Round 2 and we see the number 1 qualifier in Ecbill and the Flamed 55 taking on Crossfire in the sinister black camaro. Burnouts complete and they stage.  They are away and the 55 isn't holding back. Crossfire is right there if Ecbill makes a mistake but it's not going to happen and the 55 takes the stripe.  The 55 is just tearing up the track today.  This is a pair I wanted to see. Racin Rob and the 59 impala taking on Rusted Christine and Dave632. They stage.  These 2 are glued to each other all the way down. At the stripe it's the big red 59.  I knew that would be a close race and it didn't disappoint. Racin Rob moving on.  Next pairing Pete in the Torino and Crazynski in the 442. Locked and ready.  They are away but the 442 stumbled slightly and that's all the Torino needed.  Pete moves on to the quarters.  Last pair on the left side. New racer Rocket Jim in the willys and Cozwurth in the 36 Ford.  Both of these drivers want to get to the quarter finals but there's only one more spot and it's Cozwurth moving on.  What a great showing for new racer Rocket Jim.  We are moving right into the right side of the ladder after a little track prep. |

Continuing round 2 we see Ecbill in Agent Orange taking on Carla60 in the USAF Willys.  Both cars are away and it's a tight race all the way to the stripe. It's going to be Agent Orange moving into the quarters.  Carla60 was right there making sure Ecbill didn't slip up.  Carla60 is right back at the starting line in Car-la alongside Dave632 and Evil Christine.  They are away and Carla60 pulls out front early and stays there till the finish.  Someone better hide Carla60 as I'm sure Evil Christine will not be happy.  Next up is a tough one to see. The Finistauri team will take on each other. Good news one makes it to the quarters.  Draga Alyna is the defending champ but Black Widow Dragon isn't backing down and takes the win.  Black Widow Dragon wanted it and turns in his best ET.  Last pair sees Crazynski in the camaro and Gnome in the Casper J.  They are away and Gnome is friendly enough to get to the finish 1st.  The camaro was running good today just came up a little short.  That will take us to the quarter finals. You don't want to miss this! |

Quarter finals coming your way. First pairing is Ecbill in the Flamed 55 taking on Racing Rob in the Big red machine.  Rob has a big task ahead of him but the impala is no push over. Running to the big end it's the Flamed 55 taking the W.  That was Ecbills biggest challenge yet and he moves into the semifinals.  Next up Pete in the Torino and Cozwurth in Driving Miss Crazy  Slight advantage to Cozwurth and he keeps that to the half. To the top end and it's going to be Cozwurth taking the stripe by a bumper.  What a close race we had here. Cozwurth moving into the semifinals.  On the other side we have Ecbill and Agent Orange taking on Carla60 in Car-la.  Both drivers are trying to advance but at the finish it's Ecbill moving on.  What a close race. Neither driver wad giving a inch.  And fighting it out for the last spot in the semifinals its Finistauri in the Black Widow Dragon and Gnome in the Casper J.  Both drivers want it bad. Gnomes looking for another trophy today but it's Finistauri taking the win.  Gnome will settle with his inline win and Fin moves into the semifinals.  After a little track prep we will bring you the semifinals and the finals. Stay glued right here! |

Semifinal action. Tjet Comp gasser. It's fun on a bun and it's coming at you now. Number 1 qualifier Ecbill and the Flamed 55 taking on Cozwurth in the 36 Ford Driving Miss Crazy. Staged and ready.  Cozwurth has a huge task here in taking down the number 1 qualifier but it isn't to be today and Ecbill takes the win and moves to the finals.  Cozwurth hung in there and has nothing to be ashamed of.  Other side sees Ecbill right back in Agent Orange along side him is Finistauri in the Black Widow Dragon. Fin has been turning it up all day. Let's see what he's got.  Ecbill is first out but Fin is right there. Running to the top end I can't tell who's out front. It's going to be Ecbill by a bumper.  Fin was charging hard and just ran out of room to run down Ecbill. A .0035 margin!  That takes us to a all Ecbill Final. Agent Orange and the Flamed 55. Who's it going to be? 1 and 2 are staged let's see if they take it easy.  Yeah taking it easy isn't going to happen and they tear out of here. At the finish it's the Flamed 55 taking the win.  Get out of here. Look at this. A new record! What a statement! Both cars turn in their best ET of the event. No laying down here. Way to go Ecbill.  Congratulations to Ecbill and to all the racers. You guys knocked it out of the park on these cars. Not a inch of give here.  Ecbill the 2024 Halloween race Tjet Comp gasser champion! |

That was some amazing class racing. We have some grudge racing to do still and a little non Nitro sanctioned race still to go. I wanted to go ahead and hand out the last trophy for best in show. This is always hard for the racemaster. Racing the cars figure it out for themselves. This year the trophy goes to Steve-E-D in the Steve camaro. It's not Halloween related but man is it a good looking car. 
The thing that makes it better is I seen the pictures of the real 1-1 car. Congratulations Steve.

WooHoo! WTG Bill!!! Clean sweep!!!
Bill and Gnome, both of you dominated your races.
Thanks, Adam! Best in Show is quite an honor. The "Steve" Camaro is a special build in tribute to my wife's car. Jess-E-D will be thrilled.

Thanks Adam and Steve. Kept expecting something to blow. Never had a car run like that.
Congratulations Steve on your best to show win. Quite a special car.
The flaming 55 would like to take a stab at racing against an in-line, at 20v. If that’s ok with Adam. Anybody want to give it a try? Don’t think he’ll have anything for any of the quarter finalists, but he’s game to try. Pretty sure he could beat the Super Rat.

How about a little grudge racing. Best of 3? Yeah I think so. Steve-E-D taking on Steve-E-D. We wanted to run these and then have a match race with a tin top car of Finistauri but he had a catastrophic failure and won't make it. Daytona in the left GTO in the right here we go.  The GTO stumbled and the Daytona laid down a pass.  Let's run them again. Let's see if the GTO can take it to 3. They swap lanes and try it again.  The GTO is away clean and so is the Daytona. At the finish it's the Daytona taking it in 2.  Way to go Steve-E-D you beat yourself! Cool cars and I wouldn't get in their way! |

Thanks for the runs, Adam.
For those watching at home, these are Diecasts on JAG TR-3/GT 3.5 ohm chassis and weigh in at 56 grams.
Anyone game for a grudge match build at a future event?

That will do it for me for today. There is a non Nitro class that I still have to run but it's going to have to wait till tomorrow as there is trick or treating going on and I need some candy. As always it really is a honor to run everyone's cars down my track. I can't thank you guys and gals enough for trusting me to run your creations. You all build amazing works of art. Congratulations to everyone that made it to the races. Winners all the way down to the cars that went out in round 1 Congratulations. Job well done!
