TommyTanker Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Poole used to be a great track, and not even that long ago. Shall be going to Swindon in a few weeks to give it my first look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get that sorted and you have a stadium that could hold high level meetings with views for all to enjoy and attract some big crowds. I guess thats not going to happen though any time soon. They opened up the back straight years ago for a World Team Cup (I think), I remember Lee Richardson having a great night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 1983 GB v USA at Sheffield. Place was rammed. Absolutely as good as anything that Poland provides today. Other than there you get a seat. Now we can’t stand on the back straight. No demand! I wonder why?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Poole last week too and the racing was the best I’ve seen in a long while. Heat 12 is on the BSPA site and shows how raceable the track can be. The NSS is far and away the best track, but it was designed in this decade for this decade’s bikes. Many of the others were designed when uprights were king and it shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common denominator???????? Track was prepared perfect. Preparation is key, shape is an added bonus Exactly what I have been saying for a few years, now. If tracks were prepared similar the racing would be better with the riders having to only adapt to the shapes & sizes of the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
