I get to the use the car drag strip a couple of times a year, and earlier this year i ran a personal best of 10.16 @ 134mph at Santa Pod, being so close to a 9 second run, we decided to loose some more weight from car for the ten of the best competition last weekend, the car shed another 160lb, which helps but we had to run drag radial tyres (road legal) for this competion and not the MT drag tyres i ran last time.



1st run of the day was at 1.4 bar boost
10.59 @ 132mph with a 1.66 60ft

2nd run: boost was turned upto 1.6 bar + suspension tweek
10.27 @ 136 with a 1.63 60ft

3rd run: boost still at 1.6 bar + suspension tweek
10.20 @ 136 with a 1.60 60ft

4th run: boost turned upto 1.8 bar + suspension tweek + tyre pressures droped
10.17 @ 137 with a 1.57 60ft (but was getting misfire in 3rd and 4th gear)

decided to swap plugs, after pat checked datalogs

5th run: boost back down to 1.6 bar to check + tyre pressures droped
10.18 @ 135 with a 1.56 60ft

6th run: boost turned back upto 1.8 bar
10.00 @ 138mph with a 1.60 60ft

7th run: boost still at 1.8 bar + tyre pressures droped
9.91 @ 132mph with a 1.53 60ft
YouTube- 9.91 @ 132mph Scoobyclinic Impreza with GT30 Billet

I got my first 9 second run but knew i could go quicker with a bit more boost, i should of stoped there but asked pat to put boost upto 2 bar

8th run: boost at 2 bar
9.96 @ 132mph with a 1.55 60ft (but slow 3rd gear change)

9th run: boost still at 2 bar + tyre pressures droped
10.00 @ 132mph with a 1.53 60ft (but got a slight misfire in 4th gear)
YouTube- 10.00 @ 132mph Scoobyclinic Impreza with GT30 Billet

decided to have 1 last run (big mistake) due to 5 minutes left to cut of time for final and i only need to get 9.89 to qualify in 4th for eliminators

10th run: 2bar + tire pressures droped
got 1.52 60ft best of day but manley rod decided to exit the block

here is a incar video 9.96 & 10.00 run

Car ended up being 6th overall on drag strip and missing out to 4th place by only 0.01 of a second and the 60ft on final run (1.52) was the fastest of the day.

the car is now being fitted with new built 2.6 engine and GT35r Billet for the time attack final in 2 months and hopefully i'll get to take it up the strip the weekend after.

 

Awesome time fella, shame she broke at the end there Were you at the 30-130 day this year?

Who does the car belong to mikee ?

 

Hi,

Scoobyclinic.

Mikee and Kev/bev drive it and organise the motorsport events we attend, our part of the deal is we built it and maintain it.

Later this year we have 6 scoobyclinc race cars doing the Birket endurance race at silverstone 30th oct, should be interesting.

Cheers
