48.9 would have been just outside top 4
I qualified 2nd behind the Evo with a 48.0, went into the 47's in the final but wasn't fast enough!

Looking back to the April results and only 5 scoobs entered (2 in modified) you had to wonder whether the scooby champoinship would take off, but yesterday proved its well worth it - I'd wager there will be 25+ cars in 4wd modified class alone at the next round.
The event was very well run, a good spirit shown by all IMO

i managed to spin on the last bend on my best lap of the day, felt much faster than my 48s run and i was sick as it felt like a 47s was on the cards but not to be. mine was the rwd lola replica so i was interested in a direct comparison to the quick 4wd cars out there.
circuit was very good i thought, quite challenging (particularly the last bends!)
did the full set of results get sent out last round or was it put out on straightliners site?

Oh yes, I was in the queue 1 ahead of you for the last run, I was the one that chatted to you about my old Westfield
I believe your time was best in class, but IIRC it didn't quite work out for you in the final!! Sorry I assumed you were in 4wd mod class, great time for the Lola rep
In fact it probably was close to 5th overall, there was 1 Pro Evo that had a 47 IIRC
Hopefully the full set of results will be posted on straightliners soon, I still don't know what my final time was, except it was a 47.something

Was a well run event and really enjoyed it, i got lumped in pro class cos I had a spare set of wheels to run, didn't really want any bad feeling of being in modified in case no-one else did the same thing.
On road tyres I just struggled with understeer pretty much everywhere, I had to take 3 corners in 1st gear ffs!
The pirelli rally slicks in the afternoon were very grippy and with a few tweaks the understeer was all but gone nearly.
Really enjoyed the track layout, some very understated bends that caught a lot out by the looks, roll on june 20th, hopefully more cars there, altho I won't complain as we all got loads of runs I suppose.

Looking forward to this, got a bit of front clunking, either drop links, coilovers, or diff bolts.....thats my excuses ready lol.
Car still drives ok though and should be fine on the flat of elvington, would like to see a few more straights instead of the tight corners where all the quick spooling brigade have a major advantage, but saying that last time was very enjoyablke and once you've got a few laps under yer blet you know what to do.
Roll on sunday, nice dry weather.

Scoobs got their revenge today, some top drivers and top cars on display, all giving it some, I struggled on goodyear f1's then got a decent time on the slicks, kept making mistakes though so couldn't get lower than mid 35.5's....was a bit of a dog of a track to learn, tbh, and that last bend was just evil/a b'stard lol
