sjw ministerofport Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well done Mr Chapman what a great racing surface. I think Peterbourough is the best race track in the country. I just hope that Leszno is prepaired to the same standard but doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTM Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Absolutely agree....great track and plenty of lines. Mind you Protasawiezc found a really unusual one, halfway up up the exit from turn 2.... How did he stay on..... good job the fence was there on the backstraight....Ouch..!! Can,t deny the track was superb but being a track curator myself I feel sorry that Dickie Greer has been somewhat overlooked. He took over track prep in the winter and has spent a lot of the close season working on the surface getting it flat and safe I don,t know why this meeting was not under his control as I am sure he is very capable of preparing a top class racing strip.Not having a go Buster or his staff but as is the case where big meetings occur its always the guys that do the hard work day in day out who get left out in the accolades OK rant over cheers Mick C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 At Kings Lynn last night Buster was asked over the PA if he would take the job of track curator for GP's etc full time ? His Answer and possibl y the answer to the questions posed on here. ' I knew the track wanted watering prior to and after HT1, I was told by Ole Olsen over the radio NO WATER AND NO GRADING- This happened on a No of occasions during the meeting and did not enable me to do a better job' NO I wouldn't like the job. Speedway Star today: At 15 minutes to midnight Olsen was still on track, brushing down the fence adverts so they could be taken down and transported to other meetings.(COULD THIS BE THE REAL REASON)!!!

speedibee Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 When it comes to track preparation - is anyone actually an Olsen fan? I was talking to the lads from Team Viking yesterday , and they said almost all the tracks in Denmark are really slick so maybe Ole does'nt know any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) the GP's/SWC arent held in denmark solely... or only for Danish riders either I think Ole's 40 odd years of experience of tracks from all over the world should save him from any accusations of ignorance Edited July 16, 2009 by spook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
