Tape - can we get some sticky stuff please?

[The Doctor]

Guys, since we started racing after Christmas, the tape has been coming up every evening at various points round the track. Last Friday this happened in 3 of my 4 races, which is pretty poor for a club such as ours, and caused at least 2 people to pull out of their races in my heat during the evening. It's just becoming a lottery whose race will be disrupted next.

I understand that it's a bit cheaper than the "good" stuff, but at the end of the day surely it's the quality of racing that should take priority?


Can I ask the Committee to consider getting rid of the cheap tape and reverting back to the original sticky stuff so that we can all enjoy quality racing again?

Anyone else feel the same, or is it just me?
