I'm a relatively recent convert speedway spectator, and just love it. I have been watching Poole at Wimborne Road. Until last night when I made the trip up to Sandy Lane to watch the Grand Final. My question is how much do track surfaces vary and how does it effect what it's like to race on? I noticed that the Sandy Lane track looked like a finner material compared to Poole's, and that it's prepared to be drier. I'm really just guessing but it appeared that the drier/finner surface was harder to ride but if you get it right gives you a faster race. Maybe I'm way off the mark, but I'd be interested to hear any insight ex racers might have to offer.Â

Rain. Fastest time 61 secs. Time for ht 16 rerun over 71 secs, think that gives you a clue.

From a purely business standpoint, that makes perfect sense. Why lose money on the NDL if you can just pick up promising riders anyway? Perhaps there should be some incentive for NDL teams, if clubs sign your riders, pay you a "training fee"? -
Apologies if I'm repeating a thread posted elsewhere. Just been caught up on the shooting of young Jay Cartmell who died after being shot in a field in Cumbria ten days ago. Very sad story of an apparently shocking accident. He is reported to be an ardent supporter of Workington and was a regular at the track on race nights along with his Dad. Absolutely shocking for the whole community. All my thoughts are with Jay's Mum & Dad and all his family and friends. They must be devastated at losing him at only eight years old. Hope you can still hang around the pits up above Jay on race days. Rest in Peace young man  Â
