Street Stock Rounds 3 & 4

   

Round Three started with a comfortable win for Jane, beating Pete by 0.093 seconds, their ETs 0.618 and 0.700 seconds. Jane was back near her scintillating qualifying pace of yesterday.

   

Bill and Clive served up a classic - side-by-side down the strip, Clive just edged it by 0.012 seconds at the finish line sensors. Clive’s ET was 0.639 and Bill’s 0.653.

   

The winner of the race between Hank and Laura would go straight to the final. Second qualifier lined up against fourth qualifier - and our winner last month. This one was all about the start… It was Laura’s Aston Martin that got a 0.007 second jump on Hank’s stocker and that was the gap right down the strip - the winning margin for Laura 0.011 seconds. Laura’s ET was 0.674 and Hank’s 0.678.

   

Who would meet Laura in the final? Clive was hopeful, but Jane’s Nissan was just too quick. The winning margin 0.017 - Clive running a 0.642, but Jane’s 0.624 was a near perfect pass.

Here are the stats...

   

That gives two previous winners in the final, both running hand-me-down machinery. Which one will become a two-time Street Stock winner? We’ll find out in about half an hour….
