dont race at the pod mate - i dont rate the track or the times. Everytime ive been there its been a really disapointing day and weve vowed never to go again. I do York are shakespeare county raceway - i think thats closer to you isnt it ??
Lowestoft - Santa Pod = 123 miles, 3 and a half hours
Lowestoft - York Dragway = 199 miles, 5 hours
Those times are each way as well, and as I tend to stick to speed limits pretty well nowadays, you could only knock half an hour off those times at most.
Neither are close - but York is a weekend away for me, Santa Pods a day out. I did used to avoid the Pod, but tbh if youve got a properly fast car, and both of us have, going anywhere else is a bit of a cop-out.
You just have to pick your day carefully...its when youre desperate to set a time and you go even if its raining or too hot, thats when Pod is crap cos its too busy or they dont even open the track.I honestly think youll see the best from your Clio at Santa Pod, no chance of wheelspin all the way up. Its not because its closer or I want you to come off your home turf
...Im pretty sure yours will take the title of fastest Clio from the sounds of it, so if youre going to do a proper run, do it on a good surface. Mine will wheelspin through the gears on a normal road if you clog it, but at the Pod it digs in and holds. You gotta ask yourself whats the point of running on broken concrete at York in the damp or rain and coming away disappointed with a 15 or something? All the excuses in the world wont make you feel better about it, deep down. It was raining, it was muddy, blah blah...dont kid yourself, you were gutted to come away with a 15 or a high 13 at 109 or whatever it was. I would have been. Hence I only run when everything is right, no point putting in a wet time.Were driving 13 - and hopefully 12 - second cars here, not valvers struggling to make up 0.1 second to get into the 15s - get serious Matt!

yeh nick defo - although with the massive wheel spin im gettin i dont think it will be to great. What about shakespeare county race way ? is that not closer to you, its in stratford upon avon.

You a Blackburn local then?
Hes run at York in the wet and as expected it was just spinning the wheels so no mental times...

LOL Stratford upon Avon is the totally opposite side of the country from me. Lowestoft where I live is the most easterly town in Britain, the most remote part of East Anglia and its as far from London in a north-easterly direction as Birmingham is in a north-westerly one...Im probably closer to some parts of Norway.
What size wheels are you running btw? I always struggled to put down the power on 17s, but on 15s that solved 90% of the problem. Starts arent as good as Id like still, but a lot better than they were on 17s.
