Not many scoobs at crail today...had to settle for racing Pulsars, Willie's Noble and crotch rockets for a bit of sport.

Cosie Convert where were you??

Are you coming along to the next one on the 7th??

I ran a 12.776ET @ 111.94mph today

Dave

 

well done
that is fuken impressive mate !!!!!



sam

 

What's a "crotch rocket"?

 

Nice one Dave

I was out playing with John Bank's car and assisting with the new EBC set up.

Didn't think there was going to be much competition at Crail

Looks like it's going to be fun next time....the race to 11s is on !

C'mon Sam, the Scoobs are pulling away

 

all under control andy till the next time


sam

 

Didn't beat much myself yesterday, dunno what my times are cos they havnae been updated on the site yet, regardless i still need more power

would a superchip make much difference? just until i save up enuff for my supercharger conversion.

Had a great drive though on Sunday, some quality country road sections. Safely say thats the fastest ive ever taken my car round any section of road :-0 was hairy but great fun.

Was nice to meet up with the peeps from perth and Dundee for the journey through.

*dave* what u said about having to have a bolt loose to drive a scooby was bang on m8 lol

 

Nissan mad

fast & furious...just before they blow up the green eclipse..another name for the two wheeled variety of fast transportation.

CC & Sam
I was told there will be scouts at the next event looking out for the quickest cars.Theres a 'quickest car in Scotland' shootout scheduled for later in the year...so dont miss the next one on the 7th
One of my club members is getting his gti-r rebuilt by DP.It ran low 11's last year and should be down in the 10's once the 2.2 litre mega huge turbo conversion is complete...

Dave

 

Oooh time to go and borrow my old car back for a day

Dave, Not Diss'ing the GtiR but if the previous 11 second run was before the staging lights were fitted then it wasn't real ! A 6 foot run up to the start line can take more than half a second off your ET A 10 foot run up will chop off almost a full second !

My old car ran a best of 9.3 (before lights fitted) at Crail. Later in the year, at York, the best I could get (with proper staging lights) was a 9.4 and that was on a far better surface and running 120 bhp more nitrous ! The front of the car actually lifted about 6" in 1st gear off the line, if I could have got this sort of traction at Crail, (and taking a run at the start ) it would have been in the 8's

Those Escort cossies supposedly had 500bhp and were still in the low 12's. How much do you think the GTiR going to produce ??

 

i know about this dave :d

i have been already told to keep this date in mind, but i think they just want to see how many poeple can thrash an evo 7 on a strip .

is not that date some time in july/august though?

not sure if my clutch will hold another one though . i think will be going to croft on the 6 of april if the car is ready though.


sam

 

Huraay! Sam! get yourself down!
there will be a nice STi7 for you to play with!

theres 4 scoobs plus a well sorted Puma and god knows what else!

See ya there!

Lee

 

Cheers Dave Brown. "Crotch Rocket" makes sense now.

 

Oh, by the way, I WAS "Nissan Mad", changed name to a more appropriate name.

 

1/4mile 15.905 sec R/T 0.225 sec 60FT 0.257 sec Max Speed 87.04 mph

pish!

 

SVX
Tell me that wasn't in a Scoob !
Paul

 

yup

sub svx

its an automatic 3.3 so i guess that aint bad, prolly weighs 3xmore than a preza

*lol*

 

Do excuse my ignorance but what's a sub svx?

 

an underwater submersible!!

joking

subaru svx
3.3 l Flat 6

240bhp
4wd/4ws/

 

SVX,

Did you get blown away by an Ibiza Cupra?

 

CC

the gtir ran low 11's at santa Pod, it did a couple of runs at Crail last year but minced a main bearing..game over.It had been previously dynoed at 397 bhp running 2bar.With the new stroker kit, turbo etc. etc. it should be around the 500 mark.Hes also looking into some seriuos weight reduction, carbon panels etc.

I can also compare times with York & the old Crail system, I did a couple of club shootout events down there in my Pulsar.My best at York was a 12.4, second quickest to a 500bhp cossie 4x4 capri with NOS...the one on the Clarkson video.

Dave

 

That sounds a well wicked shopping trolley he's got there

I would have loved a run at Santa pod with my V8 toy, that surface is just like 1/2" thick pure rubber ! Traction galore

Not much point going down with the Subaru, it will run in the 12's in the rain

 

bluenose! nope...didn't race one this week from my recollection, raced once about a month and sailed it

think ive beaten most cupras ive raced up the strip (although never say never)
