Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Last week I was there and the track was very poor. We lost Stefan Neilsen in heat 2 and I spoke to Danyon Hume who rode at Brum and he said it was nothing like how it was when he was there. Set up for gate, go wide and stay wide. No chance if you don’t gate. Having said that, it was gate and go at Poole tonight. Edited September 8, 2021 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some questions are easier than others to answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t recall track issues week in week out under Graham Drury’s stewardship! No there were no issues as far as I remember(missed less than 10 meetings both home and away from the 2007 comeback till Alan Phillips decided to f**k it).Come to think of it there may have one issue when Somerset rode and wanted the track surface bladed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Redcar. Be proud. Judging by the weekly reports on Perry Barr meetings,don’t think you can blame Redcar.Lack of track prep seems to be the big issue,fans walking out tells you that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Redcar. Be proud. They don’t race on the terraces though. Cant blame Redcar or any other team for lack of professionalism. As recent photos and video clips show, the track looks good, if your in front, terrible for everyone else, including the dust covered fans who can’t even see who finished where. I accept you supporting your team but it doesn’t make it a well run club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Redcar. Be proud. I am proud to be a Redcar supporter. A well run, well promoted, good team on a fair, well prepared racetrack. A model for most other teams in the league. Can understand you’re upset at tonight’s events but the blame, if the Brummies don’t run next year, doesn’t lie with Redcar. The Bears have been well beaten a number of times away this year and not complained about track issues. The issues with track prep at Birmingham have been well documented. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
