Was a really good weekend there and made a change to be able to wear shorts and t-shirt at night without freezing my ***** off

Was way to windy for me...well thats my excuse, and have to say had terrible trouble using the 6 speed box for the first time.....

Only had 1 clean run a nd managed a 12.00 dead quarter...

Was hoping to better my 11.59 from last year...

But on a good note got a 60ft time of 1.63 which is a p.b....

Also saw a silver evo with some serious issues after the handling course and ayellow Noble on a recovery truck at the end...

Need more practise with the 6 speed i think....if not then will be going back to a 5 speed.

I was there, saw some serious subaru metal, handing alot of cars their own ****.
Got a 14.00 dead @100mph on my vf35'd 2002 wrx. However i'm suffering bad lag, due to duff turbo or up pipe, haven't figured out which it is yet?!

What was the P1,s time......someone had mentioned an 11.9 too me ???

I,m sure the wind played a big part on terminal speeds...as my p.b is 117mph and was getting nowhere near that..

Some amazingly quick times you guys ran, I didnt run mine this time round.
The best Ive managed at the pod is a 13.8 in a 300 bhp classic. poor I know, it bogs down so much on the line that it nearly stalls or I have to slip the clutch, and that is bad news...

What is the secret to getting a Scoob off the line at the pod????

I think I should be able to get low 13's as my terminal speed is 103 mph.

Is anyone else running a 300 ish bhp classic WRX here? What times do you run???
