If he is down there, because I know he does post on the forum and he's a honest guy who will tell you the truth. Glyns a decent bloke and will do a good job, as i said, the forcast for today is good, suns out, friday and saturday are also forcast the same. You want to see a nice flat slightly banked bends all cambered to let the rain run off and that will be good. As Alan H said, bends one and two have been torn up and will be re laid, not so much bend two but bend one definately needs doing. And if Bald bloke is right in his assumption then it shouldnt tear up as much, although it will still be the most used part of the track.

SSL84 541 Posted February 15, 2018 Having been down to Poole a few times and what I've seen on TV, it does need sorting and someone to keep it good. It can be a good race track and good to watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted February 15, 2018 There doing the right thing sorting out the track. Turn one is just a black hole bouncer than a trampoline. Turn two is fine just has the outside line which wasn’t as good as the years before. Turn 3 never been too bad just needs a little work. Turn 4. If you run deep like many do then it seemed to spit people out last year while in the past it has been like turn 2. Would be happy to start it turn 1 wasn’t as bad.

Turn one and two have been completely taken up and will be re- laid, turn 3 is better than it used to be, turn 4 had to much excess dirt on it. you will see a big difference this season.

Ideally you would need to give it some decent depth really you would need 50 ton of shale. then keep topping it up throughout the season. to get it out from under the fence you need free staff and people have to work, its also a dog track and the staff work on that.
