Anyone growing Scarchuk's?

Is anyone growing C. pepo 'Scarchuk's Supreme'? I don't have any fruit set yet, but the vine is growing like Barry Bonds. It looks like a plastic house plant. Every single leaf is a perfect dark glossy green with no hint of disease. That's much than can be said about the rest of the squash patch which, after a few weeks in the mid-90s, is looking a little worse-for-wear.

I got my seed from Sandhill which says that it was bred to have some measure of vine borer resistance.

I just harvested mine. Nice production of rounded delicata colored fruits about softball size or just a bit larger. Have you tried Gill's Golden Pippin?

I've tried Table Gold the last few years, but SVB have limited my harvest to a grand total of 2. I'll have to look at Gill's next year.
