stevebrum 6,820 Posted July 5, 2019 2 hours ago, tellboy said: So again you can see it from your vantage point.Unlike the riders who walk right over the top of it.Steve i know you are so biased but blimey even you can see that hole in the track from the pictures.As the saying goes "there are none so blind as those who will not see".You and Starman fall under that saying where Poole is concerned. It’s pretty clear that the work done to the track is no different to what has been done previously in the past. Quick rush job to paper over the cracks - quite literally. How anyone can defend this is plain crazy. Until this track has had major work to it in the winter it will always be dangerous and a risk for riders. Whether the racing has improved is irrelevant to the safety of the circuit. I wasn’t there last night which is obvious but when Josh says it was a racing incident with no intent then intend to believe his word. He is the one involved. Some supporters only see what they want to see tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if the base was suitably bound together no holes as such would appear! Why would a rider go out of their way to create a hole on a track they’re due to race on!!??? It’s clearly soft as s**t 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point being if that’s true then they have easily found a hole that is STILL there, undeniable proof! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a suggestion, I didn't say that is what I thought, I wouldn't call it a hole more like a rut . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holes don’t suddenly appear when a foot presses into them!! Poole is a superb race track, or used to be. The state of the base is a huge issue until rectified.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 5, 2019 The track has been rectified. Smooth and new shale. Rides beautifully. All done with huge laser grader a couple of weeks ago. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When big ruts appear with a press of the foot it has not been rectified. I just hope the racing and safety is nothing like it was when the cameras were last there. Poole used to be one of my favourite tracks to watch racing on when it used to be great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are a total imbecile if you think that a rider has gone up to the track and put his foot down and made a nice dirty hole for him and his fellow professionals to race on and put them all in danger Also how awful is the track if (as you say) a foot caused it............means the track is soft Poole should be fined for the way their track is ........ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
