Me friggin ears are still ringing, what an awsome peice of machinary !

Rob

 

you need a wheelie bar fitting Andy


had a great day, thanks to Scoobyclinic for my VIP pass, very handy got some photos i might put up later

 

the NI boys had a good day in the RWYB subaru class

 

how did you get on? I spoke to stevie briefly but as usual we were pretty busy.

My car had a newly built engine, and suffered from no setup time (300miles of running and 20 mins of mapping on the way over!). The track wasn't as consistent on sunday either, which I think is what made Andy's problems more prominent too. The one in May they prepped the track every time we ran. This time they didn't bother and the grip was a bit up and down, normally I span the tyres, except the second run when they had just prepped the track and I bogged down!

Most interesting run was the first, 10.9@108 after backing off half way down and pootling in 5th gear over the line.

Expect to see some better times from both Andy and I before the year is out.

Paul

 

Hi Paul,

Was thinking about coming to talk to you but was not sure who you were!

We spoke a few weeks ago about my box build, think im almost there cash wise

Look forward to getting my car down to you soon hopefully!

Cheers

PS. Yor car was looking pretty good to me

 

Paul, they prepped the track with some very nice smelling spray on every run we saw.

Neil, it was good to see you guys running again, although you both looked like you were having gear change issues.

Steven

 

When they do it properly though they send the tractor up, which I only saw once. I can't blame the track though, as I didn't have the time to set up as I should have done. Interestingly my first run which I backed off before the 1/8th mile (according to datalogs) was set to be my fastest had I kept it nailed, using only 1.75 bar!

So am less worried about leaks and so on, and hope I just need some time to get it properly mapped.

Paul

 

I didn't see any prep for the 1st run Steven ? Paul and I followed the RWYB and I don't recall anything happening in between ?

On the last run there was mega grip available as I lined up in the tracks of the RX7 which had laid down 2 sticky black stripes

I thought it was a really well organised event, very slick running and excellent regular updates of information, running times, qualifying info etc. Very good effort from Rick in my opinion and (despite the 13 hr round trip) I'd be more than pleased to do this event again next year

Andy

 

Seconded!

 

TBH, I wouldnt know what full track prep consisted off.

I only saw qualifying run 3, and then eliminations. Before the Pros (you guys) ran, they sprayed the track heavily with some stuff i can only describe as smelling like Bubbalicious.

If my car is of a sufficient standard, then i would be very interested in running next year, although it would depend on local accomodation facilities, as i would not like to drive that far on the morning of an event like that (christ knows how you cope Andy, or Paul when he goes to Elvington)

Agree, that it did look very well organised, and from a spectator point of view, it was superb. The 1st time in ages i have had proper itchy feet, and wish i had something to drive.

Good show lads! Keep the good work up.

Steven

 

Andy/Paul - Excellent news, we need guy's like you to stick it up the Ar*e
of the Skyline boyz, apart from team Ice and yourselves their don't seem to
be my others capable at the moment !!

Rob

 

Oh there is

Andy Forrest Performance
Roger Clarke Motorsport
Zen Performance
Lateral Performance
Scoobyclinic (Mikee Singh)

They are all top cars IMO, and have done Subarus proud in 2005

Steven

 

Mikee recorded another personal best, which he has managed time and time again this year, something that can come of not monkeying with stuff all the time like some of us do!

Paul

 

Too true Paul, i am still adamant i could knock the best part of a second off my time at SSO, just by getting used to the car and trying different things from a driving point of view.

 

Steve - I don't think you read my thread properly.

I quoted Andy from Andy Forest Performance and Paul fom Zen in Northants
I also beleive that Roger Clarke did the development for Team Ice's car?

Those were the big hitters i was quoting.

Don't get me wrong i'm in awe of all of them, but just a few stand out !!

Rob

 

Rob, i read it correctly, i was merely adding 2 more cars, that in my eyes stood out over 2005. Granted, i have a close connection to one of those cars, but Mikee needed mentioning because he has done exceptionally well this year.

Times recorded this year

AFP 9.82
RCMS 9.84
Zen 10.3
LP 10.4
MS 10.6

When you consider the weights of the above cars, some of the times are very impressive.

Steven

 

Impressive result by roger clark / ice team the semi final and final was very very close, well done

I was behind you on one of your runs, you car was almost went sideways off line



Paul, 10.5 still not a bad result saying you put car back together in last few days
Looking forward to seeing better results from you and andy

Nice to meet you and Michael on Saturday, did Michael win Subaru RWYB class in his legacy? I think he ran a 11.2.

Im happy with my result 10.6 @ 128mph (no nos, launch control or anti-lag) still think theres a bit more to come from car, maybe 10.5? once I get boost problem sorted.
Thanks to smg, kev, adam and everyone else that helped me yesterday, much appreciated also big thank you to scoobyclinic who worked flat out on my car last week getting it ready for Sunday, including building a new gearbox and rear diff and and pat for re-map on Friday, still can’t believe the result 500ft/lb (up from 430) and 526 bhp. its mental on the road

Top day, looking forward to next years

steven, if you enter your own car next year whos going to drive marks (lateral) car

mikee

 

Mikee, who knows, perhaps the bidding should start, or i might teach Mark how to drive in the mean time

 

they didn't prep the track for the 3 qualifying runs except for a brush and scrub every so often, only when it came to the quarters did they lay down the glue, first by hand with a spray, then via the tanker attached to a nissan bluebird for the semis & final

 

Possibly because I tried to avoid the newly sprayed water puddle in the burn out box but ended up dipping only the two RH tyres in it ! Exit stage right

So when you going to fit a BIGGER turbo Mikee..........and go slower

Andy

 

Congratulations to everyone!

Was a really good day and was pretty awe-inspiring to see a large number of Scoobs getting in the 10's..... something that seemed so far off a few yrs ago when people were gunning to get 300bhp out of their motors!

Huge respect!

Regards,
Shaun.

 

Too right!!, being able to put this on the side of your car must be the
dream of most of us.



Rob

 

still you would have beaten that bloody camper van on one of them
actually it was a mate and we were trying out a new spool.he works for prodrive on the scooby rally team back from japan on tuesday build a box on thursday fit it on saturday break it on sunday, engine and box out and new box in ,in an hour and make some poor sod in a red mr2 look very slow.
but i suppose thats what 3lts of porsche and 150shot of twisted sanity nos does

it will run 13.5sec qtrs on a good prepped track on slicks.

 

i have 3 vdubs with scoobs in now, a vw t25 pick up with ej22 running 15.99 with nitrous ,not bad for a 2 ton truck.
a legacy turbo in a bug maybe twin turbo if i can find one .and another camper with ej 22 but legacy turbo if the twin turns up.bubba (man in camper)is putting a 600bhp rally engine in a camper next year we were asked not to bring the quick vws (9-10 second street cars) dunno why scooby and vw`s make a great street sleeper combo.

 

mark will allways be 11's driver

when i beat your 10.5 time on gt30

having second thoughts about bigger engine/turbo or next year after hearing about you/paul/mark always breaking stuff

 

thanks mikee for the advise about setting the diff i got 12.4 before i was getting 13.1

 

PMSL after the first time you remember to stick your fingers in your ears the next time it runs

 

13.1 at 101mph :-)

car = standard wr1

 

i think we came 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the RWYB subaru class. (class E I think). east coast customs from lisburn did an 11.007 at the end of the day for 1st.

 

Kev, the 1st runs we saw were qualifying round 3, and we were stood at the back of the stand behind the start. They definately prepped the track with glue. They later used the bluebird as the hand spray seemed to pack in working.
