Scooby Shoot Out 2011 - My experience :)
Hey all,
On Sunday just gone I went to and entered Scooby Shoot Out 2011 at Elvington in York. Due to the lack of Subaru entries, it was opened up to some other cars, which was a shame, but it made for some variety for the spectators. The event consisted of: 1/4 mile runs, top speed over 1/2 mile (not timed) and a handling circuit.
The wind was extremely strong, so strong in fact that when stood on the start line, I could see my oil temperature falling. In some cases dropping from 95C to around 80C within a short period of time. Someone mentioned 57mph or something, but I'm not sure it was quite that strong!?!
Anywho I won the top speed over half a mile in my class (no award for that for some reason) and apparently came an overall 11th in the event. Which is quite pleasing considering the other machines running.
I ran on the 1/4 mile a good 28 times, launching the car hard every single time, missing gears on some runs, and generally abusing the car, and it held up great.
On the handling circuit I had no idea where I was going on my first run, as due to the wind they couldn't lay down all the cones. On my second run I found that they had elevated the cones out in place so it was easier to see, but I still struggled to familiarise myself with the course, and so therefore decided to not take it too seriously and have some fun out there
I ran 12.2 on the strip - beating my PB by .02seconds, but with the massive wind, I imagine I could better that. I certainly feel my lightweight alloys have made a difference, and I was fitted with my quiet exhaust!
Went 135mph on the half mile, which I think I could have gone faster if I had launched the car instead of a roll off the line and did 40sec on the handling circuit. Which isn't too shabby IMO - will definitely have more goes on there next time.
Anyway as always I have LOADS of videos, so please have a look through, all comments are as usual welcome
Thanks for looking.
