Most of any top dressing would have blown away especially on to the dog track which wouldn't have pleased the landlords. I'm sure they'll get some water down if it doesn't rain and some dirt created or added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They got water into it although had to do a repair job on the bowser .... track will start slick till it beds in and more dirt will be added. The riders all commented at the track being good to ride .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding of the rule was out of date, and IronScorpion clarified what it is now in his post above. Other teams abide by it, so no excuses. LR knows it too, and considers it a price worth paying in order to have Ellis on board for (most of?) the rest of the season. With it being an away fixture, it probably made his decision-making process that much easier for him. And when did the paying spectator getting VFM ever come into consideration in the realm of British Speedway, anyway?
