altho i dont have all the official times yet for the finals, quick thanks to all who came along and persevered through the rain early on to wait for the finals. luckily the weather cleared and we had a cracking final.
Andy Forrest won against Steven Darley in the final on a damp track, both drivers made superb starts with steven equalling andys start and first 1/8th, but andy powered throught to win.
Andy also topped a superb day with two new fastest times i believe, in the dry this morning he ran 9.39s 154mph first run, then immediately ran 9.4s 150mph. i'll post the full official times when we get them tonight/tomorrow.
many thanks also to the competitors who came for the trophy presentations, and to the event sponsors for providing some excellent prizes.
a couple of prizes still have to be delivered to us (24ct gold nitrous bottle from Nitrous supplies is one for Andy F!) and these will be sorted shortly.
many thanks once again to all, great final.

Many thanks to all who attended today, what a day. First bright sunshine then torrential downpours but it didn`t dampen the spirit of everybody. The whole atmosphere was great. I was pleased to see Alan B get a good run and for Andy F for being, where do I start, not being biased or anything?
There was a lot of cracking cars on show today. But Andy F just blew me away, how do you do get that power from a Scoob??????? Only he knows
Once again, many thanks to all.

tbh andy made it look very easy today, 1.5s 60fts, 2 x 9s runs on his first attempts. steven pushed him hard in the final from the off, but andy had a cracking day with consistency throughout. no reason why he cant win totb with performances like that. drag finals are a pressure job when its first across the line and the start actually counts, not easy by any means.
plans afoot already to make next years Scoobyshootout even bigger and better, and hopefully to get a date that doesnt clash with anything else.
the weather has been booked also well in advance :-)
