Chief Stipe Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Big variation between the shute and the straight. Good to see the green grass ALL over and no drone shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago If the times are incorrect and are adjusted later off the video why bother posting them in the first place? At least they've worked out how to not broadcast the drone shot for the first 600m. Must make it easier for the commentator as well as the Trackside viewer.

SLB2.0 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The distances can't be correct, because even if hand-timed, the discrepancy is 3-4 seconds in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How frigging hard is it to get one of those wheelie thingis and measure the distance? It's not as if the move the rail in the shute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless... Do they have no funds? Is there a major redevelopment of the track scheduled? Or have they decided to close Trentham down as uneconomic to renovate and move to Awapuni? Or do false times make the track look better than it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago All of the above. The ongoing serious problems with tracks and a flat property market will mean plan A, B and C have gone out the window with plan D which was always a dud. They are now consulting Earnestly with Ernie from Muppet inc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
