Vaculik then has a suspected broken leg and then surprise surprise meeting off because the track is unsafe. Track was unsafe before Heat 1 and that is the end of the story so why don't you crawl back into your hole. No need for any of that. If both teams agreed to give it a go, it’s just an unfortunate racing accident. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to make your ridiculous comment about suing is just that, ridiculous. We all know you sit at home when meetings are on so I can’t take anything you say seriously. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, both teams did. Unfortunately the misty rain made it too greasy on top, I can only assume they thought a few races may turn the track over. I hope the Vac isn’t as bad a feared as that’s rotten luck if so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not unfortunately Morris fell off on his own because the track is unsafe. Simple as that. Swindon promotion should know better and should have postponed the meeting earlier today. They have let riders go out on a track that is not fit for racing. Simple as that. Look at all of the other clubs this year calling meeting's off if they think the track isn't fit for racing.

How can the promotors 2nd guess the weather. I see many moan when meetings are called off in advance & then the race day is ok, can’t have it both ways Edited April 12, 2018 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have agreed with me about the meeting (Should never have started). Therefore the Swindon promotion like every other promotion should have called this meeting off earlier. Now look at what's happened wasn't even a racing incident just Morris struggling to ride an unfit race track. I cant take anything you say seriously either if you are trying to tell me how I watch Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I hadn’t been told it was spongy I would have been non the wiser. When the tractors graded the track took a shine, showing how much moisture was in the track. I would believe Swindons was probably similar to Pooles last night but with added late drizzle. A very unfortunate injury. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure Kyle Newman thought the same last year when the Poole meeting should’ve been postponed. Trying to start an argument yet again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll see you at Swindon on 7th May, I would have suggested meeting next Wednesday at Poole but unfortunately I’m working away in Germany. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track was clearly unfit for racing. Swindon promotion knew full well what was going to happen. 7.24 No parade due to conditions. 7.29 Mist coming in. Heat 1 Vaculik gets injured and then Meeting abandoned due to an unfit race track. Should never have started and all of this could have been avoided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted April 12, 2018 Both teams agreed to give it a try. If the riders wanted to give it a go who’s in the better position to judge, the guys putting their neck on the line of some bloke on the internet who’s probably never swung his leg over a bike? 12 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
