Some leave their brains in the toolbox and will just go for it and others will, understandably, have concerns, especially if they've had big injuries in the past. On tricky tracks some will have career best performances, I remember Lol Hare going through the card at Cov many years ago scoring an 18 point maximum on a well dodgy track, I don't think he ever scored as well again! That was some performance ! 1999 Lol actually scored 15, only really backed up by Todd Wiltshire, For the Bees Greg Hancock also scored 15 in the 34-54 Oxford win Good times !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 15, it was some performance! I seem to remember that they bladed the track and there was a huge berm round the outside that Lol kept putting his back wheel in... good times indeed!

Aces51 Posted April 10, 2024 Report Share Posted April 10, 2024 After all the rain the track was bound to be grippy and that does produce processional racing. However, the Met Office forecast was for no further rain until 10pm so therfore, no good reason to call it off. As I have witnessed on many occasions, the drainage at the NSS is exceptional and if the forecast had been correct the track would have been fine after the first few races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
