screm 8,057 Posted March 26, 2014 I've helped out at Berwick preparing the track in the past, my health does not allow it these days unfortunately, what you have written above is the biggest load of pIsh i think i have ever read, even for you, you listen to far too many riders who think they know how to prepare a track but in reality like yourself, would not know where to start. You seem to have a touch of OCD when it comes to track preparation. Get of your backside, go to the track and physically help do the job, and then, and only then you might have a very slight idea what you are talking about. Good grief.

You will also find that in some countries the riders learn track prep as part of their apprenticeship, this doesn't happen in this country but maybe it should. Have you ever been on a bike on a speedway track bit different from a tractor. What we need at Berwick is a track that the riders like and it stays the same so the home riders don't waste time having to work out the set up needed this can mean a few points in the 1st races as the away team are working things out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say its consistent track prep that the home riders need, something that doesn't happen at Berwick. However I'm sure lessons have been learned and this season the Shielfield track will be better for it. This "can you do any better" argument is just childish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted March 27, 2014 If they prepare a slick track with surface grip, we should do OK. wonderful track conditions.. just how do they do that.. i know , its magic... never seen a slick/grippy track preparation in all my days of watching speedway..
