ha ha
i might have done well if i could stop getting lost on the track, kept finding cones under the ra-r after each lap,
i think the track was a bit disapointing 5 hairpins and 1 kink, ideal for quick spooling cars.

you all look worried in the pics, did you know something that i didnt

Yeah I was a little disapointed with it too. Was hoping for some fast corners. Was a fun day though. Got a couple of good vids from the sidelines.

i thought you would have entered duncan everything ok with the car or was you just giving it a rest for snett.

I prefer proper tracks - airfields are a bit mickey mouse IMO.

My car was built, specced and developed for time attack and I didn't see the point of risking messing up the chances for snetterton up there with nothing to gain from doing it and everything to lose.

So, you decided whether you will be in club next year ?

You guys sound like a good bunch. Was hoping to enter SS but been having problems witht he car on a shoe string budget.

Ill have to make a better effort to get along in 2010. Mate is entering TA so ill pop over and say hi.

Good luck to all ! Look forward to meeting you and seeing your machines in action!

I'm fairly certain it will be club pro ,but i'll know more once the car is built and i do some testing.
All really depends on how fast i am

Shaun

Duncan,
You want to watch yourself up on that perch, looking down on us mere mortals. I suspect that TOTB on an airfield, that you yourself took part in this year (and got beat by Rob North in his advanced shopping trolley on the handling circuit) was also mickey mouse..... let alone the ScoobySprint Championship. I am pretty sure that the likes of Prodrive and RCM and many other Professional establishments, would not share your view.

I agree with you.... you certainly DID have a lot to lose entering any round of ScoobySprint. Which had nothing to do with your Time Attack Season and everything to do with getting beat by much lesser spec'd cars!!

fpmsl Shaun - why do you take everything so personally and turn everything into a bitching competition?

Yes I did TOTB, it was an honour to be chosen to represent Team Subaru and I tried my hardest to get points for the team. It was a great day and I enjoyed it because of the team spirit. The fact that I had plenty of time afterwards to make good anything that happened (luckily nothing did) made it all the better.

As to what events I do - why should I be pressured into doing an event that I didn't want to do, had not budgeted to do, to risk breaking something and ruining the chances of me getting out there in 2 weeks time at Snetterton to finish the job in TA (which has been the sole focus of this year) ? .... all because you would be calling names - Shaun get a life dude. You can keep your petty little so and so did this that and the other better than you - i am not bothered.

Can we get back to the topic of this thread .. ie Time Attack now or do you want to swing your handbag some more?

Interesting you mention RCM Shaun, as i was having a casual chat with Matt Clark yesterday, and we got talking about the sprint type circuits that are at events such as TOTB and SSO, and his view was that they don't really interest him, as they are not what the car was designed for, so saying a shopping car got within .2 of a second of/or beat the gobstopper doesnt bother him one bit, because he knows that when the same cars go on a proper circuit, the time difference will be huge.



You going to run your shopping car at the last Time Attack at Snetterton, which iirc is a circuit you like? Would be interesting to see what time it could achieve round there.

Andy, how is the new build going? Still on target for Snetterton?

Pretty sure he is breaking the car

oh!

Andy.F

So back on topic.

Are we going to have proper rules and regs this year ? If so when ?

Andy

RA Dunk

IMO the rules are a shambles, far too many cars with 500-600+ competing with cars 300-400 in club class for easy points kind of taking the fun out of it IMO

Andy.F

I agree. The series will just disappear up its own *** if they don't bring in decent regs that give the guys running a tight budget a chance, at least in club class. It has already lost a lot of entrys compared to last year.

Shaun

Yes... I am fully aware of RCM's view of what they prefer, but I suspect they put it a slightly different way.

I'm sure RCM's car would give most (in fact it has already) a good pasting, in whatever discipline. If you think I would EVER compare a sprint car with a track car, then you must be back on the funny pills. I am all too aware of the advantages a track car has, on the track.

Yes... I was comtemplating doing Snetterton, but I know my driving is no where near good enough. Having a driver that can actually pedal, I know a pretty much standard Spec C can get around there in at least the 1:18's (as Litcho did in TunerGP 2006)... so yes, I suspect with Simon driving it could potentially do well for what it is.

But no... I am not running TA at Snetterton, but will be doing Snetterton the Thursday before, to get that much needed practice in. I would expect my car would get trounced anyway...... i'm not THAT stupid!

Anyway.... apologies to the OP!

So why you been banging on about comparing a sprint car to a drag car Would be interested in trying some of your funny pills you mention.

That's a shame, would have been interesting to see what it could do, with whoever driving, as you would have a resonable comparitor by looking at the likes of Andy Harvey's times around there.

Didnt realise there was one on the Thursday, thought it was the Saturday with the MLR etc. Good luck, no doubt you will keep us informed how you get on.

Shaun

Mmmm... I think you have my car mixed up with someone elses. My car is no where near being a sprint car, it is only a daily run about steven.

JB1

I hope so Andy. But, even if there are some I think it will be very late in the year or even next year before we see them. The ones that are out there for this year aren't all that clear in places so I'm not holding out much hope.

There certainly needs to be detailed class peramiters. Not just a very strange 5% timing rule. It should also be based on the car, not the drivers ability (I think I have said that a few times now).
