supra dan Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 from the dundeecruise site : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well looks like we are going to lose another decent place for our 1/4 mile days, got an email through from willie robertson today to let me know that edzell will be shut until further notice.hope they get it sorted out, so we dont have to make the trip to crail everytime we want to race. from the http://www.crailraceway.co.uk site Due to unforeseen circumstances Edzell Race @ the Base has been postponed until further notice. The owners have asked us to postpone events until further notice -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from an email straight from willie robertson(owner of crail) Events at Edzell on hold until legals get sorted.If we go ahead with them the money made would be going straight to Lawyers dealing with the situation .We have to get the council sorted before we proceed.We run at Crail under 28 day rule its up to Carnegies to abide to this or we cant run our events at Edzell.Please inform your friends and web sites you are with.

bedlam Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Ah well looks like a max power day for us then unless wullie puts crail on that weekend which i doubt. Andy Hmm maybe not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Superb, thats us back to a 2.5 hour drive to somewhere thats not worth going to if theres a splash of rain and has the worst surface in the UK. Brilliant eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlam Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Michael Not very often it rains at crail strange place indeed..i think in the last year and a 1/2 it has rained 3 times and i went a lot ...the surface yes not the best ..but just think what your car would do if it ran on something good .

MichaelG Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Its not just that mate, theres also the fact that the strip is on the biggest slope i have seen on a UK strip lol, up and then down, and the timing equipment is cr*p. Edzell surface is ten times better, and they were actually getting somewhere with the event there until Carnegies forgot they had to have the runway clear incase of emergency landings, and got flamed for it. There are also local residents as usual complaining of the noise, but the noise they re hering are from the Superbikes etc which use the circuit, not from thr 1/4 mile days that they appear to tar the same brush with. So the council have knocked it on the head on both counts. fookers lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlam Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Michael The track aint that good at crail, as you say that runback road i something else ..but the timing gear is the same used at both places and Wullie dont even own the timing gear...as the mate who runs SJC up here is having a private day tomorrow and they couldnt have the bleedin timing gear there.just a run off against each other...and still costing 35 per driver..feck that..
