Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 27, 2019 The track was excellent tonight. Smooth and a lot of dirt. Will take a few weeks to bed in properly and form racing lines. But no bumps and no dust until the last two races. Doubt there would have been any dust had the meeting completed on schedule. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scuse me ? Personal abuse and name calling The words "black boys in london" that i was going to use would have been reported by someone so chose to use something a little more jovial. Happy now ? I'm 42 not 80 thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ps I know it was said in jest, but if she is prepared to call others out then it’s only fair to point out the hypocrisy tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a night when Poole are getting some positive feedback re the track, shame that some of the usual Poole followers seem to have only one mode of reply. Hope the overnight updates of the injuries are positive aswell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all like a joke at Poole's expense but the awful and dangerous track could have been fatal for Poole if the crowds continued to dip. No one wants to see any club struggling as there aren't many of us left. Hopefully it will remain good now which means I will be down in August! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was going to dish out some personal abuse it would be a bit stronger than that. But I'll turn it down for you sensitive souls out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviator 213 Posted June 28, 2019 It was great to see that the work carried out on the track over the last week or so seems to have had a positive effect. It was also encouraging to see proper track equipment (bowser and bar grader) in use and that the “blade” was left in the yard. Hopefully the latter will be consigned to the local scrap yard before it is allowed to drift back into use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
