Scc 2008

[Rocket-Racing]

I have spent a week just letting the impressions from SCC sink in..

What can I say that hasn't allready been said? I have never ever had a weekend like this in my whole life, and I never imagined what started out as a small gathering of norwegian cal-look fans could turn into this.

Knowing most of them personally I have an idea of how much time the SCC crew has put into making this event become real. THANK YOU!!

I would also like to thank all the europeans that travelled far to join us, it's much appreciated.
It felt kind of unreal seeing one magazine cover car after the other roll by our club tent on friday afternoon.
I could go on and on, but if I am to mention one in particular it would have to be Lee in his wonderful Manx. That crazy guy travelled 1200 miles each way in a buggy to come visit us in the woods.. Respect! You certainly deserved the "crazy" award..

There are a thousand more things to say and people to thank, but I'll stop here and just say that if you missed out this year you better be at SCC 2009, it's going to be even bigger and better but will always keep the "SCC spirit"

Well all I can say is THANKYOU dude  I said I would do it and I did...... I don't know if I am crarzy or just plain stupid as I did spend over £700 on fuel alone 

As you say.... what can be said that hasn't been said already - But I personally have to thank Richie Webb for putting up with me and my noise for over 2000 miles - THANKYOU DUDE 

This was probably the best week of my life - it was a truely AMAZING experience - THANKYOU EVERYONE

I have to say, together with the best vw weekend in my life, all this positive feedback has made this last week unforgettable!! The hard work is forgotten, and the planning for next years event has already started!!

The race results are now published at sccevent.com, and have you ever seen such a result list?!!!! Just look at those times!!!

A short report from the finnish drag race finals:
After the SCC event I spent an evening in the garage to check that everything was ok. The only issue I found was a worn shifter bushing. Fixed that, and took the '55 to the finals to upgrade my licence, and make a couple of WOT passes. The weekend was very good; new record for the '55 is 11.53sec / 186 km/h, with a back-up of 11.55, running in full street trim (897kg), dot-tires, mufflers and belt on.

A million thanks to the SCC crew for putting up the absolutely best VW drag race event in Europe ever!!! We will definately come again next year.

I had some fuel delivery issues friday evening with my '55 street car, but got them solved saturday morning. Ran a couple of test passes spinning the tires thru 1st gear (11.9-12.0sec / 184-186 km/h with 1.9sec 60ft times). I was happy with the speed (NA, pump gas, almost 900kg with driver, mufflers and belt on, tall gears, shift at 6500rpm), but the 60ft times were unbelivably bad. Jukka did some adjustments to the rear shocks and tire pressure, and bam, a 1.68 followed by a 1.54sec 60ft time. On these runs I missed a shift, so the et's were only low 12s. As the engine and transmission were brand new, I decided not to get greedy, and as a next step spend an evening in the garage to check everything before taking the car to another race.

Thanks again for a great event!
