First visit this season and although half decent PL meeting (racing wise) wasn't planning to stay for the NL meeting anyway so looks like I didn't miss much.
Track was watered after the heat 2 delay through Benji Compton's injury
Track was watered *cough* after heat 5 although the watering mechanism was only letting out about a cup full on each bend - farcical
Track was *cough* graded after heat 5 by graded I mean dragging around an old iron fence panel behind the tractor for 4 laps - don't quite see what this achieved.
Track was watered *cough* after heat 10 although the watering mechanism was only letting out about a cup full on each bend - farcical
Track was *cough* graded after heat 10 by graded I mean dragging around an old iron fence panel behind the tractor for 4 laps - don't quite see what this achieved.
By heat 13 the dust was so thick it was like watching speedway in a sauna
By heat 13 the blue groove was at least 12 inches wide going into turn 1
All in all not a great advertisement for track prep I'm afraid.
