Crail. The RS owners day on the 30th of this month.

Who is going to try and get a better run than an Escort Cosworth with serious poke and some trick bits on it.

Its the shoot out for the RS owners to go down to Santa Pod, so lets see what is going to be competitive on the scooby side.

Lets hear it. Who has a 450 hp scooby tucked away in their garage or a 700 hp EVO.
No TVR or Porsche owners please. (only joking)

Hello KevtypeRA. Long time since you have been out! Hows the Scooby? Still running 550 bhp on the std gearbox or did you get that Prodrive one yet?

Moses. What times you hoping for. Are you the guy with white EVO 7 I spoke to at crail last. I was with my mate in the mallard green escort.
Take it the quick scooby is Andys RA.

Kevin Sharp. You should do good with the new box. What times you looking for?

See you at Crail. Whip your *** in my new RA.

And as for your brother, he will need to take a look at the front of my car, cause all he will see is the back on the 1/4 mile!

KEVIN.Sounds good to me.

A friend of mine is taking his Escort up for its debut run at Crail. He too is looking for 11's .

Should be a good day.
Need to see what the scooby can do.

Kev RA. I have about 310bhp (ish) So I will be looking for a run in the 12's.

A wee blast round Knockhill should sort out men from the boys.
What do you think?
Mick in the P 1
You with the RA
Me with the STI
Your dad with the RST
Colin with the Saphire
Jason with the TVR
Steve with the V6
.......................Oh, and Stewart with the Cossie rally car!

Place your bets now.

HI SOOB. I thought your sti was only 300bhp.
Knockhill should show whats fastest,but you better watch that corner that you keep spinning at.

Ho ho ho. You been out with yours yet at KH?
No, did'nt think so.
What do you think your chances are of getting a bigger cheer at the hairpin than me when it comes to the old handbreke trick?

Or will we get second best to Colin McRae MK2?

Hey guys

Any 2.0 litres running under 11.7 at Crail yet ? or under 59 secs at Knockhill ?

Might need to clear the dust off the old Scoob and see how it goes now with its extra 70 bhp from last year

KevRA. Sorry aboot the spelin. I went to public school you see, not private education like yourself. Or was it special needs school?
Any way nuff bitchin. Here is the score. Scoobys out in front followed by Cossies and TVR's

Andy.Sounds like you have been busy again. How do you manage it?
You going to Crail on the 30th? Show them how it's done.
There should be enough quick motors to keep you on your toes.

Cheers

by the way kev

andy held the record at crail for a yr when his car was only 357 torque all done by himself then dave jones got the over 1000 bhp jun skyline he broke it and done it in 11.2 with parts missing in his engine, so andy broke his own record and done it at 11.7 not bad for a car that was only 370 bhp and 357 torque no one has bet him yet with even double that

excellent time from andy then, would be good for his car and mine
to run together at crail, i usually end up lined up with all the corsa boys (no offence adam but rofl anyway)and its a bit
boring cos its no real competition

Moses, am I not your hero anymore I've changed my gearing from that ultra short box now. It's quicker running longer gears, less shifts

What about John Banks then, thrashing the fastest evo in Scotland (Barry) at Glenrothes airfield

Kevin - Last year I ran 11.78 best at Crail, beat the black escort cossie and the blue one, still to run against the green one though Oh, forgot the 580 bhp R33 Skyline, got him too
The 1000 bhp one was a different story though but when my whole car cost less than his gearbox so that's some compensation !
