Good morning racers and race fans. I am getting a bit of a slow start this morning but that's all part of the plan. I needed to get rested for today which is going to be busier than yesterday. Class eliminations will be starting shortly with the 3 gear Stock and then 4 gear after that. Track needs to be gone over and everything rechecked, cleaned, etc. I will complete both Classes today so there will be racing all day.
Congratulations to Gnome for Top Qualifier in 3 gear Stock in his vintage Cuda Funny Car!
Congratulations as well to Carla60 for Top Qualifier honors in 4 gear Stock in her clean Grand Prix!
Looks like some great racing today. So without further delay.....let's get on with it!
Good luck everybody! |

The Dodge Coronet is a Hairy Canary creation. He has made some wonderful bodies and still does.

3 Gear Stock Preliminary Round and Round 1 Eliminations
Preliminary Round Race 1 Mazda #15 vs Kstocks #18 Both of these cars struggled to get down the track this morning and were slower than Qualifying. But Mazda is able to easily take the win and move into Round 1 against the #1 Qualifier. Kstocks is unfortunately going on the trailer. Mazda 1.3031et to 2.3054et.
Preliminary Round Race 2 Gramps #9 vs Kstocks #17 Both cars slow from Qualifying. The '55 is out first on the Mustang and leads start to finish to turn on the win light. Kstocks is headed back to the pits. Gramps is moving to Round 1 against the #2 Qualifier 1.1423et to 2.0548et.
Round 1 Race 3 Gnome #21 vs Cozwurth #8 Only race 3 and we already are battling. What a great race! Cozwurth in that sweet Monza GT jumps out first and looks like he's gone, but the Rat Pack Camaro starts to eat on the big end and drives around at the finish. Gnome is going to move on .9822et to .9973et. .0056 WM
Round 1 Race 4 Dave632 #13 vs Mazda #14 Both cars improve from Qualifying but the Nomad cannot keep pace with the Challenger today. Dave takes the win easily and will move ahead. Mazda can now focus on the Javelin. .8541et to 1.0637et.
Round 1 Race 5 Weissach #16 vs Pennywize619 #7 The Showtime Gremlin wanted it bad and picks it up a bunch from Qualifying, but it's still not enough for the slick Camaro. Weissach moves ahead .9581et to 1.0131et.

3 Gear Stock Round 1 Eliminations (cont.)
Round 1 Race 6 Pennywize619 #6 vs Comet #11 Both cars slowed. The Gremlin was surging going down track but was still able to turn the win light on. Comet is done for the day in the truck. Pennywize619 1.0715et to 1.2317et
Round 1 Race 7 Ecbill #5 vs Crazynski #3 Two Camaros going at it. Crazy has a tough task going up against the #3 car. Ecbill is strong and has the performance today for the win. .8572et to 1.1734et
Round 1 Race 8 Ecbill #4 vs Comet #10 The cars leave together. The Plymouth has a wheel out front but then the Nomad starts to pull all the way through the traps. Comet is going home. 1.0086et to 1.1518et
Round 1 Race 9 Gnome #22 vs Mazda #15 Here is another tall task. #1 Cuda is blistering the track today. Can the Javelin get it done? Mazda picks it up from last round but in a losing effort. Gnome moves ahead with his bracket car almost equaling his Qualifying time .8043et to 1.2262et
Round 1 Race 10 Dave632 #12 vs Gramps #9 Gramps found some performance and makes a huge improvement but it is still not enough and Dave is going to take the win. The Vette is running strong today! .8157et to 1.0661et

That's it for Round 1. I will post the Quarter Final ladder in a few minutes, wipe the track down, reorganize a couple of things, and we will do it all over again  . Getting down to the nitty gritty now. We have 4 of the last 8 cars are in the .8's. It's going to be good!

3 Gear Stock Quarter Final Eliminations
Quarter Final Race 11 Gnome #22 vs Gnome #21 Team cars going against each other. Too bad it couldn't be in the Final. Let's see who's stronger. The #1 Cuda slows slightly, but it's more than enough to put the Camaro on the trailer. .8174et to 1.0225et
Quarter Final Race 12 Dave632 #13 vs Weissach #16 Can Weissach claim an upset? Both cars slowed, but Dave has the better performance today and is in the Semis. .8979et to .9712et
Quarter Final Race 13 Dave632 #12 vs Pennywize619 #6 The Gremlin was able to lay down a smooth pass but the #2 Vette is fast today and will turn on the win light. .8327et to 1.0633et
Quarter Final Race 14 Ecbill #5 vs Ecbill #4 Team cars again for the second time in the Quarter Finals wow. Let's see who gets team focus going forward. The Nomad makes it's best pass of eliminations in a losing effort to the Camaro. The Camaro is fast enough to win it all today. .8959et to .9549et

3 Gear Stock Eliminations Semi Final Ladder
It looks like #1 and #2 are going to go at it for the trophy. But we all know it's not always as easy as it is on paper. There has been very little drama up to this point in the race. All of the remaining cars are in the .8's. It's really anybody's game.

3 Gear Stock Semi Final Eliminations
Semi Final 1 Gnome #22 vs Dave632 #13 WOW!! Gnome blisters the track and busts into the '7's to take the win decisively and goes to the Finals. Dave can now focus on getting the Corvette there too. The Challenger ran well all day. Gnome .7874et to .8824et
***OK...I guess I was just dazzled by that run but, of all the pictures I forgot to take it had to be this one. I'm sorry but as I hit the button to clear the screen I realized I had not taken that picture yet. It was a moment like locking and shutting the car door and seeing the keys on the seat. Anyway.....sorry about that.
Semi Final 2 Dave632 #12 vs Ecbill #5 Dave's Vette is consistent and gets out on the Camaro and never looks back. Ecbill ran strong and made a good showing today. Dave goes to the Finals to meet up with #1 Gnome .8364et to .9006et
