You said it wasnt pish? But yet you admit that the surface is crap, since a drag strip is based on a launch and then 1/4 mile run, the fact that the actual surface you drive on is pish is a major factor.
The fact it is the only one in Scotland has absolutely no relevance to its quality as a drag strip. And no, as you have repeated I wont be driving to pod.
Iv been to crail probably ten times in my 5 years of driving, did a 14.9 in my B16A2 Jordan and then 14.3 when it had B18C, I dont mean the timing gear stopping working but it gives out bizarre times and sometimes switches the lanes haha, its fun to go up and race people, doesnt mean the actual equipment isnt crap yo.
