The California State Speedway Championship Final at the tapes (inside - outside): Broc Nicol, Slater Lightcap, Billy Janniro, Austin Novratil. The finishing order was Nicol, Lightcap, Novratil, Janniro.

Agreed, i had a friend with me last night who hasn't been in years and although enjoyed it thought the racing wasn't very good. The blue groove on both bends was awful as well, haven't seen it like that for a few years. Also noticed that several of the track lights were out on the first and second bend that made it a bit dark, not ideal for rider safety

Tricky one, i felt Kerr should have gone as he caused the incident. Whatever the reason he was still under power though as rode back to the pits so hard to say what caused the issue.

Anybody know who was putting in a few laps at Poole yesterday afternoon?

I do think we need some consistency in the track preparation, we have no real home advantage at the moment as it seems to be different every week. The usual outside line was totally missing last night. Both Ben and Zach looked to have the speed to pass but the lines were just not there to let them pull off the moves. Not sure if our regular track man is back yet or if it is a combination of a few things and maybe need some fresh track material again.

No Nathan apparently from the Speedway Star front page

Did anyone hear what Matt Ford said last night? where we were sat was too noisy to hear him properly

Which is why i said likely and based on years of seeing the same happen. No fault of the promotion as damned if you do and damned if you don't

The main problem with this weather is the track is likely to be under watered due to the threat of rain all day so could end up vey slick and a dust bowl early on

Not sure if i am missing something but where is it said that Matt is asking the council for financial support? I am guessing it is more with support around the conditions of the original lease from the council and any provisions contained within the covenant when the land was given to the people of Poole

My only fear with Ben is the amount of times he crashes from over trying which i can see resulting in time out to recover. I sincerely wish him the best no matter who he rides for, you will certainly be holding your breath at times when he is on track

Anybody heard anymore about ticket sales? the announcement suggested further news within 48 hours but been all gone quiet again. Seems strange as we are getting ever closer to the 9th

Track is embarrassing, they need to get this sorted

After 6 weeks of no racing, I would hope and expect that the track has had some serious work done and there should be no issues with it
