1/4 mile meets, are they dead?

[T5frankie]

as above, nobody seems to be making these meets now shakespeare is no more, nobody interested in santa pod?

Problem with santa pod is it gets stupid busy and you have to queue for hours (where you can't see the action) just to maybe get 2 runs on a day. At least with shakey you could still watch the racing whilst queueing.

Welcome back Frankie, I might be up for a pod meet later in the year, just a bit busy at present.

Straightliners run events at many tracks including East Kirkby this weekend, cars are running Saturday.

Looks interesting, but unfortunately too shorter notice for what I need to get done before olive can rip up the track once more, but I will be keeping an eye out for future meets.

We only used to go to watch you break your car, or Frankie bend a rod. ��

Yeah and at the slightest whiff of a light shower, they close the track for two hours!

Yes it is odd how the land owners suddenly decided to stop racing and build houses when you left.....was it the finders fee you got, that allowed you to go and retire in Aus :shhh::shhh::shhh::lol::lol::lol:

If the Staightliners manage to raise all the cash they need, we could all be racing there again, soon by the looks of it.
