The strip is 1/4 mile long,so if you do 10 runs that will be 4 miles

Hope this helps

1/4 (0.25) *10 = 2.5

Assuming you drive along thr return road, I'll say it's approx 1/4 mile back. hence 5 miles = 10 runs.

Then you need to add up that you probably do 1/10th of a mile in a burnout on each run - so that's another 1 mile.

Then you need to add up going into stratford village when you run out of money, especially if the car-boot sale is on next door on the sunday - so that's about 9 miles return at a guess.

etc, etc, etc...

What about braking distance

Shell is only a couple of miles down the road so regular fillups are no probs.

Indeed, but braking is usually on the over-run, so not muche fuel used... As commented though - the petrol station in the village sells Optimax! Very usefull.
