Having been there a few times over the last 3 years with my son racing Nl you just need to listen to the riders in the pits (home and away riders )moaning about the state of the track the worst bit is usually watering a slick bare track then it is like riding on marbles and the same holes ruts appears mid corners put a bit more shale on it and get rid of the negative camber on 3-4 and it would be ten times better racing

The amount of times I have been there and there’s not a bit of shale on the track and the bowser comes out you should have heard the riders moaning when standing at the top of the hill

And now with planing Consent approved for 80 houses on the Edinburgh monarchs track they might be a one season wonder in the nl https://planning.westlothian.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=OVSOU9RJGAW00

Maybe Should have the fours on the Friday at Somerset and the pairs at Leicester on the Sunday

There was a break in at northside over new year setting a lot of the equipment on fire

Max or Dillon Ruml would be worth a shout

It’s a great shape of track but with too Narrow straights which makes the corner entries Really tight but If they banked All the corners a bit more And got rid of the negative cambers which means you can race into the bends a lot faster Without fear and probably create a lot more racing lines

Leicester struggle with 14 riders and their vans god knows how they will accommodate 40

A rider once told me If you don’t fall off or make the odd mistake now and again when your a young rider your not trying hard enough

I remember watching Charles Wright when he was a reserve at Glasgow many years ago he was woeful and never got any better for a good few years He really struggled then he just clicked a few years ago and look at him now nobody would believe you 2 years ago if you said he would be British riders champion speedway is a sport that fxxks your head and once you get it into your head that you can beat anybody you will then go from strength to strength so I would never right anybody off these days

Will also get his Brit nl reduction

Think he has changed a his riding style this year There was no over riding and his racing had greatly improved having watched him in nearly every nl match this year him and Ellis perks were pretty unstoppable ther was no daft dive bombing wreck less passing he used his head more than the throttle think he deserves a spot

He is a 3 but will have to wait and see if he gets a call

Would hope they put a strong team together capable of winning all home matches we need the likes of if there flint perry Smith Phillips and 3 local 3 pointers

Lawson will be riding for the main team when devils riding at home
