All this could of been avoided today if the track was protected for the 30-45 minutes it actually rained. Covers that’s a forgotten word nowadays.Must not have been the greatest thing ever that it was claimed to be by a certain Club.( not Tigers). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,069 Posted June 12, 2022 Track staff deserve every praise , at three o clock there looked no chance of this going ahead. It turned out to be an entertaining meeting despite the scoreline . Ben Basso was brilliant , though I think him and Ostergaard should be split up . Both riding the same line and getting in each others way , could end in tears one of these weeks 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,305 Posted June 12, 2022 Something overlooked today was the very minimal grading once ht1 got going. It had no detrimental effect on racing IMO with passing right through to ht15. #ScrapHt10Grading 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryehouseforever 45 Posted June 12, 2022 The track staff at Glasgow are the best in the country. They knew what their track needed despite pressure from riders, officials and spectators. It needed time to dry out and then graded. It was perfect come five pm. You have days like this in Scotland with the weather. To those that left you missed a good meeting. Speedways biggest enemy is the weather. Hats off to the riders who in nearly all cases were patient and got on with it. The referee deserves credit for he was calm during the whole proceedings. Everyone I have mentioned deserves credit where it due. Well done! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think we just be about 10-20 points down if tallied results between heats 11 and 15 prior to today. No need for the total regrading that goes on imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully got some power back in his machines He has bought a pretty new FGM engine and seems to be working well he used it last week at home but he never used it at scunny as it was far too strong for the slick track there but used it yesterday and tonight so hopefully he can go on a run of good scores now Edited June 13, 2022 by mac101 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,405 Posted June 14, 2022 Our track certainly was not slick on Friday even if there was evidence of shale on the "runway" on the centre green. Too much shale had been put down a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
