Veteran Inline Stock Semi Final:

HairyCanary and his Yellow Trans Am vs KStocks and his green Mustang first up in the semi's.
This should be a good one as they were thousandths apart in the last round.
The Trans Am makes it best run so far as it hits a .5403 26.53 to the Mustangs .5650 26.22 as the
Mustang slowed slightly for a win margin of .0267.

Semi HairyCanary vs KStocks

Next up we have a mild upset as Al Pink and his Buick takes out the #1 qualifier with the Buicks best
run of .5374 26.53 over Hairy Canary's TQ car which ran a little off hitting .5566 25.83 for a .181 victory margin.

Semi AlPink vs Hairy Canary

Veteran Inline stock FINALS:

Here we go with the final run, both cars have been running some great times so it's pretty much a flip of the coin.
The Pontiac moves first and gets to the 60' mark .0112 ahead, increasing the lead to .0187at the 330 mark. Now the Buick
is closing the gap to .0167 at the 660 and making a finish line charge. The Buick keeps closing but it is not enough as
the Trans Am finishes with a margin of .0124 running it's best time of the day .5381 26.74 over the Buicks .5502 27.60.
Great race and congratulations to the finalists and Hairy Canary for the win.

Final - Hairy Canary vs Al Pink

Next up Eric Petersen and his Plymouth GTX vs Gnome and his green/silver Camaro.
The Camaro gives a good account of itself running a .4371 36.46 but it is not enough
as the Plymouth hits a great time of .4007 37.67.

Inline 2.5Rnd 2 Eric Petersen vs Gnome

I am giving the bye to Eric in the semis so he only has to face one of my cars.

The next race has occurred on my track several times and there is no sure winner.
The last time the 55 Chevy won but that is history. Here we go.

The 55 Chevy takes it in a close race as the truck slowed slightly from its last run.
The 55 ran .3887 37.67 vs .3979 35.70, that sets up the final.

Inline 2.5 Semi Dave 632 vs hisself

This should be a good final the 55 has the edge but we race on the track not on paper.

The winner is...….WOW another great final Dave632 and his 55 Chevy gets the win with a .3928 37.06 in a close one with a win margin
of only .0055. Erics GTX runs it's best time of the meet breaking into the .3s hitting a .3976 37.67. At the 60' the 55
had a .0016 lead extending it to .0056 at the 330 and .0058 at the 660 or in other words just staying ahead, the GTX
closed the gap just slightly to .0055 but it was not enough. Super race.

Inline 2.5 Final Dave632 vs Eric Petersen

Your cars ran great, those are my two quickest 2.5 cars and you ran right with them. Remember this is my home track, I run best here and 37 MPH is really flying. All the top cars were in the 35-38 MPH range. That class has really improved over what it was in the past. Great show Eric.
On another note are you having all kinds of trouble with the SCI site? I did not even put the results of the race in there since it is such a nightmare.
