szkocjasid 3,036 Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I'm previous years the Pairs (& fours) have been held as a one-off event, so unless it was held on a Championship track, 3 legs spreads out the home advantage. I probably would've suggested every track host a round, except clubs in the NL, as they already have more fixtures?

You only have to read on here, Updates & Social Media that the racing isn't good. There's been about 1 heat every couple of meetings cause a stir in excitement & it's always the same rider's, Pickering or Jorgensen. Hopefully this season will be a little better as we have 4 racers from the off so the racing could improve, but the track prep also has to be better than recent history, i.e. leave the dirt on the outside & stop dragging back to the curb every three / four heats. It should have been the NSS, EoES & OGS if it had to be 3 tracks. It's been a pretty simple equation for years now, prepare it slicker and the racing can be very good like the League Cup meetings last April and the Leicester v Poole match right at the end of the season. In the summer its loaded with clay and moisture resulting in terrible racing however its graded. Can't see anything changing though unfortunately! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it that riders don't give it 100%, 100% of the time? Only they know that .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
