S.B Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 That is what helped the national team of Costa Rica? It was a bit like Brazil and the world cup, finishing off at the last minute - rarely ever good management. No luck with the weatherMore recently we had the tropical heat. last week - rain showers. Old path - the concrete. new coating turns into a swamp Fortuna non penis, in manus non recipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) BEEN back to the stadium this evening and they will have guys working throughout the night in case it rains again so that they can clear any surface water. Of course, at this stage there can be no absolute guarantees and I can think of many tracks in Britain that would already have called the meeting off. It has the potential to be a terrific speedway stadium alongside a Nuremberg Ring type road racing circuit and an indoor go-kart track. They have plans for proper training schools to help nurture new speedway talent in Latvia and to raise the profile of the sport here. Much of what they are doing puts us (the UK) in the shade. They have genuinely been unlucky with the weather and some problems with drainage which couldn't cope with the volume of water at one stage. But they haven't just sat back and done nothing. They have some high profile government officials due to attend tomorrow (including the Transport Minister). It is very easy to criticise from afar but they have come a very long way in a short space of time and all they need now is for the weather to be favourable although the latest forecasts are not encouraging.

Ghostwalker Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 That track should have been ready for racing weeks ago, and had a meeting or two - not just a few riders having a go. It was a bit like Brazil and the world cup, finishing off at the last minute - rarely ever good management. The track is/was ready, the current work is because it rained, allot.

Woz01 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Must be the track if there changing the venue? They are due thunderstorms all day today so probably think it will be a safer bet to move it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
