Just a suggestion, I didn't say that is what I thought, I wouldn't call it a hole more like a rut . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holes don’t suddenly appear when a foot presses into them!! Poole is a superb race track, or used to be. The state of the base is a huge issue until rectified.

Steve Shovlar Posted July 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 The track has been rectified. Smooth and new shale. Rides beautifully. All done with huge laser grader a couple of weeks ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the racing and safety is nothing like it was when the cameras were last there. Poole used to be one of my favourite tracks to watch racing on when it used to be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a total imbecile if you think that a rider has gone up to the track and put his foot down and made a nice dirty hole for him and his fellow professionals to race on and put them all in danger Also how awful is the track if (as you say) a foot caused it............means the track is soft Poole should be fined for the way their track is ........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a foot the size of a yeti. On a side note to get tongues wagging.Rules don't really make it clear but was Wells a legitimate guest last night?Not in a declared PL team at the time so should they had been able to use his established PL average.Or should they have used his converted CL average.

TBH it's getting boring keep repeating the same stuff week on week. Poole should be fined for that. Until they are properly reprimanded then it will continue. Thanks for the photos, hopefully shut a few of the wallys up! Was Craig Cook doing headstands on our beautifully prepared track???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 I looked at this thread last night when I got in from the meeting but I refrained from getting involved then. I've now had the time and opportunity of going through it all. Yes sad I know!! The meeting was a good close meeting with some terriffic racing and overtaking with not a single crash or fall until the Cook incident in heat 15. From my position in the main grandstand Cook's move looked deliberate and intentional but if he apologised to Josh then fair play. I would suggest that if that move had happened earlier in the meeting he could well have been thrown out of the meeting there and then - apology or no apology - just my opinion!! (The fact that Nicolai had to be held back by Middlo says it all imo). The 'hole' that Cook video'd on the track walk and which was made worse by riders scuffing it, (I watched them do it!) was also spotted by Middlo and was packed down by the track staff before the meeting began. It didn't cause any rider from either team any issue thereafter! The Stars were a 2-man team - something that Peter Shroeck has commented on - and particularly disappointing were Riss and MPT compared to previous visits - but I'm sire things will be entirely different on Monday despite the Pirates having won twice already at the AFA. Still, patched up or not the 3 Pirates plus guests will still give it a go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Classic replays from the poole fans. Not even a picture is enough, intact Sholvar blames the riders! Wow! Anyway, let's just hope they sort it in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
