auntie doris 2,342 Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Jason Doyle and the Swindon Select side didn't have any problem with the track when they won there this year. If you're good enough you can win on any track, as Swindon proved for a few years at Poole before they folded. Top riders like Doyle and Masters can master any track, mentally strong.

Prob not so fun for the riders though. I think they would rather it was smooth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted August 12, 2023 Do we really want to see passes due to holes, ruts, bumps and berms though? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but when people remember there was more passing ten years ago. Important to remember track wasn't this smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish him all the best as he has produced a wonderful facility and can now get some of his investment back.
