Race One - T-Jet Nostalgia Super Stock
The T-Jets had the honour of taking to the strip for the first elimination race of the Summer Series. The Quarter Finals went to form, with the top four qualifiers comfortably through. In the top half of the ladder, Clive smashed his best qualifying time, getting into the .600s - a first for stock T-Jets on the Eighth Mile. In the bottom half of the ladder, Gareth improved his best time, but was no match for Andy. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s AMX had a slow run, but comfortably beat Dylan in one of the two Willys Coupes.
All the excitement came in the Semi Finals - and the crowd enjoyed those two passes immensely. First up was top qualifier Alan and fourth qualifier Clive. Despite Alan’s sensational run in the final round of qualifying, Clive’s Thunderbolt has come alive in the eliminators. It was anyone’s race. Clive beat Alan off the line by eighth thousandths of a second - and that gap opened up as the Ford pulled away. Although Alan turned a time that beat Clive’s landmark in the Quarters, Clive had gone even quicker in the Semis - a new class record of 0.676 seconds. The most important time was the winning margin - 0.021 seconds.
The second Semi saw another upset, although it wasn’t such a big surprise. Andy’s Thunderbolt put in its best time of 0.743 and although Rebecca improved on her poor Quarter Final run, the second place qualifier was eliminated by 0.019 seconds...
The two Ford Thunderbolts faced off in the Final...
On form, Clive’s Tasca Ford did the job. With the added bonus of a slightly better getaway, the brown and gold car eased further ahead down the seven feet of the strip to beat the Georgia Shaker by a comfortable 0.083 seconds...
The first medal of the event goes to Clive
Here's the T-Jet eliminations ladder...
And the full stats from all seven races...
Finally, for the T-Jets, some video action of the Semis and the Final...
The report of the Micro Scalextric Super Stock action will follow about 7.30pm.
