Cranks is just a phrase I use Geo for guys not using their heed .( theres no malice in my statement ) Location has a lot to do with sprint racing, I agree , but if everyone round about you is getting blown out the water then you are definitely doing something right. The Macs have blown the opposition out the water in the Lanarkshire fed, consistently for decades. By the way, these guys are pros at this game, there lies the secret to their success, dedication and hard work and obviously the right tools for the job. You could bring the likes of Tommy Blair and John McNeil into the equation as well, dedicated, professional, allround fanciers with records that are unbelievable and second to none.
