4Gear Stock Round 1 Eliminations continued.
Race 6 Jbailey vs Comet This was the Chargers from the green light. The Jegs Avenger stuttered for the first 60' and that's all it took for JB to get out on him. 1.1321et to Comet 1.2579et
Race 7 Dynomike vs Kstocks This is the battle of the Grand Ams. Dynomike gets out first at the hit and shows Kstocks his tail lights. 1.0142et to 1.3710et
Race 8 Hairy Canary vs Alpink Both cars are on their number but the Cuda has the power today and puts the Stubebaker on the trailer. .9447et to 1.6456et
Race 9 Skillet vs Jbailey What a great race! These cars were glued together at every interval. The Mustang had the lead the whole way and the Charger clips him at the finish. 1.1401et to 1.1440et .0074WM
Race 10 Dave632 vs Skillet The Avenger is very slow to get off the line but is still able to get the job done and turn on the win light. The Cuda is dragging something in the front of the car. Dave632 1.3241 to Skillet 1.3658et
Race 11 Ecbill vs Smokinvinnie The blue Cuda slows but lays down a solid run while the Grand Am let the smoke out of the motor at 660'. He is done. Ecbill goes to Round 2 .9820et to DNF

4 Gear Stock Round 2 Eliminations
Race 12 Swiftkart vs Kstocks The Camry blisters the track and lowers fastest ET of event and sets a new track record! The Duster makes it's best run in a losing effort. Swiftkart .8354et to Kstocks 1.1088et
Race 13 Mazda vs Finistauri Wow!! Holeshot win goes to the Mustang. This was pretty huge especially on a simultaneous switch. Mazda gets out first and is able to hang on till the end. The '57 was rollin' though and 1 more inch and the race was his. Mazda holeshot win with slower .9838et to Finistauri faster .9710et .0003 WM
Race 14 Ecbill vs Pete Something happened to the Kiwi Challenger?? It slows waaay down and gives the race to Pete. Nothing visibly wrong and the car has been sitting still since Qualifying. Pete slows slightly but will capitalize on Bill's misfortune and move on. 1.1363et to 1.2119et
Race 15 Pennywize619 vs Gnome The lights drop and they leave together. The Dodge is the quicker car today and will be going to the Quarter Finals. Pennywize improved from last round but is headed to the grandstands. .9352et to 1.1155et
Race 16 Swiftkart vs Jbailey JB lays down his best ET against the #2 Qualifier but it is still not near enough. The JFR Mus......uh....Camaro  easily takes the win light. .9000et to 1.1281et
Race 18 Dynomike vs Hairy Canary The Cuda was ordering a pizza when the green light came on. Dyno flies off the line....runs his best ET....and almost gets the job done! But HC gets up on the tire and drives around him at the stripe. What a race! .9912et to 1.0070et
Race 18 Hairy Canary vs Skillet The faster cars seems to be slowing and the slower cars seem to be faster for this round?? The LA Hooker slows but is still able to get the win and move on. Skillet runs his best ET. HC .9425et to Skillet 1.1380et
Race 19 Dave632 vs Ecbill The flamed blue Cuda slowed slightly last round but seems to have found the performance again and sends Dave's slowing Avenger to the trailer. .9340et to 1.1013et

Track was cleaned before this round. Track and new power supplies have performed flawlessly. I am super happy with them!
4 Gear Stock Quarter Final Eliminations
Quarter Final 1 Swiftkart vs Mazda Track crews are putting out the fire because the Camry lights it up and lowers all the numbers again! The Mustang had a good run through eliminations but is going home. Swiftkart .8287et to Mazda .9933
Quarter Final 2 Pete vs Gnome Pete's Duster sounded rough during the burnout. He makes it down but slows through the traps. Gnome lays down his best ET to get to the Semis. .9216et to 1.2718et
Quarter Final 3 Swiftkart vs Hairy Canary HC found some lost performance from last round but not enough to get past the Camaro. Swiftkart slows but still puts HC on the trailer and goes to the Semis. .9171et to .9548et
Quarter Final 4 Hairy Canary vs Ecbill These teo wanted this one in a bad way! Ecbill's Cuda runs his best ET and barely hangs on for the win. Hairy Canary was coming and almost got him! Awesome race! .9224et to .9258et WM .0042

4 Gear Stock Semi Final Eliminations
Semi Final 1 Swiftkart vs Gnome Gonna be a tough task for Gnome to get by that Camry. It's running on mean today. The Garlits Charger puts down a solid pass but Swiftkart will find himself in the Finals. .8371et to .9268et
Semi Final 2 Swiftkart vs Ecbill The Cuda is getting faster and the Camaro has been getting slower. Can Ecbill get it done? The Cuda drops his number again and sends Swiftkarts #2 car home. The Camaro's performance has been slowing every round which resulted in that loss. Ecbill is in the Finals! .9200et to .9455et

4 Gear Stock Finals
Final Swiftkart vs Ecbill And then there were two. It looks pretty cut and dry. The Camry has been nothing short of astounding all day. Could Ecbill's improving Cuda be the Cinderella story? Lets run'em and find out. The Cuda drops the hammer yet again but we all know the Camry is NOT going to lay down. Swiftkart will take the win, low ET for the race, and the track record! Swiftkart .8430et to Ecbill .9178et

Time for a short break for some track prep, random drawing for ladder placement, print the ladder, and fill it out before I run 4 Gear Unlimited. Also need to recharge my batteries and get my eyeballs straight again.
I will be back shortly......
You guys need to put those builds up for the next Kiwi Challenge!
I'm serious guys....I want that crown! |

That’s the way to win it Steve! Setting a track record on your way to victory. Congratulations! The Cuda was a pleasant surprise. Glad to get a closeup view of your back bumper instead of a long distance shot.

Jeff, The track is running great. Historically, my cars slow down at Bear Creek. Always thought it was do to rail differences from my plastic track. With the new power supplies, the speeds are improved vs the home track.
Kiw and the Falcon are the exceptions. I’m betting Kiwi’s problem is pickup shoes adjustment. It seems to be hyper critical on that car. If not that, its probably tire rub. She sits a bit loose on the body. Braids are likely the issue on the Falcon.
GREAT RACING!
