Looking at the TOTB live update page, the scoobys did VERY poorly :/
Only one mention in any category and that was in the 1/4 mile Drag - 9.91sec @132 by mikee singh. And that was only good enough to qualify 6th :/
Hate to say it, but the EVO tuners have some severely quick machinery atm!

I think the Toyota was driven by a true pro!!

There were plenty of Suburus there from my perspective. The main problem this year was missing two or three big performances from the Scoobs.

Also the MLR team was strong this year.

Subaru ended up sixth - at least we beat the Vauxhall team

So, just thinking of who i have seen there previously... the main regularish scooby teams i can recall:

Roger Clarke
Team ICE
Zen
Lateral
Andy Forrest
Scoobyclinic

Most of these were not in attendance i assume?

They have improved their website, now they need to improve the show it self, £20 is far to expensive just to watch 2 events & a helicoptor fly around ...disapointed Subaru were poor, but even worse was the day out it self...

Roger Clarke Absent

Zen Did not see them there
Lateral Present (Classics ran, but the Hawk eye didnt)
Andy Forrest Did not see them there
Scoobyclinic Present

PS the RX7 drifting was great show boating....

The Blobeye with the large front mount was awesome to watch along with a few others, BUT yes the EVO boys got the lime light today with incredible runs and driving .

The EVO team was the strongest team they have ever fielded and was an obvious result.

Andy forrest was there with a Hawkeye RA cause I saw him do the handling, unfortunately the most successful Scooby (Mikee Sing Scooby Clinic) blew up spectacularly on his last run most of the competative scooby teams had problems.

However the Scoobys were very outnumbered by Evos, both on the track and on the club stands, didnt walk through the car park so not sure about elswhere.

£20 per car I wish (maybe if your on your own). £20 per person more like. Cost my car £140 lol

~I dont mind paying the entrance money, but i get the feeling we are seeing a decreasing number of entrants each year, I just hope the DVD this year doent become another Dick turpin . I never got my pucka TOTB 2009 DVD nor a refund that I requested 3 times.

As for food, its the same story at any motorsport event im afraid. £6.40 for a burger and coffee, so if you spent £60 you must have eaten all the pies .

The yellow Irish Evo was superb until its transmission went bang .

You cant really call TOTB, TOTB anymore, as the teams arn't all made up of a single marque anymore.

For example team Tweenie has the Toyota's of Adrian Smith and Jonnie Milner, plus skylines and a turbo dax rush. Octane junkies have multi marque cars running......

The Subaru team did miss some of it's traditional big hitters, AndyF has sold his 1/4 and Top Speed car that would have hauled points in those events, RCM didnt run anything, Zen no longer have their quick car, so that's 3 major losses that not only would score good points, but would take them off the oposition.

So it was always going to be a difficult task this year, but the guys that did run gave it their best shot, so congratulations to them for taking part and putting their own money and time into it. The team had it's fair share of mechanical failures which stopped some points scoring, John Stevenson would have done very well on the handling but broke a gearbox, the banana broke it's box before having the chance to score in anything, that may well have won on handling and scored well in the other two disiplines.

It's clear to see the EVO's have moved up a gear in terms of handling in particular, mainly down to the MLR running a very competitive sprint series. I had a guest entry to the round at teeside this weekend and they thrashed me with a 22nd finish position, where as in scoobysprint i was able to finish top 6 in a stock spec JDM STi, so they do have a depth of cars to choose from now.

Anyway, well done to all that took part, the team spirit was a great as ever, but this year it didnt go as well as hoped. There is always next year, although TOTB it really isnt anymore.

I was so close to points with 11th on drag and on top speed. My 10.16 was 0.02 off 9th place. Top speed I had 172.1 so not far away.

I will be faster next year !
