That's been happening for years at Poole. it's nothing new. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,910 Posted April 20, 2023 It was one lined anyway but being so slick that the blue groove appeared just accentuated it. And tbf it wasn't just Richie, Stevie wasn't exactly singing the tracks praises in his interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track was good on Good Friday Vs Oxford. I guess they underestimated conditions yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,205 Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) ... so we're all agreed, the Poole track is by far the worst in Speedway? Edited April 20, 2023 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
