89buttons 749 Posted February 21, 2020 Chris’s commitment to improving the track has to be commended, every off season he’s looking to improve the shape for the benefit of the racing and fans 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 21, 2020 Not sure anything that's been done so far has greatly improved anything,, but better banking should see a noticeable improvement. Smaller tracks with good banking can be awsome,,, as scunthorpe and Redcar show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,687 Posted February 21, 2020 I think the widening has improved things a bit, I’ve not been for quite a few years but looking at some of the heats which pop up on the BSPA site from the Foxhole many of those passes wouldn’t have happened on the old narrow track. It can’t / won’t happen but it could probably do with being widened outwards rather than inwards. Hopefully the extra banking will help, can’t do any harm.

How does the banking work with the stock car track around it , does it form a ridge that gets flattened by the cars or leave the area as a kind of hump were the two tracks meet.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) There is basically a raised sausage curb around the corners,,, so add banking they need to take the inner curb downward Edited February 21, 2020 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,238 Posted February 21, 2020 I was there a week ago, can't say I noticed any change to the banking. Minor if any I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Crump was at Saddlebow he always had the track set up for him, the other 6 didn’t have any say. Like it or lump. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 24, 2020 So what colours do we think race suits will be? I thought last years was good,,, bikes as well. I did hear and see a fair few saying they couldn't tell who is who under the not so bright lights. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
