scoffs off to sort out a few red bulls next weekend
note the timming board at the end scoff would have had the f1 car
traction bars are always in place but traction control failed on the day so launching was a bit harder the old fashioned way.
make no wonder if u look and listen closely you have this man on your pit team and the start line...

King of Europe, S**t on em
A massive well done scoff! You have put alot of time and effort into the car and im well pleased for ya! you certainly deserve it.
IMPRESSIVE!!! Well done sir. Ive been in a couple of 20vt golf mk2s and been very impressed with them, in terms of power and reliability i dont think you can beat them. About time someone showed what renault owners are capable of!! Awesome engine and will show what renault engines can do!!
God damn man, I was thinkin your car could just dip into the 10s but to get a 10.6 is a big thing dude, awesome work bud, remind me at pod day to get you a beer
Whats the next stage then? get your launch control working properly and give it another blast?

All the time and effort you've put into your car you deserve to be in the 10s well done fella
Just read this ....congrats scoff it must go like **** off a shovel
awesome news, is there a good chacne we will see these kinda of times at frog of the pod!!
p.s ive got some good vids of scoffs runs, from very close up ( i was stood behind the car on the track ) but there in some silly .mod format that youtube doesnt want to take, anyone know how to change them? (its from a jvc everio camcorder) i found a converter online, but it puts a silly watermark over the vids
I'll hold you to that beer you know
without wishing to sound overly optimistic (and those that know me properly will know that I am the least optimistic person you're ever likely to meet!!) but 10.6 for the car's terminal speeds is pretty piss poor. I was a bit annoyed at myself - I hadn't driven the strip for 8 months and it was like I'd forgotten how. The runs are very poor technically as any real racer who watches the video's will be quick to spot. First time out, new engine and a new race series to get my head around so decided to cut myself a little slack!
well done scoff, where did you find the extra power/speed from?
As you said you havnt been out for a while so everyone gets rusty, specaily jumping right into a race series.. To me the car still can improve that ET as said before in PM, still doesnt look like its in peak power much at all up to 1/8, your 3rd gear is fooking insane tho..... your a dead man walking keep test mapping that on the road whats that 4th gear pull you say....
well done scoff, that cars a beast
Really well done scoff! Cant believe the 10.7 run as the car sounded as if it bogged going into second gear! Cant wait to see the future progrssions of this car
Wow! Awesome car!
Well done that's ace
Well done Chris ,job well done
Congratulations !You took the 5 shell into another dimension as far as performance in a dragstrip is concerned.Wish all the best and seems that we'll never find out if a C1J could be that fast.Keep up the good work.
well done chris couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke
well done that man!!!
Just watched the vid's - Holy mother of Jesus, that fecking RIPS!
Chris, you're messing up my head something rotten with your F-series tuning, as I'm swaying even more towards outing the Jap taxi, buying a 172/182, cheeky turbo conversion, and having fun on track in that instead. God damn you!
Blimey, well done Scoff
Mart, in the wider Clio shell you could shuv in any VW gearbox you like - one of the newer 6 speed units which are equally as robust and don't have the cruddy synchromesh setup that my older o2j transmission has. Would love to see you do something a bit off the wall like that
It's tempting mate, very.
Hmmm, PM for ya...
it would be interesting to compare some slips scoff (not ours, no comparision lol)
but we raced the TDI north car on 1 race, he ran 10.5 i think, so close to your ET, but with 138mph, he also pulled 1.6x 60ft as you do, but i did notice he was at 114mph 1/8th`s, you can compare the slip in full if you want it, might find some usefull data
I didn't go that quick in the 1/8th rob, about 105mph average I think but that should rocket if I can improve the 330'.
Holy freakin shamoly!!! I lost the net for one week and Scoff is tearing up the Santa Pod tarmac! Well done mate very well deserved.
It would seem from your comments that she's got a bit more in her yet........
Well done Scoff Fantastic time, well into the 10's
here you go sports fans

Bloody hell.
You can really see how much of an animal the car is on the launches...then it just rockets into the distance
Good work Rob
i like the 1st one, dont think he was expecting the torque steer, nearly has him in the other lane
those rear wheels offend me
