Before the T-Jet Nostalgia Super Stock race, it was time for the second round of match racing.

   

First were the NHRA Top Fuelers - another close-run thing between Noah and Dylan. Noah needed to square the match, but missed out by 0.031 of a second, Dylan clocking a 0.768 and Noah a 0.804. That wrapped up the match 2-0.

   

Pete had stepped into the JR Todd NHRA Funny Car to see if he could level the match against Alan's NHRA Pro Stocker. He couldn't - Alan went faster than last night with a 0.870 to win by 0.148 seconds. Another two to zero victory in the match.

   

David was aiming for another 2-0 in Nostalgia Funny Car against Clive's King Cobra Mustang. David's 'Cuda is the car to beat, but Clive couldn't manage it this time - a 0.888 for David and a 0.936 for Clive saw the King Fish 'Cuda win by 0.046 at the end of the strip. Closer than the first run, but not close enough.

   

It looked like our only chance of some third round action was for Doug to beat Rebecca. This he duly did - by a mere 0.005 of a second. The Blue Max Mustang found a 0.837 from somewhere, but it was the reaction time wot won it - Rebecca's Bounty Huntress Mustang clocked 0.832, but Doug got the hole shot win. This match is tied 1-1 and will go to a decider after the T-Jet elimination race...
