Maybe the track guy's who the bspa have appointed can advise len to get rid of the negative chambers and that would improve the racing given more lines.

I know there are other factors, employment being the main one, but I do think the north south divide is a bit of a myth, you only have to look around some of our southern coastal towns to see some deprivation. Poole fans will have you walking the plank as interval entertainment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabba59 156 Posted February 11, 2020 Well we all have to move forward with the way things are done even more so with track preparation . The bikes will not go back to what there was so we have to change tracks, whether len likes it or not? That goes with a lot of tracks not just kent 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That goes with a lot of tracks not just kent When I have watched Poole on TV ( many many times) the track has looked to be in very poor condition with lots of bumps making things tricky for the riders. I've never seen anything like that at Kent. Close racing is the norm and that must reflect the track conditions IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabba59 156 Posted February 11, 2020 But how many meetings went to curfew when there was no need for it? Other than the track ,maybe the standard of riders did not help, and that as been said by riders. And yes 100% Pooles track does need sorting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipper11 134 Posted February 11, 2020 I don’t see championship riders having any problems with the track, the better standard riders seem to find different lines around C Park without problems. In fact in a recent Q & A on the inter web Ellis Perks said Kent was his favorite track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabba59 156 Posted February 11, 2020 I hear what you're saying but I believe we still need to move forward with track preparation. The same as Poland did a few years ago. And I've been and lived in Poland and remember some of the tracks being very badly prepared and bumpy, so if they can do it , it can be done over here.

So Poole must have one of the older track guys from Poland to prepare the track with bumps in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabba59 156 Posted February 12, 2020 All I'm trying to ask is what fans think? Think something needs to be done and I'm sure all fans want better racing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask Ellis perks what his favourite track is and he’ll say anything that’s super slick hence why he’s so good round Scunthorpe.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why will consistent track prep necessarily mean better racing? Why are there far more serious injuries in the 'better-prepared' Polish tracks than in British speedway? Despite all the pontification about Poole's track (and yes I do agree there needs a little more work on bends 1-2), the Poole racetrack has one of the best safety records in both senior leagues!!!

Crabba59 156 Posted February 12, 2020 The tracks that are better prepared do produce better racing ie, bell vue redcar, scunthorpe ect. Poole did use to be good racing so don't you think going back to that would be better, then it was better prepared 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
