Track wasn't great but you could see a little standing water in places so it had took a lot of rain, maybe overnight ? The crowd looked good to me. But will take SS's word that it wasn't that good. Nice not have to look at loads of empty seats in a grandstand on TV though.. Definitely rained during the day Sunday whether it rained in the night as well I don't know (being asleep! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 14, 2018 The water on the track before heat one was because it had been watered with hoses before the meeting. They never watered it after 6.30 when the gates opened. Note there was no dust during the meeting and no watering either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Brady, he was visably upset with his performance in the pits, no rider wants to ride badly or run lasts especially at this stage, they are a lot better than that and we all know it. Im not going to temp fate here, but Somerset Poole would be nice... See what i did there .. Real genuine question, why would you put them up, I presume you mean inflate them and they are in place? so that all the water runs over the track??

The days when we watched Speedway in the rain have long gone. The grandstand , without doubt, gives the best view in the house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoke Potter 242 Posted August 14, 2018 No dust last night? To be fair, they probably couldn't see the dust for all the dust! Do Poole even have a water tanker, pretty sure I've only seen the hose pipe..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
