Thanks to everyone for all of the positive comments!! We appreciate them! Well yesterday was a great day of racing and today looks to be more of the same. We will be starting out with the Match races that were not run yesterday, followed by N/TF, and closing the show with the Kiwi Challenge. I will post the first round ladder for N/TF and then call the match racers to the line. We have some heavy hitters running in N/TF. We have track Officials standing down the track with fire extinguishers when SKR's cars run to put any fires out. He's burning it up! Good luck to everybody today.

Our first Match Race of the day is more of a comparison match up to test the performance of the DBR Lycan chassis from Lucky Bob's against of of our MM/PS Class cars. I don't have all of the specs on the DBR, but here's the link below. G3 Firebird is built to MM/PS Class specs.

This was the best 2 out of 3.
Race 1 Pceng RL .672 vs JJWallace LL .423. The cars do their burn outs and stage. No games here, these guys just want some data. The tree drops and the Firebird is gone. The Lycan runs well but is in need of some mods to get it up to the performance of the MM/PS.
Race 2 Pceng LL .673 vs JJWallace RL .427. Both cars stage again and it is more of the same. Almost identical et's as the first race. The Firebird runs faster in both races.
Match Race #1 is in the books.

The second Match Race was another comparison type match up. Pceng has a Corvette Tyco chassis that was a potential future MM/PS and wanted some baseline numbers while running against another MM/PS Class car. Eagle stepped up with his Wizzard P3 MM/PS Mopar. Pceng if you would like to chime in on your cars specs. Let's see how they did.
Race 1 Pceng Corvette .671 RL vs Eagle Mopar .513 LL. These guys pull throught the water box and stage. Lights go green and they're already moving. Good solid runs, but the MM/PS Wizzard is the stronger car. They look like they are talking some tech at the end of the track.
Race 2 Pceng Corvette .622 LL vs Eagle Mopar .513 RL. The Tyco picks it up but it's still off the pace of the MM/PS. Both wins go to the Mopar.

Match Race 3 was an open match race challenge by Doug412 with his SG+ Nova and Eagle Racing answered the challenge with his "all new" Drag Bike. Eagle has been working on the bike and is ready to see what it can do against Doug's Nova. The stage is set.
Race 1 Doug412 SG+ Nova RL 1.450 vs Eagle Drag Bike LL 1.040. Both these guys seem to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed this morning with attitude. They've already got the burnouts done but neither one wants to stage. Finally the bike goes in and Doug follows. The lights fall and both get off the line quick. The Drag Bike hits the traps first while Doug spins the length of the track. Win to Eagle.
Race 2 Doug412 SG+ Nova LL 1.578 vs Eagle Drag Bike RL .991. These guys are playing games at the line again. This time Eagle makes Doug go in first. Lights go green and Doug immediately breaks them loose and starts spinning. The Drag Bike hooks up and improves on his first time and takes the win. With some better tires the Nova might have given the Drag Bike a run. Maybe there's another challenge awaiting in the future??? Match win goes to Eagle Drag Bike. Drag Bike is still undefeated in Match Races.

HERE IS A VIDEO THAT WAS SHOT OF THE DOUG412 RACING EAGLES DRAG BIKE. THE RACE DID NOT COUNT BECAUSE WE HAD POWER SUPPLY AT WRONG VOLTAGE. WE THINK YOU WILL ENJOY THIS ONE!

Round oneRace 1 #13 Draglsyltskyn rt.470 / et.723 vs Pceng rt.434 et NT. Pceng gets out first on the Snake 1, but blows BOTH tires off 100' from the traps and comes to a stop. All he can do is watch Draglstyltskyn's pro built Snake 1 go by for the win.
Race 2 #4 Eagle rt.437 / et.808 vs TGM rt.451 / et1.95. Eagle gets the light and walks away with this one against TGM's blue and silver car.
Race 3 #12 KS1933 rt.473 / et.673 vs KS1933 rt.458 / et1.015. KS #12 beats down KS #11 easily moving on to more rounds.
Race 4 #5 Eagle rt.502 / et.838 vs Doug412 rt.488 / et.992. Eagle lays off the light and is able to drive around Doug early even though Doug gets the holeshot and runs his best et.

Race 5 #18 Hairy Canary rt.444 / et.613 vs Phantombse rt.450 / et.610. Good race with a couple of lead changes going down track. The Canary launches first and spins at the hit allowing Phantom to go by. The Canary backpeddles and runs Phantom down. HC wins on a holeshot.
Race 6 #17 Hairy Canary rt.499 / et.526 vs Darius rt.390 / ET.677. Darius needs to push the light to have a chance, but he holds on too tight and brings on the bottom bulb. HC Mongoose flies on to a win.
Race 7 #14 Hemi Hunter rt.409 / et.647 vs Stinger rt.484 / et.575. Big upset here....Hemi Hunter gets a huge holeshot and holds off a charging Stinger to take the win and move on.
Race 8 #1 Pceng rt.412 / et.640 vs Phantom rtRL / et.565. Phantom has something distract him and double steps at the hit of the throttle and goes red. Pceng goes on to more rounds.

Race 9 #20 SKR rt.471 / et.518 vs Draglstyltskyn rt.429 / et.773. SKR's #1 qualifier takes this one easily as he does not push the tree and is able to move on. Draglstyltskyn is going home.
Race 10 #7 JJWallace rt.472 / et.514 vs Eagle rt.444 / et.610. Eagle leaves on JJ but the Grape Ape has the horsepower to reel him in. JJ takes the win and is going more rounds.
Race 11 #19 SKR rt.483 / et.506 vs KS1933 rt.434 / et.692. KS does what he has to and gets the holeshot but SKR says "no way" and catches him by 1/4 track and keeps pulling all the way down the track.
Race 12 #5 Eagle rt.466 / et.702 vs JJWallace rt.468 / et.998. Both cars come off the line like they're tied together. JJ's has a wheelie bar issue and ends up spinning down the track as Eagle motors by for the win. Joe Boo has spoken.
