Nostalgia Funny Car - Round 1
Round one started with first vs last in qualifying...
Doug's Mustang made a decent account of itself, but Bill's Vega won by 0.087 - the ETs 0.820 and 0.913.
Dylan & Noah's Pontiac was quick - a 0.827 - to beat Iain's 'Cuda by 0.148.
The third race was the pick of the round... Alan's Charger didn't get the best of starts, Sue's Challenger grabbed the lead and they crossed the line pretty close. The scoreboard confirmed Sue had won by 0.019 seconds - the ETs 0.848 and 0.875.
Rebecca saw off David with a routine 0.154 second win. Her ET 0.824.
Finally, Andy's Camaro had an awful run, giving Clive a 0.176 win in what should have been the closest tie of the round. Clive's ET was 0.842.

Nostalgia Funny Car - Rounds 2 & 3
Bill had a bye in round 2 and clocked a 0.837 solo run.
Dylan & Noah faced Sue in the first race. Sue had by far the better start and the two youngsters had to pedal hard to claw their way back. Who'd won? The scoreboard gave it to the Pontiac by 0.14 seconds - the winning ET 0.833. Dylan & Noah would face Bill in the only semi-final.
Rebecca and Clives' Mustangs battled it out to decide who'd go straight to the final from the bottom part of the ladder... It was an incredibly close race - the two running side-by-side down the strip. It looked like Rebecca had the edge... and she had, by a mere 0.007 of a seconds - their ETs 0.833 and 0.840.
Round 3 - semi final
The two classic Aurora-bodied AW chassis lined up and burst down the strip. Bill had a small lead, but the Pontiac closed the gap and overtook... Had the pass happened before the line? It had - Dylan & Noah won by 0.013 seconds - their ET 0.820. A shock defeat for Bill, meaning it's Pontiac vs Ford in the final.

Nostalgia Micro Scalextric 2019
The final action of the weekend will up the pace somewhat. Let's remind ourselves of Friday's qualifying...
Fastest and slowest met in the first of the Round 1 races...
Rebecca shocked the crowd by taking the win by 0.029 - Iain's car just didn't get going... Their ETs were 0.474 and 0.497. Rebecca was straight through to the final!
The second race was close - although it always looked like Bill was ahead. He got through the finish line 0.010 seconds quicker than Clive's Henry J. Their ETs 0.460 and 0.468.
The third and final first round race saw Andy's 'work in progress' Pro-Mod ease past Alan's Corvette by 0.046 seconds - ETs 0.479 to 0.525.
Round 2
Bill lined up against Andy to decide who'd face Rebecca in the final...
This one was another close shave for Bill - 0.004 seconds! Bill's ET 0.460 to Andy's 0.463. Bill had booked himself a spot in the final against the rank outsider...

Nostalgia Final
The second and sixth qualifiers lined up for the final race of the Winter Series...
This is what happened...
No surprises...
Bill got away and stayed ahead...
Winning by 0.029 seconds...
Congratulations to Bill - a great-looking car and the fastest on the strip today...
Here's the ladder...
And here are the stats...
That's your lot for the Winter Series Finale - I hope you've enjoyed it.
The next action on the Eighth Mile is not until 18-19 May... but I will be getting your cars back asap and all the Season 2021-2 regs posted (there aren't really any changes, just a couple of clarifications). There are also two South Coast HO Dragster fanzines to finish and get published. No Rally-Sprint distractions, so expect things done in the next few days.
Meanwhile, here are all this weekend's winners...
