Any shale I have seen is usually brown in colour but it definitely looked black last night. Very strange. Buster's stock car stuff from Lynn. Thankfully they don't seem to pile it on at P'boro like at Lynn because it's not good at all for racing if there is too much of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't exactly remember who it was as I was watching BSN two nights running, but either Justin Sedgman or Adam Roynon said that when riding at KL they put Speedway Stars inside their team suit as the track is so hard there! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took longer last night than previous weeks as well for an outside line to develop, not sure if it’s the heat in the day that dictates another line developing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been death by a 1000 cuts since Andrew Mercer arrived as EoES CEO 20 years ago (most of the houses that you saw were nowhere to be seen at that time). It's just a piece of land being continually developed for houses as Peterborough expands. Those who use it are just in the way of that objective. AEPG have their vision & if speedway isn't part of it (which it isn't) then they are not going to change that situation now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted July 12, 2022 Early doors the track was wet and grippy, when it went slick we couldn’t live with them from the gate, bottom line is two riders got 32 between them and the other 4 got 10, RR got us 8 which is fairly reasonable to be honest. But you cannot generally carry 4 riders and that’s the bottom line. What can you say about Bomber, the blokes been absolutely on fire this year and Basso has been the newcomer of the season for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably 46 on the track land Could get 4-6 in the pits!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tracks big but not that big , of course the land around the track and Grandstand would house even more properties but i was talking about the actual land the track and grandstand actually sit on if it was to be left in situ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for tonight fortunate Masters had an off night or the defeat could of been heavier. I remember earlier in the season when Panthers were covered on Eurosport a rider slating the new track surface / shale at Peterborough claiming it was one of his favourite tracks but now garbage ( or words to that effect) - could this be the reason or is it just a case of one season too many. I also do not like the new surface and think that does have an impact Harris has a good record at Lynn so no surprise he's loving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
