bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted March 27, 2014 Take a match box, one side cardboard SLICK, the other side a slither of sand paper GRIP. Now build up the sandpaper side with loose dand and try striking the match, you cannot get any grip to strike the match because it's like loose shale. Road repair lay bitumen down only, VERY SLICK, put down a load of loose chippings down, put your brakes on,through the hedge no grip just loose gravel. Now put a thin layer of gravel on top of bitumen and roll it in, this gives you GRIP. It's what they lay down on roundabouts nowadays. There seems to be a lot of fans believe grip has something to do with loads of shale, it really does not, all that is is a lot of loose shale, like we tend have at Shielfield around the fence. Now prepare a slick even track, then lay course shale on top and pack it in. Back to the match box, slick with grip on the surface. Think you need to get some tribology lessons, Taffy.

Robinh88 571 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) What a farce.... Too many riders missing meetings and the season hasn't even started Sure it will be worth it when we wiin the World Cup with Woffinden along with the likes of Morris Blackbird and Reade Edited March 27, 2014 by RobinH88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many riders missing meetings and the season hasn't even started Sure it will be worth it when we wiin the World Cup with Woffinden along with the likes of Morris Blackbird and Reade In Lawsons case its quite understandable, there is no way Lakeside would've agreed to release him from their Elite League fixture with Swindon so he can race for Redcar in what's not much more than official practice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robinh88 571 Posted March 27, 2014 I feel for the riders it's extra income in a meeting Richard would have scored well in and he probably would have knocked a few points in the EL too Redcar I would say are weakened, Lawson always scores well against us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedcarRacer 228 Posted March 27, 2014 Weakens us considerably - do well to avoid defeat now but fingers crossed not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
