Col 870 Posted August 22, 2022 Was Ok... Most of the highlights came via Becker. Musielak & Howarth did enough to get Tigers a point against a lackluster Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,927 Posted August 22, 2022 Before the meeting I would have taken a point from this meeting. So not unhappy with my teams performance. Surprised to see Masters taking heat 15, hopefully the fall he had won't have caused him further damage to his injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purplepanthernotred 155 Posted August 23, 2022 Was certainly a more interesting meeting than what we usually get at monmore tbf. By no means was it amazing but certainly far from terrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night was the reason I used to like going to Monmore when Poole were in the top league, usually got good racing like tonight in most meetings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geoff100 1,435 Posted August 23, 2022 All it takes is the right camera angle,s one on bend 2 one on bend 4 u see riders flying down the straights and turning at speed into the corners go stand at any track and see how good it looks.any track where u can lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtf 621 Posted August 23, 2022 13 hours ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: As a wolves fan I think the karlson corridor is one of the worst things to ever happen to Wolverhampton speedway, that and the adverse camber on both bends that has appeared in the last few years with around 10ft of unusable track on the outside makes an already technical track just awful, it doesn’t lend itself to racers, it’s just 4 riders trying to stay on the kerb Completely agree, wolves used to be a great track when there was the Karlsson corridor AND an outside line. Now the outside line has all but disappeared it's just 4 guys fighting for the kerb most of the time. In the past used to get to around heat 6 and the outside developed and riders could ride the track "big" and then you had some terrific battles. Whilst I understand a lot of the home riders want it how it is now, and I get that winning teams and home advantage etc is important, it has lost a lot of it's entertainment value. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The adverse camber is worse than rye house used to be, It never was like that in the past up till about 7 years ago and was quite shocked to see how bad it is today, nothing wrong with the shape of wolves but it only has 3/4 of the bends usable and imo that makes for not great racing 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,173 Posted August 23, 2022 It was entertaining only because it was close, the racing was typical for Monmore with most races decided by the first corner. I thought it was a strange decision for Sheffield to use R/R with this match the only one taking place but to be fair 9+1 was a good return, Masters didn’t look or sound fit enough so like Kelvin I was surprised Adams put him into heat 15.

It's a particularly poor camera angle that they use for the majority coverage at Wolves and doesn't show the racing in the best possible way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noaksey 348 Posted August 23, 2022 I know when Glyn Taylor was doing the Wolves track he was going to sort the drop off to the fence on turns 3 and 4. I did the track walk with PK and Fred at PK's testimonial and they said they hoped it would be fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
