That is the one that gets us going again. Brilliant by all our lads. I dunno if the racing would've been better had the track been drier, it's hard to say if our boys would've been more competative. The racing was diabolical though on a track that should produce great racing .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suited us great, and tbh, I'd have thought KL would have got dialled in after few races, they race a track like that every other week. Aces just wanted it more and were gating like demons, especially Jaimon who was rapid out the tapes. They know we're not gaters I guess ... It worked ....

It's not like there was great racing on Thursday either, your riders had no problem gating that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 At the risk of repeating myself it’s completely different material, we are good at home as it is unique stuff. Personally I think the score would have been even wider yesterday if the track was as normal, we were crap and surely would have been picked off had there been passing. However having a big crowd in and preparing a track on purpose to be gate and go (if that’s what happened) is a pretty short sighted thing to do. You would hope any first timers will come back despite it being a pretty dull meeting. You would like to think the track curator was caught out by the weather.

I can’t see preparing the track completely different to normal and the grippiest it’s been for 3 years was done on purpose. One thing I did notice though that was strange, after the first watering break after heat 4, Andy Meredith did 2-3 laps of watering and then went off track. There was then bit of delay and then he came out again and was shaking his head and gesturing like he didn’t think it needed more water but he has been told to.

KIRKYLANE Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 If you want an interesting note re track records then: When NKI broke the NSS track record at the WTC semi in 2019 , then all of the following races that night were faster than the track record that NKI broke that day. Now that kind of a record is not going to be achieved again !!!!e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
