That was wet compared to usual. Yes it’s always that dusty but that’s the best race track I’ve seen in a while.

I have streamed two meetings this week and I was surprised at how dry Workington was. Racing at Glasgow was better but I’m more likely to buy the Workington one again as the stream was better quality. The commentary was clear the camera actually followed the riders and there was no terrible itv style adverts during grading

Fantastic meeting today, just shows what a fab racetrack it is. Unbelievable compared to what was dished up yesterday

Healthy crowd, great racing, loads of passing, a freshly cut centre green, what’s not to like 😂

Berwick admittedly isn’t best race track in the world but it does help when the opposition can get close enough to try and pass Workington were miles off the pace in the first half. Cook and morris did just fine

They have to work real hard on the track to keep the dust down yeah.

6pm starts from next week onwards, plus the floodlights arriving in mid may will no doubt assist massively.

They’ve had the whole weekend to prep that track I’m not convinced an extra 3 hours is going to make a difference.

Makes a massive difference because in the afternoon the track has zero shade, after 6pm it’s behind the backstraight and all the trees.

The sun just dries the track out in no time.

Worky were poor yesterday though ,gating is part of the sport.

Saying they were poor is being kind tbh.

They would have been in with a chance of more like a 10-12 point loss if they could gate.

Shielfeld is like Derwent Park was, has its limitations because of its dual purpose but is exciting to watch riders fly into the 3rd/4th bends at speed.

Third bend is the best place to stand imo.

Ha trees blamed on crap track prep. At least you’ve thought of something original well done 👏
