Bitza Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I'm a relatively recent convert speedway spectator, and just love it. I have been watching Poole at Wimborne Road. Until last night when I made the trip up to Sandy Lane to watch the Grand Final. My question is how much do track surfaces vary and how does it effect what it's like to race on? I noticed that the Sandy Lane track looked like a finner material compared to Poole's, and that it's prepared to be drier. I'm really just guessing but it appeared that the drier/finner surface was harder to ride but if you get it right gives you a faster race. Maybe I'm way off the mark, but I'd be interested to hear any insight ex racers might have to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago there needs to be serious research re the tyre/ surface interaction. When I first started watching some racks were red with shale, others balck or brown. Slowing the engines down is most important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
