Complete washout of a day, rain, rain, rain! Non the less saw sevral scoobys, a tasty black type R, stickered spoiler-less white classicans a pale blue classic that i folllowed in!

 

I decided not to go due to the weather forecast.

Did you see many runs?

 

yeah ive been spotted i think the black type r was it destickered w reg with a small front no plate?

 

no runs at all waited for nearly 3 hours for the rain to finish the sun came out and they said there was to much standing water to run any cars

 

No runs at all, gonna try again at the end of October!

Dark Destroyer - Sounds like yours, nice motor! I was the silver type R parked just up from you, scoobyclinic stickers in the back windows. Spent most of the day sat in my mates vectra watching DVD's!

 

hi i saw you pull in very nice looking motor dose look nice in silver im going back up on the 28th i think ive never ran before and a few of my mates who have want to try and beat me (the white evo and the 2 saphire cossies) if you see me next time come over and say hi

 

Dark destroyer I wasnt there but I think you might of met my mate in a white stripped out escort cosworth?

He said he meet some lads with saffs and a subaru. Ive got a wagon and should be going up the next time its on.

 

I`ll be going back on the 28th too (wetaher permiting!) I`ll bowl over and say Hi, can help hold up the scooby flag against the EVOs and cossies! It`ll be my second time running in the scooby (many times previous in FWD Vauxhalls!) My first time i only got 4 runs cus it was soo busy and just couldnt get the launch anywhere near right! So hoping for much better times.

What spec is your car dude?

 

hi bico my launch technic is drop the clutch at around 6000rpm and prey nothing breaks i dont weather it will work on the strip tho my spec is fmic 3 inch scoobysport exh and decat uprated bottom end and soon to be running on gems with a bigger turbo and set of injectors with anti lag and launch control im also after a set of 17 inch p1 wheels and tein coilovers what spec is yours?

 

Avon aren't as good at drying the track as Santa Pod. I don't think their drying equipment is as good and/or the willingness to use it.

Pod are very good at drying the track.

 

hi mate yeah that escort looks a weapon hope to see you there on the 28th

 

Pod is just so busy these days!

I was launching at around 4K and dropping the clutch with diff set nearly locked, just kept bogging down. The car is only mildly modded, Scoobyclinic Decat Full System, Uprated fuel pump and remap. Oh and no back seats or boot trimmings, (only ever two of us in the car!) It made 316bhp in the middle of summer with ridiculous ambient air temps, and weighed in at 1195Kg on the weigh bridge. Ran 13.4 at Santa Pod, but my 60ft times where over 2 seconds so will go much quicker!

 

Yeah you should get a better time than that with a better launch. My wagon has a bit less power than yours and I got a 12.7 with a 1.7 60ft. Just rev it more. I think I was holding it at about 5000rpm maybe a bit more.

 

try unlocking the diff a little more (less likley to break anything)

 

Any of you guys going the jap show on sunday?

 

unfortunatly im not funds not available at the moment as we have just had another kiddy i love my car and going to shows but it has to be family first
