montie Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I can t remember exactly but cvs talked about covers at wolves fans forum in jan/feb he said there were several problems like you can t just cover you got to have air flow under cover, and at some point they would have to come off to prep track and start meeting and he found a system cost about 40 thousand to cover monmore green That air flow under the covers is a load of beau locks,I have heard this before and the reason given was if it didn't it would sweat...so bloody what!!! Let it sweat...you need a bit of moisture on a track anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Some look for solutions, some just see problems! None of these so-called problems are insurmountable - just needs the will and some forward thinking?? Give them time, as this dodgy British weather is a new thing.

Najjer Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Mate, unfortunately you WILL need new Dranage and soakaways. Tarpaulin, there's Tarpaulin and Tarpaulin, we have heavy duty green stuff, but even that is not ideal. We lay ours on the entrance to bend one and bend three, but ideally, yes angled so all the water drains on to the infield, hence soakaways and drainage.. As for your last point, thats obvious, but you ever tried to predict this crappy british weather?? It's not ideal, you Are right - the only thing that would be ideal would be for the sun to remain out all year round but that isn't ever going to happen so we need to make the best of a bad job so to speak... And in my opinion, we aren't doing that at the moment. From my research too, I'm led to believe track staff are at the track for the majority of the racenight, so Friday in our case as well as numerous other times throughout the week. Common sense would be if the heavens open on Friday daytime the track is covered until such a time when they can removed. Lets be honest, it can only help towards matters and could be the difference between keeping a meeting on - especially since I've proven that CVS quote of 40,000 and previously a quote of over 100,000 in previous discussion are completely way off the mark. Some look for solutions, some just see problems! None of these so-called problems are insurmountable - just needs the will and some forward thinking?? Give them time, as this dodgy British weather is a new thing. The most frustrating thing for us fans is that no one has even bothered to give it a go and trial it. Last night is the most frustrating thing about Speedway and is something that no one has attempted to address. Trying something new will bring up problems, but as you say a solution is well within reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
