Next up are Joe65skylarkGS and Eddiebee. Joe puts his bright yellow Willys in the beams and is ready to go,Eddie takes his time staging and finally gets it in the lights. Joe is out first with the Vega hot on his tail. At half way the Willys is leading, but the Vega isn't showing any signs of letting up. through the lights and it's Joe's Willy's taking the win with Eddies Vega right on his back bumper. They'll come back and try it again. Joe's confident, he drives right up and stages it, Eddie follows suit. The lights come down and Eddie jumps the gun and turns on the red! Joe and his Willy's move on to next round. On the line now are 79malibu and SJracer. Malibu puts screaming yellow Nova in the lights just as SJ stages his orange AMX. The AMX is out first, the Nova tries but just can't catch the bright orange AMC but to no avail, SJ gets the first one. At the line again, the lights come down, Malibu pushes his luck and gets the jump on the AMX. But the mean tangerine is too strong and powers by the Nova to move to the next round.

Now on the line is Nosubfor3's red pro stock Vega and on the other side is Camaroguy327's orange Vega pro stock. Both cars pull into the lights and stage. At the hit of the green Nosub is out with Camaroguy in tow. Nosub pulls away to take the light. They swap lanes and come to the line again. Nosub's Vega is out first and powers away to take the win.
Last pair in round one puts Ninja in his blown 57 up against Pceng in his blown Vette. Ninja moves first at the green, but Pceng is on a mission. he catches Ninja at half track and continues on to take the light. Back to the starting line they come, a quick lane change and they're ready to go. this time it's all Pceng, wire to wire. Ninja's big Chevy didn't have quite enough in her to catch the little Vette That it for the first round.

Pc is able to pull a half a car on Joe at three quarters of the track. At the light it's Pc by half a car. They'll come back to the starting line, line up at go at it again. They swap lanes, take their time to stage. The lights come down, Pc is out first again,Joe comes on strong they're almost even at the half way mark. Through the lights they go and Pc gets the win by a wisker. That was a race!
Last up is Nosub in his Vega pro stock and in the other lane is SJ racer with his AMX. Both cars take their time staging in, at the green SJ moves first, Nosub is right on it too.They're dead even at the half way point. Through the lights they go. Nosub is able to pull it out on the top end. They'll come back and go again. SJ quick stages, Nosub takes his time, both cars are in. The tree goes green, Nosub is out first, but SJ is right there.They stay that way all the way down track.Through the lights they go. Nosub gets the win by a fender.

Semi Final. Pceng get the bye so that means that Nosub will face Wood. Wood pulls up to the line followed by Nosub. Both cars are on the edge. the lights come down. Wood is out first, Nosub has it on the floor but there's no way he can catch the black Willys. Wood takes the first one. They circle back to the starting line, swap lanes and stage in. This time Nosub takes the light, but by half track Wood has him and goes around him to take the win.

Final Round. This one is for all the marbles. PC and his blown Vette and Wood with his nasty black Willys. Both drivers take their time staging up. The tree is activated, the lights come down They're off. The Willys jumps off the line, the Vette leaves hard too. By the half way mark the Willys has a car legenth. By the time they get to the lights the Willys has two car legenths and is still pulling strong. give that one to Wood. Back to the starting line they come. They trade lanes, line up,the revs come up, the lights go down! PC has a slight advantage off the line but its gone by the half way mark. The Willys is just a beast! There's nothing PC can do, Wood wins it going away! Wood is your Winter Nationals Sportsman Eliminations Champ.
