About M.E. myself and I

Eastbourne, East Sussex, United Kingdom
I have been an M.E. sufferer for a long time now, but sports replay gaming is an easy hobby for me to enjoy. Originally from Canvey Island, Essex, I was introduced to replay gaming a few years ago, leading to my first purchase: Cricket World. Most sports I share will be common, but there are some more obscure replays thrown in. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to say hello! - Chris

CDR: 2009 Funny Car Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals Elim #2-4

POMONA, Calif. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of the remaining rounds in Funny Car at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 49th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals:


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 10 L Jerry TOLIVER Monte Carlo 0.007 4.063 295.8
L 2 R Ron CAPPS Charger 0.094 4.134 300.8

Jerry Toliver books his place in the semi-finals after a hard-fought race that was nearly over as soon as it begun when Toliver was lucky not to red light. Ron Capps nearly came out on top but some last second wheelspin put that to bed.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 4 L Ashley FORCE-HOOD Mustang 0.102 4.217 297.8
L 12 R Del WORSHAM Solara 0.090 4.367 289.0

Another duel possibly decided by the loser needing to work the pedal before the finish line. Del Worsham was looking good for the win before his wheels had other ideas, leaving the door open for  Ashley Force-Hood to take victory.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 1 R Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.087 4.071 304.8
L 8 L Jack WYATT Firebird 0.113 5.625 279.5

Tony Pedragon had this contest won from the word go as he blazed through to the semis. Jack Wyatt was burning out just past the tree but was already eating his opponents dust.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 11 L Tim WILKERSON Mustang 0.086 4.049 295.8
L 3 R Bob TASCA III Mustang 0.100 4.483 298.0

The final semi-final place was won by Tim Wilkerson in good style, but on another day Bob Tasca's clean run would have been enough to progress.

Semi-Finals

W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 11 R Tim WILKERSON Mustang 0.098 4.890 282.0
L 10 L Jerry TOLIVER Monte Carlo 0.116 5.483 273.5

While Tim Wilkerson had the tyres working overtime early on, Jerry Toliver was unable to get good drive until it was too late.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 1 R Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.102 4.021 306.8
L 4 L Ashley FORCE-HOOD Mustang 0.103 5.218 280.3

Ashley Force-Hood's third straight reaction time of over 1/10th of a second was matched by her opponent on this occasion, but it counted for little as Tony Pedragon has really been in the zone throughout this event.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 1 R Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.062 4.443 292.5
L 11 L Tim WILKERSON Mustang 0.085 4.407 277.0

The final was a joy to watch and won by the fastest man through qualifying thanks to a hole-shot victory. Tony Pedragon took the stripe first despite being a touch slower on the E.T. but Tim Wilkerson couldn't have been any closer without winning himself.
