Odds On Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 it seems nowadays tracks are prepared to be smooth, virtually no grip, lack of shale etc...speedway is in the entertainment business and guess what all those ingredients for todays tracks do not give entertainment. Lets look at Saturdays Swedish GP, the only real highlights were the crashes. There will be those that disagree but todays tracks are basically made for the start tarts in the sport, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good for about 3 or 4 races but they just don't keep on top of it with watering and before you know it, it's a slick dust bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Obviously posting on here is like preaching to the converted...but lets be honest the sport in general in terms of actual racing/passing has gone down hill rapidly.. Classic examples are the Speedway GP's, meant to be the highlight of all the top riders performing to a worldwide audience, ye the tracks are in general abysmal, packed and packed so that they resemble a road surface, yet the outcome is a boring track, give them something to race on, not just one line where if you dare to look for grip on the outside you are punished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
