Er, it took the boys all morning to sort the track out from yesterdays heavy rain it P'--d down all day, and sorry we are limited to what access we can have Dogs on a sunday. Still mid morning.. Please dont be picky.. You said on Saturday that the boys were starting at 7am today- ie 5hrs 30mins before the start- so are you telling me that for a normal evening meeting they start at 2pm ? As i said they should have started earlier. Edited August 27, 2018 by racers and royals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poole keith 904 Posted August 27, 2018 speedway never as good daytime,not a rider but think track was pretty dire,doyle hit the hole on the first bend when going to win ht 15 by half the track took an almighty whack as the bike lifted,harris hit a big hole between 3 \4 when on a poole 5-1,worral said couldnt ride the track,notice after racing they were shoveling grit into the hole doyle hit and trying to pack it in.have to say gary may (who every wk for 10 yrs or more stood with his wife who is brilliant with poole sponsers just in front of us)is constantly working the changes and i would put him the best team manager in the prem league,big fan of adams at wolves but hes lost that cutting edge 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You try preparing a track for a mid morning meeting after a days heavy rain... try and understand it was not a mid morning meeting,not thats it anything to do with you but why after a previous days heavy rain would it have been so dusty and why so many holes? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SomersetBlue 212 Posted August 27, 2018 I'm happy with a point tbh with a patched up side. Poole also going to be weaker now with Woryna going into the main body so no more 6/7 rides from him. P. S just to put something out there in my opinion. If a rider gets excluded from a race I really don't think teams (including Somerset) should be allowed to replace them.

You're the first one to jump on someone if they make an error! The "bleedin" difference is that 1230pm isn't in the morning. End of. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acef 795 Posted August 27, 2018 Mid morning is actually 6am. There is a clear and vast difference between that and the actual start time. About 6 hours. Just watched heat 15. An absolute disgrace of a track. Its like a f%%%%g roller coaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Matt a ring. why do i need to ring him i thought his door was always open!,.of course im not a trackman, as of course neither are you,riders arent "trackmen" but they also have a view on track conditions.Glad that you ask if i could do better it means that you do at least accept that "better"is reqd(.ps i do know the sound business logic in not spending any money at present but thats not for the magazine seller to know) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
