bartlett Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 David Helmsley designed the track and would not take any advice from anybody. The result is not good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 They had a blank canvas FFS. So many great tracks in the World they could have copied and they've come up with this turd?looks like just let a drunk loose with a trundle wheel to mark the white line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 The track looks positively dangerous if you actually try to race on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thought Eastbourne could us R/R for Michelsen or can they not as they are already using R/R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Pedersen's experience averted disaster. My thought was 'I know who'll back off first'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Heat 15 was possibly the best race I've seen at Leicester. Heat 15 was rubbish. Edited July 14, 2014 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedybee Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 By far the best meeting I've seen at Leicester! Track shape still needs altering though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencebel Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am so glad that that is over, i am a nervous wreck...Those riders have been so lucky tonight... That is not speedway to me. Think in the winter they need to reshape it.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well thats my Leicester virginity gone (albeit via TV) I must say the meeting wasnt as bad as I expected although that may be down to my very low expectations! The chances of a pass are all but nil without a big mistake being made. The shape is definately all wrong . Not sure there is much that can be done about it though without almost starting again which must be highly unlikely due to the expense. Tinkering with the inside line would make bugger all difference. Some 'entertainmentt' tonight from the high speed spills but thats not I want from my Speedway. Im sure most home fans will go home happy tonight due to the comeback win and you could argue thats all that matters is that enough continue to feel that way. Overall though it left me with one thought in my head - Leicesters revival no doubt can be considered a success but just how much better it couldve been had the planning of the track been equally successful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) I thought it was a bloody brilliant meeting if I'm honest! Well done to both teams; and particularly the Leicester Promotion. I'm sure that I wasn't the only neutral on the edge of the seat. Don't really get the constant criticism about the track; particularly as the majority of people possibly making these comments have never even sat on a Speedway Bike; let alone ridden/raced one. If all speedway meetings were that entertaining, the sport may not be scratching it's arse looking for punters.

diamond_ren Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Only could England have the opportunity to build a track from scratch and get it so badly wrong Edited July 14, 2014 by ren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGT Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It's a shame that the track isn't better, because everything else seems about right at Leicester. It's a strange old shape alright and that problem does need addressing. Cracking climax though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
