If Nick says that is the reason then fair enough. But he hasn't and you are making an assumption. Seeing as you commented on his FB status, maybe you should have asked him if that was the actual reason..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really can’t fault a riders effort when the track was so bumpy. Yes agreed and he overtook Covatti , one of the few passes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry if you didn't see my side of funny,we must have a different sense of humour up here.It was more of a little dig at Morris really.I expected you to see that FB.My second sentence was merely stating what i saw last year when i was down.

Yes saw the joke but thought you inferred i had said it wasn't bumpy, Morris had issues until a good third ride to overtake Covatti. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can’t see the track for graders and heavy plant. The place is a hive of activity... There is even a fella that looks like MF on a giant mixer blending the new shale mix... :-) All overseen of course by a Starman lookalike who appears to be the Quality Controller and is referring to a document titled “Glen’s guide to laying the perfect speedway track 2017/18”.

Col 849 Posted June 19, 2019 I'm fairly sure Morris would have done very little in heat 14 had Covatti not given him a shove, that seemed to inspire him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not rocket science to see why Morris had little interest in racing that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Again why not ask him instead of assuming, as at the moment it is just your opinion. Only Nick or his mechanic can confirm if it's a fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghosty 496 Posted June 19, 2019 Good to see work has started on the track, my question would be: If a rider had suffered an injury in Mondays meeting, serious or otherwise as a direct result of the very poor track conditions - who would be to blame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
