So was that because of a flat tyre? Interestingly they use lime at meeanee at that has the same problem with dirt over the fence. NOT from flat tyres. I wonder why they changed. And if they will have some of meeanees problems now as well. Interesting. No it wasn't from flat tyres, just general racing. Sort of makes you wonder what the difference is between dirt being flung over/through the fence from a car at full race pace with fully inflated tyres to cars with one flat tyre? You don't see those cars being sent infield for flinging clumps of dirt into the crowd? As other folks have insinuated, the flat tyre rule isn't right. I get the intention but it's not really workable when just as much mud is being flung into the crowd from cars with fully inflated tyres. Rather than sending cars infield (which is ruining the spectacle for punters), maybe tracks need to look at things like fence construction or seating placement? Whist that's easy to say, nobody will want to go to a speedway sitting 200 metres away from a fence they cannot see through. It's not a problem with an easy solution. Barry B |

The new track surface needs a lot of work, I have never seen a track like that since the nz stockcar champs in Bay Park, with clay often flying into the grand stand, not very good for the little ones there for the fireworks, I actually took a shot on the forearm to stop a lump of clay hitting the side of the face of a little one, and as a good gester her father offered $50, I said to him keep for your children to come to speedway again, on a positive side the introduction of lime has certainly made more grip and high speed rollovers in all classes, now that,s how speedway should be, action and excitement to the max.  . The track was just crap from weather... before all that rain came during the week it was a beauty of a track. The good thing is it has heaps of grip, drive and potentital now we just need the weather on our side |
