IronScorpion Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Considering what Rob said in the clubhouse after last weeks meeting that it was almost called off after he put new shale down & it did not bed in & turned to mush, what would the track be like after a possible deluge for the riders & fans. We do not want to see/read "from the gate after bend 2 after being filled in. Some riders packing in as could not see." It is not about the "now" but track prep & conditions later.

The race times were not too slow(around 59-60 seconds) & as others have said, it was towards the end of the season when Poole had quite a few more meetings to race so just got on with it, hoping to be in front after heat 10 so the result could be declared. Was it not, also, the meeting when the away manager tried to use a TS in heat 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both social media and the club website updated at midday, well before anyone needed to set off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
