robert72 845 Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks for your reply, nice to see that I was not alone in my thinking. Could any one tell me ? If my idea was to be done, how difficult would it be to add more shale and get it to bind with the surface that has been there for nearly a year now. I think it is possible, look at how they bind in shale to make cardiff and copenhagon, dont think it would be a hard job with the right tools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 5, 2012 Adding in more clay to the shale mix would help bind it together and would produce more grip. I Think you will find most tracks classed as grippy have a good amount of clay in the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skodaman 192 Posted May 5, 2012 Following the updates for the Somerset match, I thought the meeting was at Leicester for the first ten heats. Heat 7 was the only heat where passing took place after the back straight on the first lap. Fortunately, things livened up in the last five heats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobblytriers 201 Posted May 8, 2012 I think wie-ja has a point, though I can't say I agree with the last part of his sentence I think that there's definitely been an improvement in the last couple of meetings, and this is without any change to the track shape. Maybe it's the amount of water, or the depth of shale or the type ... I don't know. Others have suggested that it's because the riders in the last two meetings have been more equally matched. Maybe so. What is interesting is what seems to be happening at Glasgow. They spent alot of money on track changes (I'm not sure when they were made - anyone know?) and despite winning the league last year, the crowds have gone. Winning on it's own is not enough. Apparently, the racing isn't very good, so I'm reading, so although they've changed the track to make the racing better, it hasn't worked. Does that mean that it's not just down to track shape and this is why DH hasn't gone down that path? If BP is shaped like Wolverhampton, how come there was a cracking meeting there just over a week ago? If it's just down to the shape then I would expect the racing at Wolves to be way below what was on TV a few nights ago and be pretty much the same as BP. I hope that things are on the up now for the Lions and for the racing at BP. We've got some good racers in the team and it's been good to watch them race in the last couple of outings. Keep going Lions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
