not as grippy as pod was spinning 3rd to the limiter on some runs the place isn't as good as pod but you do get to watch the cars run when ur in the fire up lane which is good

best 60ft was a 2.23 but I think this is down to my clutch really as it's on or off! It's that bad I can't even reverse it lol!!

My mates escos did a 1.81 60ft but at pod it does 1.7s

How many of you broke Pbs?

I broke her scoobys on 1st run and did everytime after that whilst at shakespeare. Infact all of our lot did last year. The start line isnt on par with pod id agree but the lack of uphill makes a big difference
