Alright race fans. We're back to tear the track up once again. There's been a strange looking clown hanging around the finish line so I figured we'd start with a little grudge racing between Gnome and the mystery machine and Crossfire in the ghost busters wagon. Maybe we can get them down there and take care of that creepy clown. Let's see who wants to get down there first to investigate.  They are lined up and ready  At half track it really looks like the mystery machine wants to get there 1st  The mystery machine does get there 1st to unmask the clown. Is it Mr Jenkins?  Gnome takes round 1 but this is best of 3 so let's run them again. |

Here we go with round two. Seems the clown dodged the mystery machine the 1st time around. Let's see who gets down there to deal with him this time.  Once again they line up but in different lanes this time.  Again the mystery machine gets there 1st. It turns out it was Mr Jenkins and he would have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids.  As you can see they both picked it up trying to chase down the clown. Congratulations to Gnome and the mystery machine crew for ridding the track of that trouble making clown. |

Here's how the ladder fell for inline super stock. Unfortunately it looks like we have a couple team cars taking each other on in round 1. Good news is 1 of them will make it into round 2.  |

1.1745? Yep. Not worth mentioning anyways. Junk OS3 Typhoon armature.

Round 1 of inline SS is in the books. Let's take a look at how it shook out. 1st up is something you hate to see. Team drivers taking each other on in round 1. Here they are not only a team but a couple of mustangs. My money's on Kstocks and a mustang.  At half track they are neck and neck.  Unfortunately there can only be one winner and it's kstocks in the blue mustang with a come from behind win.  Up next is pennywize619 in the vette and Charlie in his number 8 55 chevy.  At half track pennywize is pulling hard but you can never count out a 55  Charlie just didn't have the power under the hood and pennywize ran away with it this time.  Next up is a battle of pumpkins or RR in his camaro dragster and ecbill in the super pumpkin.  All I seen was 2 blurs of orange as they tore down the track but at the finish it was RR in his camaro dragster.  The super pumpkin was right there until after the 60' and the camaro poured on the power.  Next up we have Vmaxx and Comet. Its a real treat to see a pickup here at the track as we don't see them very often.  I'll tell you what the pickup got out on the challenger but then vmaxx hit the scramble button and really started moving.  The ram got the jump and staid out until after the 60' and vmaxx started moving. Maybe he can lend some of that power to the usps and they wouldn't be so late.  |

Again unfortunately we see team cars battling it out. This time with the JJwallace team.  Half track and the torino is ahead by inches. There is no laying down in this team.  In the end it was the firebird with a come from behind win. This was by far the closest race of round 1. Look at that win margin! What a barn burner.  Next up is Pete in his sleek red camaro and Comet in his sinister looking black ram.  They hung close to the 60' but at half track the camaro is pulling away.  And it staid that way till the finish. Pete and his camaro ran his best et so far. He has be really nailing down the tune.  Next to the line is Ecbill in his super rat and crazynski in mr chevy. A couple of beautiful old school chevys here. If you look close at the Mr. Chevy car i think theres a ghost driving.  These cars where dead even at the hit but the vette started pulling hard down the track.  At the finish it was Ecbill in the super rat. Id watch these 2 classic chevys run down the track any day.  To finish up round 1 we have Hairycanary in the prototype demon and Gramps Ratz in the mean low merc.  Gramps got a slight advantage at the hit but that new prototype body must have a aerodynamic advantage.  As you can see Hairycanary ran it out the back door and took the win.  That will finish up round 1 of inline SS. Let's take a look at the ladder for round 2.  Let's see how it shakes out. Will there be any upsets? Only time will tell. |

Here we go round 2 inline SS. To start off the round we have kstocks taking on the number 1 qualifier in swiftkart. They stage up and are ready to leave it all on the track.  This is a race that by the naked eye looked pretty close.  In the end it was swiftkart in his sharp looking Ferrari taking the win.  Next to the line we have Dave632 in his challenger (I wonder if him and vmaxx bought their cars off the same lot) vs pennywise619 in the little blown vette.  At half track its Dave632 out on the vette.  At the finish its the little blown vette pulling out the come from behind win by the slimmest of margins. This was the closet race in round 2.  Again in round 2 we have another team match up. This time it's RR racin' Rob  At half track Casper is out on the camaro but there's still room to catch him.  Looks like Casper isn't so friendly to his team car and takes home the win.  Next to the line is Vmaxx and Gnome. No Vmaxx isn't borrowing Dave632s car they just both have good taste.  At half track its Gnome out front in the shiny vette but as we've seen Vmaxx really starts making steam from half track on.  Vmaxx runs out of room and Gnome takes the win.  |

On the other side of the ladder we have pennywise619 in big bird going against JJwallace in the t top firebird. They bring them to the line.  Half track and big bird has about 2 cars on the firebird.  Big bird keeps some space between him and the firebird and steps it up from qualifying.  Up next is Pete in his show quality camaro and Gnome in the Capri.  Here we go another close race. The camaro has the advantage off the line but the Capri catches him at half track.  This is going to be another photo finish I'm not sure the finish line judge pennywise could tell who won.  The time slips don't lie it was Gnome in his capri that takes the stripe.  Next pair is swiftkart and ecbill. Both drivers pulling up in some very orange cars. Fitting color for a Halloween race.  The super rat gets the jump at the light and he knew he had to. The STR camaro is no joke.  Half track and the camaro is out front and stays there taking the win light. The super rat ran his best et but it wasn't enough today.  Next pair brings up Hairycanary in his prototype dodge demon and Dave632 in the ghost white 55.  Half track and the 55 is out front. Can Hairycanary use those aerodynamics to his advantage?  Unfortunately for Hairycanary Dave's horsepower was more than any aerodynamic advantage.  That does it for round 2. The match ups are getting real close now. Let's take a look at the ladder going into round 3.  |

Congrats Dave on top Qualifier in Gasser.
Looks like my cars are slowing a little and the rest are getting faster, it will be some close racing to come. The DR1 STR Camaro is giving everything it's got to try and hang on.

Back at it for round number 3. First pair to the line is your number 1 qualifier swiftkart in the Ferrari against pennywise619 in the blue vette with the little engine that could.  The vette gets the jump but by half track the Ferrari takes the lead.  Going to the finish its still anyone's race. Who's it going to be?  Swiftkart in the lean mean Ferrari machine takes it.  Next pair brings out RR Racin Rob in casper and Gnome in his mirror finish corvette.  Casper gets the jump but at half track Gnome is reeling him in.  This is anyone's race here. Into the traps they go who's got the advantage  It's RR and casper taking the stripe by a mere .0064  Next pair brings up Gnome in the capri and pennywise619 in big bird. Everyone say it with me.. HI BIRD!  Starting line advantage goes to Gnome but at half track big bird pulls ahead by inches.  These cars are glued together going down the track. I couldn't tell the winner if I wanted to.  It was pennywise619 in big bird that took the stripe by a beak with another .0064 win margin. Gnome came to win and ran his best ET of the event but came up short.  Final pair of round 3 brings up Swiftkart in the beautiful orange STR camaro and next to him is Dave632 in the ghost white 55 chevy. Let's hope he has all 632 of those cubic inches under the hood. He's going to need them.  Starting line advantage goes to Dave632 and he carries that out to the 660 mark.  Swiftkart hits the scramble button and gets ALL the boost going into the finish.  Swiftkart closed the gap but just didn't have the room to get around the ghost white 55. The camaro slowed every round. I'm sure the Swiftkart team will have it back and running stronger than ever. The closest race this round!  That will do it for round 3. We are down to only 4 cars and they are tight! Let's take a look at the ladder going into round 4.  |
