The bends are that wide

90 per cent of it could collapse and still enuff room for six dogs to get past

What a shame the first track built for years has been ruined by a stupid design

have it on good authority they were told to build it like that wonders,swindon had a cracking track designed but the designs on show now in the paddock look nothing like the original plans,the story behind the change in plans was a gbgb directive that for any new track the bends had to be a minimum radius of 47 mts...I literally have no idea how true any of that is but this is the story doing the rounds at the minute.

that's probably right pat
got no problem with bends being sweeping but to build a track without any straights is epicSad
