The only track with less I can think of is Plymouth, and it certainly feels dangerous for the crowd if a bike flipped over the fence. Would cause injuries imo, no doubt. Honestly No wonder you get the abuse you do... You don't read what has been posted and you just head off in your own direction... Once had a Staffy like you... thick as mince in a bottle... harmless but stupid... Regards THJ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a one metre perimeter fence around the safety fence at Peterborough, where in theory you could stand... if you had a death wish, If a bike don't get you the shale spray will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC we had Hynek Stichauer and his bike both go over the fence at Plymouth in 2011 at the exit of bend 4 Neither he nor the bike made contact with anyone and amazingly Sticky walked back to the pits. His bike had to be carried back - it was very bent Edited June 29, 2022 by ancient mariner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
