Expand Nothing to do with the weather imo the weather has been pretty decent up here all week. Not sure who does the track now but we didn't really have any problems when Jonny Swales used to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Obvs not on the track so not sure about hole on 1st and 2nd corner. Most crashes apart from Basso on 4th bend seemed mainly rider error and the last crash before the call off had nothing to do with track. The track tonight was no worse than last few weeks and actually better with the race between Wethers, Starke and Basso race of the season. If there were numerous complaints during the meeting why did the clueless Graeme Hunter wait until heat 10? It makes it look a farce and the meeting should defo of been completed. They said more grading was going to take place and then 5 mins later it’s off. Would Glasgow of been as quick to want it off if they were behind?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) One pass all night according to Cami Brown when there was about 5 in one race and all proper passes.

Did Glasgow tried to get it called off then? Why wait til riders fall off? Hope Brennan hand is not broken.
