89buttons Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Chris’s commitment to improving the track has to be commended, every off season he’s looking to improve the shape for the benefit of the racing and fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Not sure anything that's been done so far has greatly improved anything,, but better banking should see a noticeable improvement. Smaller tracks with good banking can be awsome,,, as scunthorpe and Redcar show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think the widening has improved things a bit, I’ve not been for quite a few years but looking at some of the heats which pop up on the BSPA site from the Foxhole many of those passes wouldn’t have happened on the old narrow track. It can’t / won’t happen but it could probably do with being widened outwards rather than inwards. Hopefully the extra banking will help, can’t do any harm.

How does the banking work with the stock car track around it , does it form a ridge that gets flattened by the cars or leave the area as a kind of hump were the two tracks meet.

Baldyman Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) There is basically a raised sausage curb around the corners,,, so add banking they need to take the inner curb downward Edited February 21, 2020 by Baldyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I was there a week ago, can't say I noticed any change to the banking. Minor if any I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Crump was at Saddlebow he always had the track set up for him, the other 6 didn’t have any say. Like it or lump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 So what colours do we think race suits will be? I thought last years was good,,, bikes as well. I did hear and see a fair few saying they couldn't tell who is who under the not so bright lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully very similar to last years, far and away the smartest I've seen tbh, possibly a bit of pink included this year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easy and inexpensive alternative which would make the same point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Great idea,,,, Troy Lee do a nice pair of pink gloves,,, only 20 ish quid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
