One of the downsides of a well-draining track, I guess. Would any/much of the water put down before 1am still be retained by 7am?

Maybe not on top. I guess the principle is that you need to get ahead - if you wait until the sun's out, it must become a lot more difficult. But I don't know anything about track curation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) I always remember at Eastbourne Bob Dugard watering all day when it was dry and windy like this with no rain in the forecast, starting the meeting with quite a wet track, always created a good dust free track as the sun came off it, we did run a deep grippy track though normally when at top level.

Noelinho Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Track is definitely well watered. With Basso out, I think the tie is gone, but I also suspect the track won't give the Tigers much home advantage tonight. Might be a close one. Could be very interesting.

Noelinho Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I know it's not the usual night and people might also be making the best of the weather, but I hoped the turnout would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but Justin has done a decent job in his place in the two rides he brought a decent bike to. Ben missing doesn't help the tie but it doesn't look to me like it's the reason we're losing on the night. In fairness to Redcar, they've been good. Charles Wright has made some good passes, including on Bomber. Danyon Hume excellent at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryehouseforever Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Getting a gating lesson tonight. Tigers very lacklustre. Atmosphere at track like a morgue. Piper out ohis depth. Complain looks burnt out. Missing Basso without doubt a big miss especially with the composition of this team. The Pole hasn't turned up either. Not happy with Tigers tonight!
