We continued to tune in the throttle-stop and gathered some useful weather data. We are now really getting the hang of this bussiness and our two last qualifying runs was a 9,903 and a 9,901 which secured us 1st. Qualifyer.

Eliminations ended in a strange way for us. As first qualifier we had a solo run in the first round. We did the burn-out and staged as normal. But the Starter didn't agree and we were disqualified!
We thought the Starter's task is to run a fair race, but this one seemed to want to be part of the racing.
So the only thing we could do was to pack up and go home. We certainly didn't drive 1500km to race the Starter!
