I am off to Santa Pod tomorrow and I was interested in what sort of times I could expect?
I have been before in my last few cars, but this will be my first time in the Scoob. It is a uk turbo, standard apart from a TSL group N backbox (thank you trouser I am VERY pleased with it, and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade the sound is amazing!) & an itg filter.
What sort of times have other peolpe got there?
Cheers

Depends how agressive you are with the clutch and how many revs you dial in before launch. UK turbo fairly standard probably about early to mid 14's to 16's depending on agrressiveness. Go easy on the clutch as they are expensive and so are diffs and gearboxes. As it likely too be cold this may help but grip maybe reduced, so its swings and roundabouts

D'OH got there at 10.00am, track was very wet. They spent the next 2 hours trying to dry the track. By 12 it was looking dry(ish). Then came the rain again so no runs for us today.
I have try next year, I think the next RWYB is Jan 27 2002.

The question was posted for a fairly standard UK model . Whats the 1/4 for a 220 bhp Escort Cossie ????
SK if you talking like for like then an STI with 280PS then you are looking at mids 12's and thats standard tune. A 330 bhp scoob I would expect very low 12's.

Scooby_Killer,
a Scoob with a genuine 330bhp at the flywheel will post a better time than 12.9 - we know we have seen it!
Don't forget, a UK car 'only' has about 220bhp, and we have seen those do mid-13s.

Craig said : 2 Scoobs had major problems fairly shortly after the event.......
I played a golf tournament last week. First prize was a 4 week Carribean Cruise. Third prize was a piece of cut glass. I won third, two shots behind the winner. After the competition I went out again and had five birdies. I still didn't get the cruise. Can you tell me why this is the case Craig?
