But has riders that refuse to ride if a track isn't to their liking, no thanks. As I said Wright was on track ready for heat 5, Kerr won heat 4 by a mile, MPT gave Riss a race in heat 4. Who complained? My first visit to PB this year was that disastrous KO cup clash and tonight will probably be my last visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in the pits you would have heard the two home riders complaining . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, couldn't hear them, the tractors were drowning them out. If there was a problem with the track I'd expect Thomas to be cautious entering the corners, as he has been when that is the case all year, but tonight he wasn't - won heat 2, kept MPT honest in heat 4.

So one rider rides better than you expect and therefore everything is hunky dorie ? The club would not have done the extensive track work if it was only Redcar complaining. The ref also agreed to the track work being done. The biggest complainers were the amateurish Birmingham promoters who have proved their ineptitude once again. If you can’t prepare a half decent , safe, race track , because of “ lack of time “, then don’t try and promote speedway ! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best indication I have of track conditions at Perry Barr, other than those visible to me (dust, soggy patches, ruts - none of those before I left) is the attitude of Thomas entering the turns. It's consistent, he rides the track week-in, week-out, I see him every match. What do you want me to do, get Tatum's dirt-o-metre out and and go check the track myself.

Barry The Cat Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 “Main Man” Rogers overseeing another track related fiasco! Don’t recall track issues week in week out under Graham Drury’s stewardship! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Lion Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 The Birmingham track is just terrible . Birmingham fans will complain that Redcar won the match because they got the track how they like it. When in reality Birmingham were only winning because the track was damn right dangerous as soon as it was made safe Redcar ran away with it & showed what a poor quality team Birmingham are . They have got away with it for so many weeks having a dangerous track & now they have been caught out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the best indication is that that track work was carried out, I’m assuming with the referees approval. If it wasn’t necessary then it wouldn’t have been sanctioned.
