Cool 555Danny - API built my 12.2 sec 1/4 Mile Car !

As a new member to ScoobyNet but an avid subaru owner and fan for 6yrs "technology" is not my strong point!!

I want to acknowledge David from API and Pat (my Mapper) for building and tuning my Subaru Impreza WRX STI V3 Type R 555 Special Edition ( 1 of 250)

With 2400 miles on my fresh engine me and my wife arrived at Avon Park, Shakespeare County Raceway at 11am on Sunday 22nd April, and by 11.34.51sec I had completed my 1st 12.2 sec 1/4 mile, then proceeded to acheive five further 12.2sec consistant 1/4 mile...!

Considering my rear tyres are "Falcon" and shot to pieces, and running standard tyre pressure (straight off the road) I was delighted.

I was even more delighted when was my name was announced over the PA system as Shakespeare County Raceway's 4 cylinder Street Car Class winner..!!!!!!

Whilst we where there I met Renton from SCCE who pulled out the bag an outstanding 12.9 sec standing 1/4 ....which I have since found out he did WITHOUT using his clutch...!!!!

We can confirm that we will be attending the SCCE gathering at the Oak in Bagington at 1pm on Sunday pm, along with my car and my trophy (the one from Avon raceway....as well as the Wife...!!)

Thanks again to Dave, Ken & Nathan from API

I am sure there is 11 sec in him....!!! (with a set of Toyo Proxy 888's)

Kind regards

Danny Clarke

P.S YES MY CAR IS A BOY "SONIC" AND YES I DO KISS IT GOOD NIGHT!!

Default MANY APPOLOGIES FOR THE GRAND ENTRANCE AT THE SCCE MEET ON SUNDAY!!



DEAR SUICIDE RENTON ,

HAD YOU INFORMED THE WARWICK LOONEYS!!!!
THAT YOUR SCCE MEET WAS A REGULAR EVENT AND YOU HAD PRIOR PERMISSION TO DISPLAY YOUR FINE COLLECTION OF MODIFIYED JAPANESE MASTERPIECES,
ONE WOULD HAVE REALISED THAT ONE SHOULDN'T ENTER THE CAR PARK
SIDEWAYS THEN PROCEED TO HAND BRAKE TURN ONE'S IMPREZA,
THEN TO TOP IT OFF!!!
TO FINISH THE SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE WITH HALF A DONUT!!
ONLY HELD BACK ALSO BY THE GLIMPS OF DAVID FROM API STANDING THER SHAKING HIS HEAD ...AS MY 3000 MILE WARRANTY WENT UP IN SMOKE

SO ONE LEARNS FROM THIS DONT DO DONUTS IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE GENTALMAN WHO BUILT YOUR ENGINE, GEARBOX, DIFF , TURBO, ETC ETC....
OH AND FIND OUT FROM YOUR INVITE WEATHER IT IS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE TO PERFORM "DONUTS" AT SOCIAL GATHERING!

KIND REGARDS

MR D.M & MRS G .M CLARKE

Mr Clarke is an exception, we've seen him out driving, he gets the 'GOLD STANDARD' warranty. 3 miles or 3 minutes whichever sooner.

Lucky, we seemed to have got away with that too.

Thanks Andy !

Although, I really do think I ought to do the good European thing and report you for using imperial measures.

Please amend your user name to .35Litre or divine retribution will fall upon you. And you 'll be forced to spend your days in Strasbourg......
