HRW Holeshot Nations - Summer Nationals action!

[nhdungeonracer]

Well, the Dungeon prepped cars certainly fared well in 1/32. Certainly better than last year :lol:
Hope it carries over in the bigger cars :auto-checkeredflag:

1/24 Action!

The first class to pull into the staging lanes were the two entries for Wheels Up Gasser!













Our camera man went kind of brain dead on this - snapping pics of each car separate - verses staged together after realizing the Willys was in the wrong lane after the coin flip.

For the run, it was the Willys in the far lane, Camaro in the near lane. Both of these cars proved to be SMOOTH runners and off the line it was the Camaro with the jump - but by the "60 foot" mark, the Willys had caught and was passing the Camaro while still carrying front wheels in the air! :o

Next to the staging lanes - Conventional Gasser!







The coin flip put the Nomad in the near lane and the Minion ElCamino in the far lane (they are an energetic crew let me tell ya!) Off the line, the El Camino was a bit quicker - but was quickly overtaken by the Nomad - but then from about 2/3 track on - the Minions must have found a little something more - as they were charging back! There wasn't enough distance left before the lights for them to take the win, but it made for a great race!

Next to the staging lanes - Pre-'90 Hot Rod

Round 1







In this old school verses new school match up - it was the Thunderbolt with lane choice - getting the near lane on the coin flip and the Thunderbird getting the far lane. The Thunderbird was quicker off the line - but the Thunderbolt came on strong and ran it out all the way through the lights to advance to the next round!


:auto-checkeredflag:







The Camaro had a BYE run for this round, with the coin flip placing it in the near lane. The Camaro team leaned on it hard, running a time slightly quicker than their qualifying time in prep for the next round!

Pre-'90 Hot Rod FINALS!







The Thunderbolt, still having low ET took the coin flip landing in the far lane with the Camaro in the near lane.
The Camaro got the jump out of the hole - but in a near replay of the run with the Thunderbird the T-bolt powered past the Camaro and held the lead all the way out through the lights to claim top honors!

Final class of the day - 1/24 EXPO!







It may have only been a BYE run - but the driver of the Camaro Funny Car wasn't going to let an opportunity to put on a show go to waste! With a hard hook out of the hole - it was off for a blistering run making a quicker pass than it did qualifying in either lane - but also locking up the "King of Speed" and "King of the Strip" honors for the 1/24 scale cars in the process!
