Come on, tell us all about it....

 

I saw a go kart do a 12.5 second quarter, i kid you not I left at lunch time so cant comment on what happened this afternoon, Stefs fastest was 13.64, a white 5 door STi did a 13.1 and Saj (I think) did a 13.55 in his STi, Stef went against a Sapphire Cossie, and beat it by a whole second down the strip, but i have no idea what spec it was. Fastest run i saw was a Drag bike, 7.75 seconds 170+ mph terminal speed ?????

I am sure the guys that ran can provide more accurate times, etc when they get home and have had time to relax

 

See topic in Events more more info.
The Cossie that Ian's referring to had a whopping 390bhp/400lbft by the way, so I was well chuffed!!!!

Stef.

 

Brill day . Did a 13.6 on my first ever run vs a Nissan Sunny GTiR. They dont hang around those things you know... I was quite surprised as he came through at 14.2. Good Scooby turn out, top stuff

 

It was great to see such a good turn out - I expected about 10 cars when I originally posted in November! Mind you I hope you all appreciated the lovely weather that I booked - has to cash in a few brownie points with the big man for that

Also, surprised at the lack of laughter at the Renault 5 Turbo mob who also turned up in droves - turned out a very busy day especially arriving as part of a convoy of 10+ 5GTs, 22 Scoobs, a Skyline and the odd Supra, Escort and Astra - amazing.

The best Renault 5 was, to be a fair, a beautifully prepped machine - however it had a huge flashy sticker on the side saying 'Proven - the UK's Most Powerful Renault Turbo' - all I can say is that if this is true, then let's see it run and prove itself - did it run - no

Also a laugh to see that dick from Driven doing a run for DRIVEN in a Mini (16.94) in a full Nomex suit and a Helmet!.

Fastest Scoob John Hughes I think, several under 14s, lots of UK cars in the 14-15.5 second mark.

Also good to see Dave Upton discover that his old Type R was faster than his new Skyline - although it is a lovely car - thanks for the drive!

PS Ian the drag bike did 7.45 when I saw him - next run he headed towards the wall and had to back off - still under 11s tho'

I thought the Stereo competition the R5 boy's were having after lunch was particularly good... think they may well have got the wrong venue...

 

Check out the RSOC board for a more "reliable" account of my runs!

A great day, I really regret not running. Scooby turnout was amazing, the troops were definitely rallied . The drag bikes were amazing, one guy looked like he was leaning at 150+. 178 was the fastest I saw in 7.5s . Mike Rainbows cossie is an awesome machine and I couldnt believe how quiet and civilised the engine was. Its a shame there werent more RS guys there. There were quite a few R5GT and two white EVO's who always seemed to race each other. A couple of skylines and half a dozen motorbikes. The bikes were running 11's and 12's.

I did manage to give Mike R some stick just as he was finishing off his running repairs and even offered him my alternator .

I got totally lost going and coming back .

Hope you all like the pictures and see you at Donno .


cheers

own up guys! so which 3 scoobies did Ade in the Silver TT supra beat then??

and you guys say that supras cant do 13s, Ade did a 13.2!

 

I never saw the silver Supra go against any Imprezas, but i left at lunchtime ? I dont remember anybody saying Supras couldnt do 13s quarters either ??? I have seen the Blitz prepared car before, and suspect that would probably do a lot quicker than that, if it can get the traction down?

 

.... even I was faster than the nurd from Drive Programm....ha ha ha lol...

What was even funnier was them trying to film Minis and the like - trying to find an angle that didn't have a Scoobie in it. lol....

 

Hey yunus how come all the Supras sounded like giant hoovers woofling up the strip?
Sounded kinda cool though, like something from a Sci-Fi film

 

Probably something to do with the engine-driven fan. Or maybe it was the induction noise from the trunk gorilla as he consumed vast quantites of beer.
