The outside will work later in the meeting, more important to keep the inside grippy. Shanes passes mostly on the inside & Castagne refuses to venture far from it!

Shanes passes mostly on the inside & Castagne refuses to venture far from it! If it's to grippy on the inside then Paco will struggle and a few others to. Like I've said Harris and riss will want grip on the outside from the off. That's fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted April 6, 2021 I would expect Harris & Riss to be able to ride the track no matter what the conditions, I'd worry about Shanes & Castagne more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I'm saying is what will be needed for the whole team to perform better as a team, and give the fans what they want and that's exciting racing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSL84 541 Posted April 19, 2021 See Birmingham have had there water wagon set on fire in early hours that's after 3 break ins not good so close to the season. Scum bags hope they can catch them but don't think so. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heathen52 384 Posted April 20, 2021 It makes one wonder what security is in place for the whole site not just the Speedway, gone are the days where alarms are sufficient, these people that do these things are aware its rare to see the boys in blue so they have more or less a free hand to do as they wish without with little or no chance of being caught. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted April 20, 2021 Whilst majorly unhelpful to the overall cause i guess the stadium break in didn't directly affect the Speedway side until the last spate of petty vandalism/arson that destroyed much needed equipment. The difficultly in replacing specialist items must be the harder task rather than the financing of items (theres barely a bowser in the country worth more than a couple of grand) despite the inevitable hint f needing to raise funds. I know all clubs are in a precarious position at the start of the season but comments like this do nothing but cast doubt over the viability of the project Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know all clubs are in a precarious position at the start of the season but comments like this do nothing but cast doubt over the viability of the project Think you will find nearly all the break ins have been on the speedway side and from what I've heard it was the water wagon which was not only used for watering it was used for packing the track so a very useful tool. And if the tractors have been burned then it will cost a good amount of money. As you don't get half good tractors for a few grand these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't read the press release as all affecting the speedway side but that doesn't mean its not the case. The water bowser that Brum had was certainly a useful tool and well suited in size for the multiple tasks it performed. It will be both tricky to replace and also scary as if these oiks continue operate outside the law thee is the fear than any replacements could be destroyed too. There are plenty of solutions to the issue i can think of but hardly any of the legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
