Dave632 vs KStocks, KStocks takes the win with a .5596 26.74 vs .5641 24.18 for the best race so far in VIS. The Camaro jumped to an early lead but the
Mustang went by near the finish for a .01 second win.

D632 vs KS

TQ Gnome runs his first elimination round after getting the bye taking a close win over ECBill .5449 26.95 vs .5533 28.77. Bills 56 Chevy picked up
some performance and was charging hard at the finish but the slower 60' time was just to much to make up and he ran out of track.

Gn vs ECB

Semi final: KStocks gets the bye in the semi due to low ET.

Gnome vs Hairy Canary. This race was the best yet as the Dodge squeaks out another one this time by .006. HC took the early lead and held it to the 660'
mark where Gnome just inched by at the stripe with about a 1.5 mph edge. Great race.

Gn vs HC

Final, Gnome vs KStocks. Gnome and the Dodge take a small lead at the start and then manages to hold on until the finish winning with a .5367 26.95 over a
good .5552 26.53. A lot of very close races in this class as many of the builders are figuring out how to make these cars run.

SS Semi

Super Stock Final:

Pete gets both his cars in the final for a sure win. Which one will it be Ford or Chevy??
The Chevy gets the win with the narrowest of margins .0006. The margin was gained right at the start with a miniscule .0007 hole shot as the Mustang
ran .0001 better in ET. .5414 27.38 vs .5415 28.29. Super final as the Mustang took the early ET lead thru the 60' 330' and the 660 but the extra MPH
of the Chevy was just enough for the win.

SS Final

Congrats to Pete on winning the class and having both cars in the final.

SS winner

Some really close racing, lovin' it!
