I work on a local golf course and it’s gone from green to toast in just a few days. my question would be, if the material they currently use is just so so difficult to produce an outside line with when it’s so hot and dry, is there a better material that could be sourced to suit the climate and track here at Foxhall? I agree that the stock cars running all over it between meetings really don’t help. I thought the track had been watered well but the riders still couldn't get enough drive round the outside, the inside line is too good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilTheAce 498 Posted July 6, 2022 Good line up again. I’m surprised fans haven’t taken to this. Plenty of heat 13 and 15s which is what we all want to see 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

secsy1 207 Posted July 6, 2022 Yet another meaningless attempt to promote something no one cares about. Instead of trying to preach on speedway forums, promoters need to get out into the real world to attract a new audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted July 6, 2022 Should be a better meeting at Lynn hopefully! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieE 123 Posted July 6, 2022 Why has this round been so poorly communicated? Start of the week I was thinking of taking the day off work to attend if strong lineups had been announced and a bit of build up had been done to encourage me to go...yet nothing! Gave up on the idea as it's a long way to travel at the moment and take time off work on the whim that the meeting *might* be a good one. From the lack of announcement I assumed the lineups were weak and stayed away. Hope they get it right for the Sheffield round as that's another one I'm on the fence about going to!

kelvinht 351 Posted July 6, 2022 Don't know why all the negativity on this. Watched first round on BSN, went to Ippo for second round, and will be at Lynn tomorrow. It's a good concept, but as usual needs much better promotion to interest people outside the speedway circle. The only thing that needs a bit more thought is use of the reserves 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

castrolargh 263 Posted July 6, 2022 Its a shame Sheffield aren't giving Tobias Museilak a run out , him and Picko and Bomber are worth the admission on their own, chuck in doyley as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
