Nostalgia Fuel Car Cup

Like Pro Modified, the mix-and-match Nostalgia Fuel Car Cup was blighted by withdrawals, particularly on the Sunday when the Garlick and Antoniou Apache NFC was shutoff with worrying glances cast at the oil pressure sensor, Wendy Baker and Paul Stubbings Time Warp Mustang lobbed a rod or two just before the stripe on a pretty sharp 6.781/196.41 and then Adam Gleadow’s altered looked like it had dropped a valve after a very sickly looking burnout. Last person standing was Nick Davies and the Chaos Topolino who had earlier set class low ET with a 6.325/220.02.

Topspeed Automotive Street Eliminator

Street Eliminator wasn’t without its own casualty list, and fate would play a significant role in the destiny of both the event win and the Topspeed Automotive title as points leader Stuart Williams and the gleaming Carma Supra just missed the tree in the first round of eliminations with a -0.0046s RT opening the door in the championship chase. Matthew Smith progressed to the final in fine fashion nudging the 8.50 chassis tag on the Extreme Racing Ford Escort, and when opponent Jon Webster was shut down with a fluid leak on completion of the burnout, Smith took his first class win and spared Williams’ blushes as Webster would have taken the points crown if he’d been able to make the pass in his seven second Mercury Comet.
