Hawk127 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 15 minutes ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: A wet track is really easy to ride if there is no dirt on it, it’s just like riding on smooth ice but you don’t rev it hard going into the corner, you sort of feel your way into the skid but once that line has been used it automatically begins to dry and traction becomes normal visibility will be the main issue which for the first few races would be next to zero after the entry into first corner Thanks. It is feedback like this that helps the layman understand the issues and if only a few more commentators offered this sort of information. Cheers.

I don’t think there is a uniform answer to questions like that cause different riders like different things, I loved racing in the rain and wet tracks but someone like Jaimon lidsey doesn’t like wet tracks but we raced different engines so we would have different views Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watching the practice starts and it would seem that the surface is wet but underneath it is drier. Not perfect and only the riders know whether it is good to go as far as competitive racing is concerned. I do remember some who did not mind racing in the rain but I am going back to the 70’s with the likes of the old guard giving it a go such as Terry Stone, Arthur Browning, Dingle Brown, Ted Hubbard and Brian Foote as well as the Kennet brothers. I know you could probably name many more but I guess today’s racing with the bikes being used is a different ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to the track staff for at least giving it a go to get the track race-able. Time will tell if it works OK and hopefully safe riding for all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
