The difference this season is when they line up at the tapes it is hard to predict race winner as they are All top men now, their first 2 races they settle for position after a lap as usually just sticking to the inside line is the only option as the track is packed down ( tonight seemed to the exception).I agree with another Poster who suggested a few warm up heats( local juniors would do) just to turn the track over.The racing then might be a bit more competitive from the off.( will probably get shot down, but that’s my thoughts). Either that or have a different points scoring system in qualifying heats which means riders can’t rest on their laurels in the heats.( don’t ask me what)
