So, no different from many other tracks ? Even belle vue with its 'best track in the land' title, has racing with no passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards the Team manager Rosco is one of the best team managers of recent years, Rosco or Ermolenko ? and If Rosko is available and affordable then he would be a big improvement, with regards the track the 1st & 2nd bends as a minimum require work on the banking to improve what little overtaking occurs on those bends, you can usually count on one finger the number of overtakes on those bends during a season, however any work may not be feasible due to the short time scale before Perry Barr closes. I would like to congratulate the Brummies on there new tie up with Warwickshire County Cricket Club, if any Warwick members venture over to watch Speedway the noise from the bikes should at least wake up some of those County Cricket supporters more used to having a snooze during games 😁. https://www.birmingham-speedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.3579 Edited October 24 by heathen52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Any follower of speedway that thinks the track is conducive to good racing is either bias-deluded-or needs to go to specsavers. It was prepared well for a couple of meetings, but that's not good value for money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petecc Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Not sure what people want from a track. Deep shale all over like the good old days? Modern machines need to rev so hard ,that anything more than a light dusting of dirt makes them hard to ride prepare it slik and you get dust,people moan, make it deep the riders complain. The hard part is finding the Happy medium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 It does appear to be very technical to get it consistent for 15 Heats and one can appreciate that it's not an easy job. Needs banking on the bends, but I guess that's probably not possible with the dog track on the outside etc... Loved the old 'Shay' @ Halifax! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well two Championship managers are frequently critiqued for making (or not making) various tactical moves. E.g forgetting to put two riders in a race Not using a tac sub in ht 14 Failing to give their best rider an r/r ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to Schroeck who is the worst by far, Cami & Sudden Sam are closer Pete Adams & Middlo than to Schroeck. Well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration lol!

It might have the bends of a long track circuit, but you won't have the problem of straights being too long 😄 And you'd have access to Brumbrella track covers 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
