Looks like we need to decide on a venue and date.

I can't see why the date can't be as far away as April if it means that it gives everyone enough time to get ready. seems pointless having a shootout to find the country's most powerful scoob if half of them are not there!

Rolling road choice's then!

G-force - good modern set-up - Oxfordshiresh
Power Engineering - maybe a bit dated - Middlesex
Prosport - good modern set-up - stockport

Is there going to be any interest from Mark A , John Banks, Trout????? these cars should be finished by then ;)

So could you cut and copy your name onto the list if you will be ready by March/April time and will have over 400bhp. Also put down your prefered rolling road and once we have got the numbers to enter we can debate where it is nearer the time ;)

Guess you dont want mine as a benchmark then:(

Yeah of course Steven, if your're willing to travel :D

I think one thing that we need to sort out is roller slip problems, there will be some serious cars running, and so far I've yet to come across a rolling road that hasn't had any slip problems. Even G-Force "no slip, no excuses" couldn't keep Harvey's car down with relatively little torque, Christ only knows what will happen when they run a car with some serious grunt ?

I would suggest that it would be better to use somewhere that has a Dynapack, this will ensure that there cannnot be any slip, and it also avoids the tyre pressure / tracking / wrong wheelbase issues. I would suggest some place like Abbey Motorsport, they're well accustomed to running cars which dwarf our little Scoobs, they'll just be tickling their dyno :)

Cheers,

Pat.

Prosport...

Very true Pat, a Dynapack would be a guaranteed accurate for not getting slip :)

Where are Abbey and how many cars do you think they could run in a day?

So does this mean you will be running then Pat ;)

Scott

i just hope all my parts turn up from the states ... god my knuckels are going to be sore............... chris

Before a date can be decided we need definate numbers and a definate venue so that we can book it but i would of thought that a date between late Feb and early April would be likely!

So are anymore up for it? As some kind moderator has moved it to quite a low volume forum :rolleyes: could we point people in the right direction if they want to run ;)

At the moment this is just feeling for input so if enough people want it to happen it will but we need interest :)

Can't see why banzai would'nt want to cover this sort of event too ;)

Scott

Prosport, as its nearer, and on Johns suggestion, but realy not bothered.

April as a suggestion of date.

Oi you bloody northerners, you might have to travel :D

Pat's idea of using a Dynapack is well worth thinking of too, If there are going to be some serious torque monsters there, slip might be a problem. Will Prosport guarantee against slip, say 'about 600lb/ft'

Here ;)

What about John Noble in Cheshire?

Didn't have any problems with Martin Hadlands Escort and 517hp so most Scoobs should be ok.

Seems to read lower than most so there'll be less to brag about afterwards though ;)

Craig

i am in sunny manchester at the moment in a phone box so i will give the cheeky reply when i have more time and am sober :p

i have not got good internet access at the moment but i have got an e-mail back from abbey today and they are interested in running the day at coventry. whatdo you guys think of this, no slip, accurate readidings and nearly opp north ;)

I should be the lowest one there but i will be over 400bhp

:D

Forgot to say, when we know a date, i can get Banzai down for a feature no problem :D

Just scoobs? I reckon C will want to come down with his evo! Lol

Any chance of coming along to spectate?

No! lol

You can wait till its posted up on the net :D

LOL, spectators welcome :)

I'm waiting for another e-mail back from Abbey but they have suggested using a dynapack in conventry. I need to know if people are willing to use the dynapack if prices come back at a sensible rate! A dynapack is more accurate so i think its a good choice!

But we still need more interest! I would of thought that we need at least 20 cars and powerful ones at that ;)
