Track is going to need more dirt on it to retain more moisture and provide more grip around the outside, a few lads gave it a go out wide today but found nothing there and ended up going backwards, riders quickly learned that staying down low and hugging the white line is the quickest way round at the moment but it doesn't make for very entertaining racing. Mind you it has been very dry for almost the whole of May, things might improve once the rain returns and the track has had a more consistent soaking. Yes, don't know if you were at the first meeting? That was also hot, but without the wind which dries everything out so much quicker. Bailey and Sam McGurk both went as high up the first corner as you can get without finishing in Flimby and absolutely flew past riders on the back straight. So it is there.

PowerfulPierre Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Planning on travelling up on Saturday and I'm reading a number of comments about the track being very dusty (we have the same problem on a hot and breezy day)! Where's the best place to stand so that I'm not wearing half of your shale on my way home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 If dusty and wind in right direction, the newly installed seats on bend 1 give a great view, but saying that not a bad view from anywhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Wouldn't it better to sort the dust, rather than dodge the wind direction? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
