The Micro Scalextric Super Stockers were first on track. The Quarter Finals went to form, with the top four qualifiers all going through. As predicted, the gaps are getting tighter - 0.059, 0.032 and 0.030 - with everyone below 0.700 seconds and Alan the quickest at 0.618. Top Qualifier Iain had a bye run.

   

The first Semi Final was an all-Jaguar affair. The Jags were sensationally fast - Alan hooked up a 0.592 to beat Iain by 0.020 seconds and set a new class record. Iain’s 0.612 was just 0.002 off his top qualifying time. For the third time in three events, the Super Stock top qualifier fell to the fourth place qualifier.

   

The second Semi was a battle of the Nissans. Rebecca’s Sanditon Motorsport car was off the line first, but Andy picked up the pace to win by 0.017 seconds. The times for these two previous race winners were nothing special - 0.652 and 0.668.

   

It was looking good for Alan and the Hot Mustard Jaguar in the final. At the start, the Jag was quick off the line and held its pace down the track. Andy’s Nissan had a better run and was finishing strongly, but ended up 0.017 of a second behind Alan. The times were quick - a 0.602 for Alan and 0.627 for Andy.

       

You can see from the video footage it was all about the start...



And here's the full ladder...

   

Finally, the Hot Mustard Jag gets into Victory Lane and a win for Alan makes the championship tables very close for the final two rounds of the Summer Series.
