Col 870 Posted October 27, 2022 Track doesn't look like it'll need much bowser action, looks like it's had some fresh material on since I was last here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 5,198 Posted October 27, 2022 Track looks very grippy... which isn't always great around the NSS, hope I'm wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,198 Posted October 27, 2022 Nice to see the Belle Vue promotion parading the trophy around in front of the fans (even if a lot of them haven't turned up) something we sadly didn't do when we won the Championship League title for the first time ever at Leicester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows, maybe next season I'll actually drag myself out of the door on a few Monday evenings, it's a great track to watch racing and it's less than 20miles away, I could even use the train and relax with a beer or 3.

I was working away from home for a few years and would regularly travel over from Warrington and Bradford, sadly now I'm back in Leicester it's 100 miles away, if i were less than 20 miles away I'd be there every week... it's the best speedway racing track in the world for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,267 Posted October 27, 2022 Terrible racing as predicted, heavy track and pretty meaningless meeting right at end of season, riders ain’t going to take any risks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, I really should make more effort, I know I'd enjoy it, I love the speed that they generate round there, it's exhilarating from the back straight. I'm only in Northwich, easy to get there really, I think I've become institutionalised, got too comfy, used to love getting wrapped up for Autumn meetings, BLRC at Hyde Road was always mid/late October. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
