Fit for Crail now

gearbox with all gears working & a new airflow sensor...so much for my weeks holiday
Fitting my dawes race valve tomorrow and dialling up the boost a bit...hoping to hit the 12.5's on sunday

Pete n' Andy.....up for a scoobynet shootout???

Dave

 

Dave,

U know it m8, my middle names "upforit"
Yeah u r right it is an unusual name

Pete

 

Scoobynet shootout sounds good to me Any tasty machinery going to join us ?? Evo's ? Skylines ? (no 11 sec GTiR's allowed else I'm bringing my bike instead )

Are we racing for real ? ie including reaction times or just the quickest 1/4 time ? Prize for the best terminal speed too ?

Better go see if the auld thing still starts, you guys sound like you've been busy

 

Any baby Scoobs going on Sunday that i can play with?
My baby's not modded enuff to play with the big boys yet

Paul

 

Andy,

Just gettin a datum for the rest of the season.
Startin off at low(ish) boost
Aw naw if we`re takin reaction times in thats me fugged,
reactions get slower as u get older Think at the last one
I almost fell asleep w8in 4 the **** in the other lane 2 stage

Pete

 

Suits me, my R/T's suck I'm on low boost too, for reliability apparently

It's supposed to be better fun than racing

18 psi will do, or was that 1.8 bar ? mmm not sure about that gauge I'm using

 

Just seen on the Crail website that my old car is going to be there on Sunday sob sob


Quote -

On this Sunday 7th April at Crail Raceway we will see the return of "THE BEAST". For those not in the know it's a UVA FUGITIVE kit car with a Chevy 350 cubic inch block and also NOS. Last year it was on Wheelnuts and beat a Suzuki Hayabusa with a time of 9 seconds, its quite a site and is in black livery now and under the ownership of Allen Sivess.

 

CC

Is that (was) the yellow thing?

Paul

 

Just a quickie...Whoever is meeting at the FRB on Sunday morning, if I'm not there on time, leave without me as Saturday night has taken on new importance to me, and I cannot see me being available early doors.

...John

Plus all this talk of shootout and who has the biggest gonads is making me scared.

 

CC
was ur old car at the Scottish Motor Show once?

Seem to recall one like it there.. same layout... same looking exhausts... and saw NOS too...

my brain is fried just now... but think it was last year...
well.. it was the last one at least...

it was in the corridor...

 

Hi Guys,

I will be at crail as well, say hello if you see me, (black legacy turbo estate)

Cheers

Sandy

 

Guys

Shall we say quickest ET of the day wins top scoobynet banana since none of our RT's are worth mentioning .Shouldnt be a problem for Mr low ratio's

BTW the AWD wagon will be there, Andy might run it on the 1/4.Its only had minor underbonnet tweeks, but more in the pipeline.

We'll leave the Beast to play with the bikes

Dave

 

SCO-S

Yes, same car. That was the only time it's been out the garage since he bought it !!

Sunday will be his first event with it, he's had it over a year !

The NOS bottle is on it but it's empty, I sold it with a full bottle but he had to empty it for safety reasons at the show

Dave/Pete - If you catch him on his first runs wi cold tyres you'll blow him wi the scoobs Just stay away later in the day once he gets used to it !

 

Sanders,

No prob bud (likewise, if u see any of us jus shout )

Dave,

ET sounds fair enough 2 me, at least that way I can take it gently off the line b4 blatting it Conserving both clutch and box (maybe). Clutch aint up 2 the job as it is without shock loading it

Andy,
Very weary of kit cars, like i said b4 m8 saw 1 cutting in2 the other lane on some poor sod on the 1/4 The car can be brilliant but if the driver`s crap it`s like puttin a silk hat on a pig m8
That said w8 n c might jus have a pop

L8r
Pete

 

Think it's 6 or 7 quid entry, then 10 or 15? for as many runs as you want after that

Yea, I'll be blaging a shot o the loud yin if possible, dribble dribble !

What do you think ? "Ooh you need to check that dodgy wheel from behind as it launches" or "Sounds like it's running on 7 ??? listen while I run it" mmm nah, need something better than that to prize it off him

Maybe - How come that white/red (delete as appropriate) scooby thrashed you ?

 

LOL @ Andy,

He`ll probably blame the guy that built it

 

I've got my excuse book ready for why it's now slower than it was

I'd better take a set o plugs along as it's only been run in the garage (to show the neighbours) for the last year ! Well fouled up I'm guessing.

It should still run mid - high 10's even with all the extra weight he's added and no NOS. Circuit racing slicks he's got on it now though, they'll take a bit heating up.

I had a pair of wrinkle wall road legal drag tyres on it, mega launch grip even from stone cold using only 8 psi in them Couldn't even think about moving the steering wheel till below 30 mph though

 

i will gve a prize to the quickest scoob on the day
will hand it out last thing if you bring me your time sheets
(dont get to heated up about it we are not that big)

Garry

The prize wouldn't be a bottle of Miller would it?

Paul

 

It's official I'm taking the Saxo to Crail! Only problem is I don't know where it is or what the format is when you get there. Would you scooby owners mind if I meet you at the FRB McDonalds and tail you there?

 

Pete,

Got a mate coming from wayyyy down South (dont hold it against him, not his fault ) and he's bringing his Phase II Calibra. Was rolling roaded at around 290BHP and 330lb/ft, be good to see how it compares to a good decent Scoob......

Up for it if it happens ??

 

I might be running my car..... Not a Scoob but should be quite good

 

Yes, was yellow thing, then black with no bodywork thing, now black with black bodywork thing !

see below for transformation or should that be Evolution ? nah, twas much faster than one o them slow things

On the shoot-out subject.
If the AWD boys are takin their Hearse WRX, my money's on that givin the others a fair run for their money (by the looks of the engine bay)
