Scott,

good to see you too! Great times

Mind you your top speed was a bit wimpy as you had a 100bhp advantage

Oh - yes and I am working on that car

Have a look here...

Top day had by me and me mate. Best time I had was 13.64sec at 99mph. only go a ppp and a de cat center at the mo though, so very pleased with my times. best reaction time I had was 0.089 sooo close to a red light, don't know how I achived it, me foot must have slipped off the clutch. My mates best time was 13.90sec in his near standard Turzo3. He has just put a magnex center and back box on and a 57i induction kit, eager to get it remapped now.

See ya all next year at the next run. Paul.

 

Yes David but my car is as aerodynamic as a house brick with a wind-break on the back

Chris,

thanks for the times - you got the 1/4 results as well

Good to see you yesterday

Rannoch

 

yeah i hung about till 4pm to see the final 1/4 mile times but they never put them up

 

BTTT for Chris and the 1/4 mile times

Scott

 

Any news Chris?

I've had alook on Straightliners website but it hasnt been updated with the results yet

 

How accurate do you reckon the 1/4 timings are?
Not trying to burst your bubbles folk but everyone I know who's done these type of meets (and me) have got slower times when they try it at Santa Pod !!
All relative on the day against each other but I doubt 100% accurate.

 

Blackscooby,

without defending Elvington - the surface there is grippier on the start line than Santa Pod - which is much smoother. The Pod is good after a main event as they put 'glue' down and it is also all rubbered up. However even with slight damp in the air the glue goes all slippery!

It may explain some of the difference - I know that with my Scoob it took an awful lot more to break traction at Elvington in the dry than it did at the Pod.

Rannoch

 

So your saying that the elctronic timing equipment somehow isnt accurate? Or that the reading fluctuates from run to run? Yet Santa Pods dont?? Or is Elvingtons measuring wheel has some rubber missing??

Could it be because Elvingtons concrete is like very abrasive sandpaper to the touch, against the Pods rubber cover tarmac?

 

Rannoch, my sentiments entirely, at The Pod two weeks ago i was sliding all over the shop off the start line, Elvington i was launching as high and the car was just digging in and flying!

 

will post up the 1/4m times later, been mad busy today im afraid.

times at elvington in dry almost identical to pod when its been glued or is sticky. pod isnt always that grippy!

AAAARRGHHH U TEASE

i know im next on the list!!!!!!

 

5th

 

I got 13.14 @ 95mph with a 60 foot time of 1.772
146.7 mph top speed 7th overall in top speed section
Very happy with my times for a MY97 UK turbo with full De-cat and blitz filter running 14 psi boost.
P.S what is classed as a good 60 foot time for a scoob ?

 

Best I try mine out at Elvington then !!

 

Steve,

1.7s is pretty good, 1.6s excellent and below 1.6s is usually drag tyres with launch control!

Rannoch

 

sweet i was hitting 1.7`s as well 0.001 sec slower then steve or sumthing lol

 

Rannoch have you got the black porker ?

 

not read through this, just wanted to ask is anyone going to the trackday at elvington on saturday? i beleive its free to spectate, would be nice to put faces to names

 

SteveCM,

yes, any specific reason for your interest?

Rannoch

 

becuase he smoked your *** and handed it back to you on a scooby sized plate

anybody got the full final 1/4 mile times
there still not on the straightliners site

i checked the standings @ 4pm when it all finnished and they handt been updated

 

Smoked his ***?! LOL..

Wait until his real car makes an appearance..

LOL

JGM

 

LOL i know, i saw the thread

come on then 200plus club blokey, wheres the rest of the times????

 

Lmao at sticky's reply but thats not the reason i was asking lol.
Rannoch the reason i was asking is you have or had a grey 350 ish bhp scoob is that right?
Why did you change to a Porker ? How do you rate it against your scoob ?
The reason i ask is coz a bloke i know just sold his uk scoob and bought a porsche and he says he doesn't like the porsche lmao but his is a boxter 3.2.
Has anyone got the full list of 1/4 mile times as they finished at 4 o'clock ?

 

Steve,

well I tried a Boxster and got straight back into the Scoob!

The 993 is fabulous - brilliant chassis, throttle response and brakes. Above 60mph its pace belies its power - there are times you think the clock must be wrong!

Completely objectively a Spec C would be a faster more modern car - but there is something special about the Pork - and I already have a Scoob!

Still got the grey Sti but it is being rebuilt at the moment.It has taken a few months but the end is nigh! Fingers crossed

Have a look see...
