CRAIL ON 28TH SEPTEMBER

[jacqui_robb]

Anyone going to the Fast Car Day at Crail on the 28th September???

[gardner]

JUST GOT MY SCOOBY LAST SAT AND GOING DOWN TO CRAIL.

WANT TO KNOW WHERE FIFE MEMBERS MEET AND WHEN

[teknopete]

Yeah,

There`ll b a meet organised nearer the time folks.

Normal meet for Crail is at Riverside snack bar in Dundee (at the east end of the airport).

But keep u r eyes peeled 4 now.

Crail is getting bad press atm with high charges and some of the 'ned' brigade closing in.

Any chance of a SIDC/SNet RR day with Glenrothes Airfield before the snow starts?

KH start lights at HHSpect. looked small and portable. If anybody knows of any other venues, please feel free to contribute.

P.S. Am I allowed to say 'Snet' in these forums??

[johns]

Dougster - of course you are allowed to mention Snet

Your message about lights is a bit cryptic though ?

Other venues - who do we contact about hiring Glenrothes airfield, and I believe someone else was looking into the possibility of Edzell (just north of Dundee) as well - I believe they do bikers track days there at the moment.

[dougster]

KH had little portable starting lights, different from the large gantry type thing I have seen before.

Pete has contact details of Glenrothes airfield afaik.

[zeolite]

What do you do at Glenrothes airfield?

[gardner]

FLY

[johns]

I think you can do anything you like at Glenrothes airfield

[zeolite]

Thank you for your witty and no doubt(!) original remarks. What I was asking

was what motor car related activities would be available at a place where

there is one strip of tarmac? I have never heard of the airport being used

before.

[teknopete]

Zeo,

We occasionally do some one on one racing etc at the airfield.

These events are normally held after dyno sessions

So we can see if he who can pee furthest up the wall can use it

Like is said "it aint how you stand by your car, its how you race it"

Pete

[zeolite]

Thanks for that Pete.

Which dyno/RR do you use?

[teknopete]

Dyno sessions are held at Star Performance in Glenrothes.

There was some extensive work and experimentation with Jim over the last few years to ensure the dyno figures were

true to life, as it was found 4wd dyno`ing had lots of additional factors to be considered. Now though IMHO we are on the

nose and figures are available for dyno`ing Scoobs, evos etc accurately

But for now who`s all goin 2 Crail on Sunday ?

I`d anticipate that it`ll b chok a blok so in order 2 get a good pitch it`d be wise to get there early

So anyone wanna do a meet in Dundee earlyish ??

Pete

[jacqui_robb]

How do u mean "a good pitch"?

& how early is early-ish?!!! Staying down that way night before so we dont have to get up at crack of dawn! My brothers taking his car on a trailer (non-scooby), so we'll have to leave early anyway. + I want some quiet runs before it gets busy (track virgin).

[gardner]

craig

[zeolite]

I am off to an Autocross west of Perth on Sunday. Much more fun IMHO.

I would love to get a scoob to compete but they are still too pricey.

[teknopete]

Looks like i wont make it this Sunday peebs

If things change I`ll c u all there (jus look 4 big red)
