If Jack was at Poole he would be.... Nothing to do with the track. If Jack was at BV he'd want to be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,189 Posted December 23, 2017 I think it’s all down to the track especially with a whinger like Holder. There is no way he’d ride that every week. Not surprised KK and Hans aren’t returning along with others. This will be the issue with the poles dispite their high salaries, if they think the home circuit will jeopardise their Polish pay then expect them out of trouble at the back. Ford needs to splash out on the racetrack instead of a potentially high scoring reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,189 Posted December 23, 2017 The track has deteriorated over the last ten years to get to its current low state. Whinging tends to increase the older they get. These two factors plus the rumoured performance related pay instead of the usual big bucks pay out means it’s a no go for several old timers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for CH, I spoke to him the week after the Kings Lynn Poole meeting and he said although the Poole track is not smooth, it is consistent, you know it is safe and can turn a bike and race on it. Jack is only echoing what others have said about the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agrotron 955 Posted December 23, 2017 The track is a joke I was under the impression that it was going to be ripped up and sorted out as soon as the season was over looks like fk all is happening on that front after all the criticism its had and still no work done!

I thought there is supposed be some redevelopment around the track in the next few years and that the track might have to close for a year whilst that happens??!!
