[kyekye09]

And even without a map come along you can see what your car will do before and after your car is the same as Graeme's I think (S60 T5 SE?)

Some info from Scott at Crail, prices seem OK:

The gates open at 9:30am and the track starts at 10:00am, we run the track until 4:00pm.

There is a £10 entry fee per person and £15 per driver for the 1/4 mile.

Response from Crail about the weather....

We very rarely cancel event, only if we have snow or ice on the track really. If we do have to cancel we will publicize it on facebook and our website as soon as we can.

We don't use any type of track prep, we found track prep actually reduces grip in the wet, also we found out wears off too quickly.

Can't say fairer than that. Depends on what kind of coating you are using I guess but looks like game on

Thinking of bringing Gul to this, but when do you need to know by please?

Yeah, I never thought of the helmet side of things. Just wrap my head in mechanics' mats?

[jamesy12345]

That's it spare wheel is being left out this time too - I want to get into the high 14 secs. Last time at York I had 3 passengers with me who left loads of crap in the car. Hopefully this time I'll be on my jack

Thinking of bringing Gul to this, but when do you need to know by please?

As Graeme said, anytime Mark, would be great if you could make it! Hope you can bring the Gul but I bet that Alfa is nippy also

Good thought there! York will let you use one of theirs for a tenner deposit, I'll check whether Crail do the same...
