Crail Raceway - 1/8th mile EFWD No Prep
What can i say.....
Set off Saturday in glorious sunshine arrived at the first stop Blackpool for a bit of Chubby Brown laughter before setting off for Scotland . Came out of the theatre to total darkness and pouring rain!! Wonderful in the camper and started the 2nd leg of the journey after a little while we stopped for a couple hrs sleep in the services and onwards we went arriving at Crail Raceway at 8am to be greeted by light rain and the famous North Sea blustery winds.
So lots of catching up with many racers before racing started at 10am.
Very different up here..
Firstly they have a practice track to try and help dial your car into the very slippy and tricky surface.. A great addition we thought!! Then you get on the actual track to soon realise the practice area is way grippier in comparison.
3 qualifiers saw me struggling with grip but i wasn't alone we improved marginally every run!
So 1st round of eliminations as always brings out the real racer and luckily i managed a win but trust me if the track was 10ft longer he would of come around me in his turbo car but we finished door to door but i was ahead..
Semi finals came around but my normally aspirated R32 had nothing for the power of the turbo powered Corsa so it was time to load up for me. Chuffed to have reached the semi finals in the inaugural round of the championship and bag some important points..
Paul Conway took the well deserved win in Bastra his quick little racecar!! Great job.
So in short was it worth the 408 mile journey?? Hell yeah we will be back..
Now looking forward to Round 2 which is a little closer for us English racers only got to travel to Melbourne Raceway in York..
HOONiBuG will be back in the game by then so hopefully we can improve from the semi's?
So thanks Scotland its been a pleasure now for the short trip home...
Are we there yet??😂😜😂
