I knew it was bad but watching on tv you just fast forward after bend three lap one. Being there in person and not having that option was mind numbing, just terrible. Monday can’t come quick enough. What do you really expect mate, we've had buckets of rain down here for weeks. Glyn did very well to get it turned over graded and packed to a racable state. He told me it was like a swamp in the morning when he came in. And you cannot put machinery on a sodden track otherwise you will do more damage than good, You will tear the track to shreads in the tyres. Glyn and Matt busted a gut to get that meeting on, way beyond the call of duty. Just think yourself lucky you saw some speedway, otherwise you would have had the hump after a 400 mile round trip..

Mate, any NEW track is far easier to maintain than an old one, you just have to keep on top of it. if you have a curator that knows his stuff it will not be a problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And nearly made a complete mess of that as well! You take your luck when you can, even Poole do, it's just the rub of the green, all sports are the same.

Steve, when we get some settled weather the track will be the best its been sinse 0-11. As ive said umpteen times, its nigh on imposible to prepare a track properly how you would like it if you have near permanant rain. Glyns work will reap rewards and the riders were very happy with things on P&P day so it can only get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you say no one can judge any track at the moment so when conditions improve everyone will see how the remedial work handles and if it improves the awful bumps. I hope it does as I used to rate the Poole track highly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
