Col 850 Posted August 11, 2021 Take a bow Ashley Morris, important point in heat 14, passed Lions reserve on last lap. Birmingham are going to be in trouble if Castagna is elevated from the reserve birth by average. Grobauer & Thomas very poor tonight Brummies off the hook - expected more from Andersen & Howarth. Kennedy did Ok, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having ventured down during the break into the Sahara, if it wasn't for Lions contingent on 1st Bend would be lower than last week. Fear for how many newcomers will come back. Poor spectacle from what you can see. The track was poor last week. It's worrying that it has not been sorted. It seems to be an ongoing problem at Perry Barr this season.

BrizHeathen 37 Posted August 11, 2021 Probably the worst track conditions I have seen in years. Visibility for riders and fans was terrible, riders were bouncing all over the place, and I just missed out on being hit by a rock the size of a golf ball...take away the large Leicester support and the crowd would have been feeble. The future doesn't look bright. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone 943 Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Quote on Live Updates proceeding ht13 :- "Water bowers is driving round but its not on" What happened to the monies raised by the Go Fund Me appeal which I thought was intended to repair/replace damaged track equipment? Perhaps either Rogers or Mason can explain why it appears they still do not have a functioning bowser. Given the feedback from those who attended about extreme dust conditions, how can the Brum Promotion expect to retain, never mind attract additional customers. Obviously it's a personal choice whether to attend future meetings, but I certainly would not be inclined to part with my money to endure dust clouds as part of the "entertainment package"!

Col 850 Posted August 11, 2021 I have no clue on track preparation but I have never seen a track as dusty, it's even dusty after two laps of heat 1. Surely if water is the issue drench the track 30 mins before tapes up, then tractor it. Grading tractor following the bowser, mix the moisture in. I got there 30ins before the start. No tractors did I see. Again the close nature of the contest out entertained the action on track. Still not sure how Morris sneaked past Kennedy to effectively win the meeting for the Brummies. Not sure if Douglas fall cost Lions more or less than Harris fall costs Brummies 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have not read a post saying they are track experts, only of fans who were there so they have the right to complain about the track ? And someone asking about the money that was raised for track equipment what as it been used on? Edited August 12, 2021 by Trackerman48 Wrong word 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted August 12, 2021 The water bowser was working. It came out several times. It doesn't explain why it gets so dusty though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s because the track isn’t prepped right in the first place, water needs to get into the track to prevent dust. Its needs a good soaking the night before a meeting in warm summer conditions and then occasionally watering during the day of the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
