Elmo Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) An excellent night out and well worth the trip down from Leicester. Really impressed with the work done to get the stadium up and running and the track was super smooth. A little bit more grip round the outside especially on bends 1 & 2 and it would have been an absolutely top drawer track tonight. If you haven’t made it there yet I would say it’s well worth a visit.

I went into autopilot when i got here climbing up the terraces on the 4th turn to get to the 3rd... but of course the pits have moved to the back straight now and you can walk around the bottom of the terraces I did exactly the same with walking around the terrace!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 A concussion brings an enforced break, sometimes if the trackside MO feels the concussion is severe they may tick the box that means the rider will need medical clearance before returning to racing. The end result is after a concussion the rider may feel fit but if unable to pass the test they cannot be signed off as fit to race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 What a great night last night, nice weather, big crowd, a sprinkling of good racing... and a Leicester win! A big congratulations to everybody that has made Oxford come back... the stadium was looking the best I have ever seen it, it's a great little race track as well with its straight and bends being in good proportions. That's the positives, things that still need working on... While the track proportions are good for Speedway racing, the surface was a bit dry and dusty, but that's not a problem unique to Oxford, the "music" before the start of each race got a bit tedious after about heat 6... too much tractor racing and for the love of god SEND THE RIDERS ROUND AFTER THEY'VE WON A RACE! Big crowd in, most to watch Oxford, but all to watch the riders and they disappear back into the pits as soon as they've won a race! No geeing the crowd up in such a close match. Great meeting though, it's matches like this that keep you going through all the crap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerfulPierre Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 My first visit to Oxford last night travelling down from Leicester, and it certainly wont be my last. From entering the stadium by car with a blue badge holder, we were really welcomed by the gate staff and found a convenient parking space without any fuss. Fantastic stadium and all involved should be congratulated on getiing the facility up and running in such a short period of time. The track produced some good racing and a little more work with the watering could have possibly produced some more lines but overall this was a great advert for the sport. Found that the home supporters on the back straight where many of us stood were really friendly, congratulated us on our win and wished us a safe journey home. Likewise the security staff on the gate made sure that it was safe for pedestrians and ourselves to turn out of the stadium and into the road. Great show Oxford! Well done to all concerned and thanks for a great night! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHowe Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Took a trip to Oxford yesterday - first time I’d been to Sandy Lane. Very impressed with the work that’s been carried out, the facilities looked great, good crowd too. The track perhaps wasn’t at its best, but there was some good racing. Definitely will return in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
