hi again i just wanted to say it was a good days racing yesterday but the guy who does the track waters aint got a clue! he only seems to water the bits that dont need doing, and when he does water it, he bloody floods it! i said it before that the whoops were dangerous and i proved it in my first race, i got knocked out on the dam things they arent safe and the guy needs to learn how to build a decent track before everyone leaves the club, only 96 riders turned up! but things seem to be improving at least people were clapping for each other at the end of the day  _________________ pez beee |

I aggree, the autos had a hard time as usual on a track that was like winter conditions, one line around, start straight like a swamp, sections nearly unrideable, bikes nearly cooked the clutches on practice, summer is on the way, time for some clean, fast riding, (i doubt it at this track)  |

i totally agree with the watering is terrible and needs to put on a finer spray more often but even though the whoops r hard they r gettin better and making the track more intrestin. mayb compremising and making the whoops smaller would work. If autos or smaller classes cant do it then they should be takin a different corse so they dont ride over them. Mayb? or not? _________________ Ash |

The auto riders don't seem to mind the whoops, the problem was with the drenching of the track, totally crazy and in the wrong places,
Northamptons last meeting there was not like that! |

| The watering of the track makes the riding conditions on practice & 1st race almost unrideable for the smaller bikes. Why does it have to be water logged in places? Start line is like a lake and swamped on other parts of the track. Expect this in winter but not when we finally have a good spell of dry weather! Appreciate some watering is necessary to keep dust down. |

| can any one tell me is it normal for the auto riders to start off in a row behind each other and only have one line to go on for the practice. Would this happen in any other club ? This is only down to the to the watering of the track, which is flooded and dangerous to rider. For the autos it is bad for the bikes. |
