Sounds like most of the other tracks in speedway then. Edited August 25, 2019 by StevePark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said in an earlier post Lynn has a unique, clay rich surface which makes overtaking very difficult and requires a particular bike set up as the starts are very grippy too. Since he joined Lynn a couple of years ago TJ has been good at home, the surface suits him and he is able to make good starts. The shale used is for the benefit of stock cars which now seems to be the primary sport at the stadium, speedway doesn’t bring in anywhere near as many people or as much revenue so has to play second fiddle. It could be a great racetrack again but only if the type of shale is changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes predictive text is such a pitther. Past tense of race is raced-, too old now, but just content to ride my 1200cc superbike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
