Edinburgh - new home required….

with councils losing so much money with budget cuts everywhere they were always going to go for the highest bidder i wonder what was the difference between bids i think they should have tried everything to buy Armadale everything in place there just do it up over next few years surely not much difference in the price between buying it and building a new one from scratch but heard they have burnt there bridges with the owners -
a few clubs enquired about dropping riders for ones that have finished for the season but were told no chance

Rubbish nothing to do with the fence FIM events here have to have a polyfoam fence it’s part of the regulations -

it would not matter where the gate was 3rd 4th bend is ridden differently it’s the entry into the first bend where every rider heads for it’s was like spongy clay about a meter and a half in diameter and there wasn’t really any way you could avoid it going into the corner it’s alway been there lots of tracks have the same problem but some use other materials it’s the same bit that gets the most use where the bike really turn hard to try keep it on the inside line some use clay to stop it rutting braking up its usually no problem when it’s dry or just a bit soft on top but too much rain and it won’t dry properly hence why they set fire to it to try dry it out leicester had the same problem but they filled it in with concrete but might be changed now the smaller tighter track are the worst because the bikes need to turn really hard i think plymouth tried there hardest to get it on and hoped it would dry out but never did as the promotor said it’s speedway damed if you do damed if you don’t -

they wanted to do that at a NL meeting we were at but riders said it wouldn’t work so they tried to fix the exact same spot as last night and ended up ripping up the complete corner knackering the meeting and we all went home -
I can tell you Both sets of riders agreed in the pits that it was pretty dangerous nothing to do with the referee really the part that was soft and spongy was on the riders line entering turn one and any rider hitting it would have picked up and sent them straight into the fence if it was a bigger track you could have maybe rode around it
-
get the people to do it live on the next BSN meeting simple
-
can’t see it working like that every team will want final leg make it simple draw balls then there’s no problems
-
just hope they can agree dates don’t want it dragging on into September/October get it over and done with it while there’s plenty free weeks draw balls to see who gets 1st 2nd 3rd meeting

So basically you could team ride if together and don’t do anything dangerous or stupid like slow down which could cause a accident -

Maybe with Basso having made the gate off gate 2 like he had done in every race he could have clamped the rider in gate 1 and let Danyon come around the outside and maybe could have team rode for 2@3 place all ifs and maybes now we’ll done to Redcar no last places wins it -

pretty much the same with most clubs why would they not bring play off forward and run them in decent weather rather than a wet september/october -
Edinburgh v Glasgow , jubilee thingy , 29/7/22@19-30
mac101 replied to Paulco's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Watching from the pits looked like Paco left a big gap for ulrich to dive to the inside and he was just in front heading into bend 4 when Paco tried to come back over him but ulrich was caring too much speed into the corner and Paco really had to bail out racing incident -

pretty sure cole’s got a paid win in the reserve race when he was at scunny -
I think Nl first which is much more affordable to start with walk before you can run comes to mind with practice day, armature meetings hire days to recoup monies to reinvest to make it even better

Basso told them well before the season ended that he wouldn’t give up his wednesday Danish team commitments and would only have 3 free wednesdays in July their mid season break ,Poole were never going to change their race night just for one rider He was asked by a load of other clubs for his services but his uk mechanic helped him with the choice of uk clubs to ride for both A bit like Vissing missing a few wednesdays with his danish club riding the same night

Dane’s and Wednesday night racing in uk never will work
