Don't know about down there, but it's rained A LOT today up here and it's practically flooded... With little bits of rain forecast every day between now and the weekend also, could this be off? Any insider information on how the track took the rain today?

Expecting a Scunthorpe win also, even if we have two former Scunthorpe number 1s in the team... Scunthorpe look better at reserve, hopefully Simon can take to EWR good? I assume he likes it, with it being a big track... Matty has been solid all year so far, hope that continues... And Lasse, can he go a meeting without breaking down? :P On a serious note, how's his injury? Is he ok to ride this one?

scorpians in for big win,especially if wet

 

It's always wet. Even if it's the middle of a heatwave the tracks always flooded to saturation point.

It's how you get moisture into a track &, hopefully, remain there to keep tractor breaks to a minimum.

Not to the extent where they have to pump water out of the puddles on a hot August evening. The first 5 heats are like racing in a paddy field. That's why it's not as good as it can be. I've yet to see a tractor during a meeting. Nothing wrong with one or two tractor breaks to drag the dirt back. if timed correctly it needn't impact on the meeting at all (i.e. during the interval, or when a rider has two races in a row).

The EWR is nothing compared to (B)Rough Park which does look like a paddy field.

Last year, we used to have the wonder wheel go round to remove the "burm" of raised shale but our present crop of riders have not asked for a grading break. It is not mandatory!

Mmmm interesting comments on ( B ) rough park you say.. well you could ask all apart from 1 or 2 visiting riders who have been there so far this season & you'll get a pleasant surprise on how many have enjoyed racing on it & don't forget that we only have 1 day access to get the track RACE ready so hats off to top track man Johnny swales..
