How did the attendance tonight compare to other meetings? 

Very poor, combination of school night, Manchester City parade happening and we had a meeting on Thursday. Will be more then double the size on Bank Holiday Monday.

Glad to hear that the crowd is usually bigger. British Speedway needs Belle Vue to be successful and I wish you every sucess

My long awaited first visit to the NSS tonight, and to be honest I was somewhat disappointed with the racing - perhaps because my expectation was quite high.

The outside line didn't really seem to be working, with the quickest line generally being on the inside. Indeed, most of the passing was riders going past anyone who moved off the line.

The racing was fast and close in the main, and I enjoyed the view from the South stand. You are certainly close to the action.

Two or three good races, and I certainly want to visit again. 

The start of the meeting is naturally when you ride down by the kerb. Happens in all the GPs. However that is unusual for bv, strangely. The outside has been good even in early parts of meetings since the track opened.

As the meeting went on and the surface began to break up around the outside it became usable and the racing dramatically improved. Like rob said, a number of us were screaming for the home lads to go wider. Doyle knew that’s where the racing line was. 

Overall that was a much better racing experience than you will find in 90% of British tracks, imo.

It seems strange if it is riders that are asking for the track to be graded differently. It is Fricke, Bewley and to a lesser extent Bjerre, who have made so many passes and gained so many points by using the wide line. At the moment we see Fricke and Bewley trying the wide line and losing ground until it comes into its own in the last third of the meeting.

Good to see that Zach and Dan Bewley were at the No Limits event at the NSS today receiving help and advice from Jason Crump. I'm sure that both will have benefitted.

 

Good work Jason!!!    If only J.C.

was based in the U.K. nowadays, on top of everything else we could have a decent commentator for the T.V. meetings.........

Great racing and after the shambles at Poole and Swindon today shows what can be done with a track that is prepared properly.

Tonight at Swindon the problem was the first bend that had only recently been laid. 

 

You'd know now all about that at BV wouldn’t you ? ....... glass houses ?
