Strange that most riders had a 1st or 2nd & the "superstar" C Cook only 1 point from 2 rides tells a different story! Nothing to do with the weather imo the weather has been pretty decent up here all week. Not sure who does the track now but we didn't really have any problems when Jonny Swales used to do it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 214 Posted May 8, 2022 Obvs not on the track so not sure about hole on 1st and 2nd corner. Most crashes apart from Basso on 4th bend seemed mainly rider error and the last crash before the call off had nothing to do with track. The track tonight was no worse than last few weeks and actually better with the race between Wethers, Starke and Basso race of the season. If there were numerous complaints during the meeting why did the clueless Graeme Hunter wait until heat 10? It makes it look a farce and the meeting should defo of been completed. They said more grading was going to take place and then 5 mins later it’s off. Would Glasgow of been as quick to want it off if they were behind?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,017 Posted May 8, 2022 Basso filmed a bit of the track on his instragram stories, with a caption of 'the curb from the 70s' What does that even mean!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if the home riders were quite happy with track conditions then the referee would've had no option but to continue with the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnybegood 254 Posted May 8, 2022 I believe It means there is still the remnants of the old concrete kerb coming through the surface currently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s down to the clown that does the track or makes it look like he’s doing something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 214 Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) One pass all night according to Cami Brown when there was about 5 in one race and all proper passes. I don’t understand why the ref waited til heat 10 then? Edited May 8, 2022 by Gaz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did Glasgow tried to get it called off then? Why wait til riders fall off? Hope Brennan hand is not broken. Edited May 8, 2022 by lisa-colette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would they have done that?? Poole fans regularly told us last season that there track hasnt been bad for years… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
