steve roberts Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I think the phrase "Flat Track" is referring to the motorcycle discipline, rather than the track surface being flat.... Funny but I never thought that Oxford had much banking until I stood on the centre green...however there used to be a line up towards the fence (pits bend if I recall) that suffered with an adverse camber and sometimes caught riders out. However Dag Lovaas perfected the art of sweeping around opponents on that same bend many a time just edging his back wheel at the point of no return...not what this particular thread initiated but what the heck!

Imagine buying a house in Steepshale Crescent. How's the construction work there coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be a proper flat track thread you need to add half a dozen links.Though you do get a bonus point for putting it in the right thread! just counted at least 6 different flat-track threads on this forum- so I would like to ask Does anyone thing tracks are flatter now than in earlier times ??
