Pod is where your time slip is judged , shakeys always faster with it's downhill dip . Not as downhill as 99% of the drag strips abroad though

[Mr Sam]

shakey gets tail wind too

[Guest MK1gaz]

My mates mini is half a second faster at shakey , he thought it was his new atb diff and gearing until he went back to the Pod and went the same as before !!!!!!!!

[Mr Sam]

im still .4 quicker at shakey.........yet to break into the 18's at pod

[w p e]

pods the real tester as its up hill

You guys make it sound like there is a mountain on the drag strip. Both were flat last tim I went there

 

OR maybe as I've never driven on either its more obvious in the cars?

I've not been to Shakey, but I understand that you don't have all the aggro of waiting for your runs, like you do at the Pod, which is ideal if your there to race.

[Mk2Jo]

I don't mind either ..... at Shakey I like the track prep and the queues have always been much shorter AND you can watch the racing while you queue.

 

At the Pod you get a certain atmosphere on the night races which hasn't been equalled yet at any stop-overs at Shakey

[Baz.]

Thing is you get a giant que at the pod, which we have never had at shakey.

i crew for a pro et car and we have always run our pb's at the pod. the pods track is much better prepped at a meeting and clean up crew is second to none. but shakey has free seating and the good thing is the pits makle it so you cant go more than about 5 mins walk from the track whereas the pod is a pain as pro et is now pitted past the finish line. shakey has by far the better atmosphere at night and we have had many a good night there, can;t remember half of them mind.

 

 

verdict: i have to say i prefer the pod for its proffesionalism and all round great atmsophere on race day.

[Mk2Jo]

Only trouble is that the Pod don't prep their track quite so well on a non professional race day

[Mr Sam]

pod can be awfull on a genral RWYB day for grip ive seen 4 wheels drive cars spinning all 4 whlees on some days

 

 

and never seem to have as much down time at shakey no oil on track etc....which seems to be regular occurance at pod,,,,,maybe the scruitineering at shakey

Best fit a parachute Kev , you'll break the sound barrier over there

i think the queues at the pod tell you something about whitch is better.
