Track covers is a good idea and I would think it's easy enough to have 6/8 staff members standing by to install them and remove as necessary, removing them when it stops raining etc, just like Wimbledon tennis. As a serious comment, Kent look likely to have real fixture problems if the wet Summer continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't Kent use a small airship to raise/lower the track covers as and when needed. Could be tethered to the centre green and even have some advertising upon it to cover the costs..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofers Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Why not go the whole hog and have a retractable roof built over the stadium, just as they do at Wimbledon and Cardiff? In fact, why not make that a condition for all clubs to have, then we could all enjoy speedway come rain or shine…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large glass dome would do the trick or the poly spheres like the eden project. All tracks would be warm and humid keeping moisture in the racing surface, no chilly October nights and no rain offs.....its the future.

Great really that all Speedway fans are dreamers. The idea of every stadium being in a dome like the Eden Project is very appealing. Maybe Richard Branson will give up his Space Chase and invest in Speedway instead ? His fun would last a lot longer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
