Carried over from last night were the NHRA Top Fuel match races...

   

Dylan and Noah renewed their fraternal rivalry, with Noah taking the first round by 0.067 in the Optima dragster. His ET was 0.751 to Dylan's 0.821 in the Alanabi dragster.

Clive's new Antron Brown Matco Tools dragster took the first race against Andy's FRAM dragster by 0.023 seconds - 0.746 to 0.763.

Either side of the dragsters we had three pairs of exhibition runs...

   

First was Clive's lovely Austin on a hot pancake chassis. I'd like to hear more about it - the car ran 0.646 and 0.591, with 8.207 mph recorded at the end of the second run.

   

Bill's Pro Mod Camaro looked sensational and was very rapid on the modified 3-ohm Micro Scalextric chassis. It ran 0.411 and 0.408, with 11.364 mph recorded both times. The mechanicals are probably too esoteric and too rapid for the strip (although it stopped fine in the shut down). However, I like the idea of the 4-Gear bodies on a Micro Scalextric chassis...

   

Next it was a run for a new 2019 9-volt Micro Scalextric car with the N20 mini can. Straight out of the My First Scalextric set, it ran 0.469 and 0.468 with 10.552 mph recorded. Swap the body for an old-school 4-Gear shell of your choice, do we have a relatively straightforward new Nostalgia class?
