Hopefully this new stuff will bind a lot better. In an ideal world this needs doing mid season and in October. It should ride an awful lot better. John was also responsable for the track in the 0-4 World cup at poole. It was a shame he retired in 0-12.. Well there's plenty of thunderstorms kicking around on Monday so....

Sunliner 3 Posted June 24, 2019 I know nothing about track preparation just a load of shale on the floor stuck together somehow and blokes race around on bikes like they do at the millenium stadium for the Grand Prix and if i am not mistaken that seems ok i may be wrong but as that is a temporary track just loads of trucks turn up dump their load and it is stuck together why can't Poole do the same,what is so difficult if you can turn a rugby ground into a racing track what is stopping Wimborne Road from having the same, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardiffs track is laid on a hard flat surface. The Wimborne road track has an uneven base so it doesn’t matter how much shale is pit on, it doesn’t solve this issue. We’ll soon see if the track problems have been sold on Thursday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 10 years ago when the Poole track was good , wasnt the base uneven then? Or has the base become uneven over the years. Fact remains the track is poor bordering on dangerous and hopefully this week it will be sorted Poole thumped Belle Vue earlier in the season and i would expect and 18 point win in this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
