Track Curator For Tomorrow?

[Sir Jasper 192]

Well as I said, as long as he has instructions on what to do it will be fine.

[philfromcov 326]

i think colins been doing it all season we still have a good track.

 

obviosly when he gets next to olsen who knows!

 

the only defence on this is that you have to make a track to last 25 races rather than 15, which might mean different preperation?

[Sir Jasper 192]

well fingers crossed.

I'll reserve judgment until I've seen it, but I sincerely hope it's the same as usual.

 

Fingers crossed indeed.

Exactly that Trees, Being a Coventry fan I have seen the track become one of the best in the league over the past few seasons. I do not want it to become a slick borefest that Meredith used to prepare for us which led to Coventry being known as a gaters paradise.

Worth repeating this quote because it sums up what most of the Coventry fans think and we should know because we've had Colin prepare the track in the past.

Might be worth getting the opinion of the Swindon fans as well as he was track curator there too.

Perhaps we are all worrying over nothing, but here's hoping for the normal preparation tonight and some good racing to make up for the boring stuff we had to endure on Saturday.

we can ask Belle vue as well

[Gemini 4,894]

Is that where he currently works? If so it speaks for itself as I've never heard so many moans about the Belle Vue track as this year.

Who's idea was it to bring him back to Coventry?

[Sir Jasper 192]

I dont think he is working there now however he certainly was during the 2005 season

[Silver Bee 57]

Yep, last years Biritsh final track certainly was, erm, 'special' to say the least

Grrrrr. I think curator is a strong word.

[spook 28]

imho it is crucial whether it is a slick track or not tonight........

 

I will be fully 100% behind the boys tonight but on paper the Swedes are far better gaters.........and it is bound to level things out for the other two teams as well............. if another Vojens is served up the Brits may have to get some practice in at Leszno before the final

[Sir Jasper 192]

Poorest track I have seen at Brandon for a while....

The times were reasonable (nothing special) early on when it was one line. So all that was really achieved was making a poor race track. As the meeting wore on the times were around 1-2 seconds off a good pace. The racing improved, but it wasn't as good as it can be. Chris and Scott in particular were having to go sooooooooo wide to find a bit of extra drive that it was scary to watch at times.
