Expand You've been reading the Echo.. I understand where Matt is coming from, Chris needs to get back to his best, but we need a motivator, somebody who's going to let his mechs get on with the job and he roams the pits giving advice and just generally keeping the boys spirits high. As i said in another post both Chris and Neil can play a pivital part in showing the new lads how to ride the poole track properly. I expect them to get in plenty of laps on P&P day..

SteveLyric2 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Wouldn't it be good if Matt's new social media agency could arrange for some photos of the track machinery on track - on the website, on Twitter and Facebook pages?! Not much interest to anyone bar the speedway regulars - but it might just stop any doubters. You never know the Echo might even be prepared to use them?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalan Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 When i popped in there was no one there as dog track had been done. But inside of first two bends had been stripped. Start line is moving back 10 metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Ok thats interesting, bend one needed pulling up and re laying but really that area needs to be dolled off when its done so nobody goes on it. Intersting to read startling being moved back 10 metres, makes it a shorter home straight, but a longer run to bend one. I wonder what effect that will have ?

Expand Riders start turning into 1st bend on start line which being ripped launches riders into corner, which being a bit bumpy is not a good recipe.
