Was at Crail on Sunday to do some 1/4 mile times, it wasnt the best of weather up there but air was cold. Couldnt manage anythin quicker that a 15.3!
Really annoyed with that! Was doing 15.062 in my remaped 130 gttdi golf with rubbish tyres and 15's!

any one else got times?

List your mods to please!

I've struggled at crail too with my LCR. However I reckon a run in the 14s is do-able as I was crossing the line @ 96mph - I just need a bit more practice.

Imo there's two major problems with running an LCR at crail:

1) The wheel hop in a standard LCR is terrible, I reckon several tenths could be gained by rectifying this. Possibly a dog-bone mount would help?
2) The surface at crail is absolute shite, especially the start. The LCR needs all the grip it can get in 1st and 2nd - loose stones and a shitty surface do not help at all.

Dog bone mount, lowered, good tyres and a good driver is all you need!
