Used to be a wall just below surface off 2nd turn allegedly at Long Eaton Dave Perks knew exactly where it was and stuck his back wheel on it and get massive speed off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king junior Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just seen photos of the track and it's beyond shocking. God knows how it was allowed to get to that state to begin with and there surely has to be questions brought to Newcastle and also the referee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 If these photos are accurate about the state of the Newcastle track, its possible we won`t be seeing racing anytime soon until these issues are sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Questions need answered as to how it was allowed to even start going by that photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorRacing Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Wondering what statement will newcastle will release? as a newc fan, did seem there were more glasgow fans then us. Also did our riders come out and clap the fans? (I left 5/10 mins after call off) I like speedway, but this season is a complete mess/farce/etc/ dont even feel connected to the team. but all i can hear in my head can clark of the course call refs box Edited May 8, 2022 by HectorRacing Updating it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who does the track now but we didn't really have any problems when Jonny Swales used to do it. Just look on the SCB staff site and you will see the co track curator, co team manager and co promoter are one and the same person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Taken from this week's Raceday Magazine (the Dave Tinning column): "Next Sunday the 15th May there is no meeting as there will be extensive work done to our track by our track curators and by the Track Advisors at the SCB. We have a problem with the first and second bends as there is no drainage and the water is constantly lying there creating a number of soft spots and with limited access to the track, we are taking this free date to hopefully sort the issue out."

Did Glasgow tried to get it called off then? Why wait til riders fall off? Hope Brennan hand is not broken. They wouldn’t have seen it on a track walk as it was covered with shale at the time . Have you not noticed the track gets worn each time it’s raced on !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
