semion 2,192 Posted May 12, 2017 Cheers Trees. Lets hope they continue keeping the fans informed after meetings, win lose or draw. Like you say interesting about the track. I would have thought an experienced track man like Buster should have had this sorted before the season started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnboy 254 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) It won't get sorted unless he takes off all the shale and put the correct speedway shale down which they use to use. The shale they use now is the best one for stock car racing and that is the stadiums bread and butter. It does concern me that the amount of bolts and nuts which are coming up 2 times this year people near me have been hit lucky it was on the shoulder and the other was on the chest, if a 17mm nut or bolt hits someone in the face I dread to think of the damage. Do anyone know if they still use the magnet on the front of the tractor to pick up these sort of things nowadays Edited May 12, 2017 by lynnboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 12, 2017 That's a serious health and safety concern. As opposed to 16 year old boys riding a 500cc motorbike with no brakes ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 12, 2017 As opposed to 16 year old boys riding a 500cc motorbike with no brakes ? They wear safety gear, spectators don't Seriously tho, heaven forbid should the worst happen would the "motorsports are dangerous" warning stop anyone suing for damages? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 12, 2017 I'll admit to being a tad concerned about the metalwork that the track throws up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
