Firstly just a quick thankyou to the other scoob drivers at the pod today top people, friendly and some top cars!!!
Must say that the yellow type R was my favourite, sexual car mate!
am i allowed to say that
Good job Dan B didnt come over today, i think he would have made a bit of a mess of type R man's black version 5 type R lol.
Anyway, Not too sure of the user names for each scoob but, i'm sure you'll post...
SDUKES got 14.1 1/4
Yellow type R 13.5 1/4
UK300 last race i saw was low 14 1/4 (think 14.1-14.2)
Sorry bout6 the other scoobs, didnt catch times...

So... my first run was terrible, i hit the rev limiter in first and stopped me gettin it into 2nd for a sec... got a good reaction time and a 1/4 time of 13.6 @ 98mph..

Second run was my favourite!! pulled along side a mental looking single dustbin turbo RX7 (fast and furious stylie!) he asked what i was running and i told him 14's (only a little white lie ) and he said he was running 13.5 and was hoping to to get a low 13 this time..
**** i thought!!
I got a superb start and all gears selected sweetly, Mr RX7 13.2 Mr 93WRX 12.8
Time for lunch i thought.. had some munch and watched some races for a while, Chris from PE was there in his hardcore fiesta.. Not sure that it was running right as he only manged 13's and i'm sure it is good for 11's??
A lot of Escort cossies there today, most getting 13's with two sapphires gettin high 11's low 12's

The pod staff had a break for lunch and then i thought i would cue up for one last run before heading off, when i got to the line there was a problem with a drag car that had run previously which was stuck on the track so a lot of messing about!!
when i finally got to run i got paired up with an american car which was feckin loud!!!
...i lost this race but got my best time of the day... american car 12.128 @ 118.16 and me 12.875 @ 106.39..
wasnt that bothered about the lose as i was not that far behind

One car did make me smile today!!!
A white Nova cabriolet with a calibra turbo engine, how could anyone spend that much money on a nova!! lol

Oh well.. for the people still awake after reading this, roll on 11's..

Trout, definately not in the big boys league yet!!!
I'm workin on it though
All i could think about is how much faster than mine a scoob would have to be/feel to break 11's .... A BLOODY LOT!!
not too keen on top speed runs... and standard suspension aint gonna help on the curcuit
One day though

What sort of power do you think you've got? What sort of power does a 93 wrx have as standard?

Good times by the way, well done

hehe i went with UHF and cant believe that nova had a turbo. thought it looked weird being a convertable, but a turbo as well, £££££££££ i think.

tho good day with some really nice cars, shame UHF didnt get print out tho, plus his cam-corder battery died when he went up to the line, so no video either.

DOH!!!

lol... that nova didn't cost an awful lot to build, and crosses the line at well over 110mph, and will do 12s easy if it ever gets traction..

now tell me that's isn't more fun than a barrel fun of drug crazed capuchins, go catch it if you can

Cheer Darren, either that or i have less respect for my clutch/gearbox than other poeple
Maestro... bloody hell thats good for a front drive!!

Went up with a few others, mate Jeff took his pulsar out a couple of times, his best run was 13.3 @ 0.9bar which he wasnt too happy about, he really wanted to get in the 12's, however i was quite impressed with it.. deffo the best sounding pulsar ive heard (full nismo)
