Boring Race Surfaces.

[Odds On 373]

it seems nowadays tracks are prepared to be smooth, virtually no grip, lack of shale etc...speedway is in the entertainment business and guess what all those ingredients for todays tracks do not give entertainment.

 Lets look at Saturdays Swedish GP, the only real highlights were the crashes.

There will be those that disagree but todays tracks are basically made for the start tarts in the sport,

You didn't see the BU21C from Glasgow then?

Leicester has been far too slick this season. It's good for about 3 or 4 races but they just don't keep on top of it with watering and before you know it, it's a slick dust bowl

Obviously posting on here is like preaching to the converted...but lets be honest the sport in general in terms of actual racing/passing has gone down hill rapidly.. Classic examples are the Speedway GP's, meant to be the highlight of all the top riders performing to a worldwide audience, ye the tracks are in general abysmal, packed and packed so that they resemble a road surface, yet the outcome is a boring track, give them something to race on, not just one line where if you dare to look for grip on the outside you are punished.
