I would say that the surface at santa-pod is better.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

5ft is a fair incline.


That would be like taking Jims Missus (lovely as she is) standing her at the finish line and then propping that end of the track on her head *hehe!*

'Believed' is the operative word

I ran slower at Pod by 0.27 seconds. That could be down to the driver behind the wheel as it was still early at the Pod. However, the 60ft times were roghly the same, terminal speeds were down by 3 or 4 mph. that could be atributed to the head wind too.

1.5m is an awful lot considering this track was suposed to have been lazer leveled, unless the bloke that set the lazer up was on the piss the night before.

In my models I'm using aerial survey data that's accurate to few millimeters.

I'll get them to fly over shall I?

You mean like this:



Actually my basic mapping software shows the pod strip as being 104m above sea level at both ends.

I've always gone quicker at Avon than Pod, and quicker still at York.

I though they were only good up to 70m then the curvature of the earth starts to come into play.
