The track work will be done in the close season ready for march

It’s possible but currently the speedway track is about 250mm above the stock car track. Chris Louis wanted to increase the banking by raising the track but the stock cars would not allow it so only other option is to lower the kerb significantly. The track currently is banked to mid track where it flattens off and becomes unusable really hence the one line track. I think the intended changes will lead to a much improved track maybe like Redcar style banking

The centre green is being lowered by 600mm with new drainage and the inside of the track lowered by the same amount to give much better banking. obviously the majority of the track will be removed to allow for a much lower sub base and then a new shale surface will go in replacing the awful clay surface. spedeworth are demolishing the existing home straight stand and replacing it with a three tier building right up to the first bend. At a cost of £1.75 million. There will be a tunnel through the stand to enter the track. new pits area as current ones will be in the way of the new lengthened stand. But like you say minimal track changes. 😆

Brilliant news.

Brilliant news.

IMO championship on a Saturday evening would be perfect. I went to Mildenhall on Saturday and saw some great racing in the Nora set up but once a season is enough for me as it’s generally the same 12 riders every meeting with a different race jacket the following week. if it was full of young up and coming talent I’d feel differently but it’s often riders who have been reserves at ndl level for years

It’s a no from me

Play offs are not included in the averages for that very reason

Most riders are blissfully unaware of the score during the meeting. But are fully aware of their own scoring.

Whilst Danny had his poorest meeting of the season it’s well worth remembering that his scores ALL season have got us into the playoffs

Here is a fine example of why Poole are so disliked with comments like this.

I’m pretty sure klint and Lawson will be available for Lynn next season

And that’s exactly why the speedway rule book is so cluttered. Every time a smart move occurs other jealous promoters devise a rule to stop a further occurrence. We desperately need independent control of our sport before it dies.

Lightcap would return on a 4 for next season if he doesn’t do enough meetings to attain an average. The cynic in me thinks he was introduced at the appropriate time to not attain an official average.

It’s not the amount of points scored that is the problem. It’s the late arrivals missing track walks and parades. Not going for victory laps when asked. Dirty bikes and twice just not turning up giving very little notice. Michael lee was more reliable.
