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 ACDelco NHRA Gator Nationals Elim #2-4

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - SUMMIT FastNews - Results of eliminations in Funny Car at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 40th annual ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals:


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 2 R Bob GILBERTSON Stratus 0.066 4.654 276.5
L 7 L Cruz PEDRAGON Solara 0.086 8.077 102.8

Both men got away well, but Cruz Pedragon had to shut her down halfway through the race with Bob Gilbertson starting to pull away in any case.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 5 R Jeff AREND Solara 0.069 4.068 311.3
L 4 L Daniel WILKERSON Impala 0.058 N/A N/A

Another shutdown, and a second straight defeat for the favourite lane of choice on the left. Jeff Arend would have been hard pushed to lose this one with his great time, but it did not matter when Daniel Wilkerson was spun into the barrier.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 8 L Bob TASCA III Mustang 0.109 4.991 282.5
L 1 R Brian THIEL Monte Carlo 0.114 12.035 55.3

A minor problem with the inner workings of Brian Thiel's car turned into a major one, leaving him to coast along and watch Tasca III take his place in the final four.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 3 L Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.050 4.010 310.3
L 11 R Ashley FORCE-HOOD Mustang 0.069 4.647 285.5

These two have contested for the third straight race meeting and it was Tony Pedragon who looked smooth as silk and straight as an arrow coming out on top to beat Ashley Force-Hood for the hat-trick.

Semi-Finals

W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 3 L Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.076 4.198 312.8
L 2 R Bob GILBERTSON Straus 0.100 4.717 286.0

Another fine effort puts Tony Pedragon in his third final in three rounds as he led from start to finish, leaving Bob Gilbertson missing out on a final for the second time.


W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 8 R Bob TASCA III Mustang 0.103 4.079 308.3
L 5 L Jeff AREND Solara 0.056 4.459 285.5

Both men fought a tightly-contested race in their first semi-final races. Bob Tasca III later reported a slight mechanical problem suffered early on, but it was not enough for Jeff Arend to beat him to the line.

Final

W/L # L Driver Car R/T E.T. Speed
W 3 R Tony PEDRAGON Impala 0.074 4.046 310.3
L 8 L Bob TASCA III Mustang 0.084 4.702 271.5

Wheelspin past the tree may have been the difference between the end result and someone stopping Tony Pedragon from winning a third final in a row. Bob Tasca III can count himself slightly unlucky.
