The Dog Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 12 hours ago, foreverblue said: Yes true, I am not a track expert but I have seen some very wet tracks turned around with taking the surface off and putting new shale down which mixes with the wet base to produce a good racetrack. Can this not be achieved anymore? I think it can, your right, but whether Leicester have any spare, decent shale or willing to get any for 1 meeting is a different matter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Usual warning applies... if you're coming to this (if it goes ahead) be aware that if you park on the supermarket car park there is a 4 hour time limit, enforced by cameras! History shows that running double headers at Leicester takes considerably longer than 3 and a half hours (15 mins each way from car park) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If recent double headers are anything to go by, it'll be 1 hour 45 mins for the first meeting, a 40 minute track prep and 1 hour 45 mins for the second meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Wednesdays forecast looks better than it was with a few showers around lunchtime then a dry afternoon and evening. Saturday looks to be a dry day. I think both meetings will take place on their chosen days. Hopefully on tracks in conditions to produce good, fair racing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
