPH 8.074
Brandon Bernstein: RT 0.663 / ET 0.738 / MPH 9.024

Tough luck on Brandon, who just missed out on squaring the match - the final race of three will be all about pride.
