Speedway Gp's 2017
Ghostwalker replied to ProperSport's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
As said it's the old preservation fluid but also because of when the ship was salvaged the conservators put allot of iron nails into the hull. The nails then rusted and then contaminated the hull together with "natural" iron objects such as cannon balls and etc. It is not combusting but the hull is (very) slowly shrinking/deforming due to it being very heavy.

"'ve broken a finger on my left hand (like I did last year at Swindon) and apart from that an some bruises I'm fine and a few days rest will do me good before SGP Challenge on Saturday #34 #BackOnTheBigStage2017 #CanSupportMe" This is speedway in a nutshell. Your finger is broken! No it isn't. Look! *looks* there's but a scratch.

I would strongly advise against hop on hop off buses. In my experience they are way overpriced. Buy a public transport pass (like a 72 hours pass) and travel by public transport. A 72 hours pbtr-pass is 230SEK (about £20) and offers much greater value then HoHo buses. -
Bomber 6 Year Silencer Trouble

I think most riders who rides in the UK as well as in Sweden/Denmark/Poland have different sets of bikes/engines/equipment for UK and the other countries since it is very difficult to get your equipment from a meeting in the UK on a Monday evening to i.e. Sweden less then 24 hours later (the same for Poland-UK Sunday->Monday). -

Of course it is not all about getting the set up right, a rider still needs to have skill to properly handle the bike, finding the right riding line, when to go for it, when to not go for it and etc. However regarding the setup, a good rider makes sure that he have a good setup, he knows/feels what works/ what doesn't work and how to communicate this to the mechanists. Gemini, I think that Nicki Pedersen is a strong contender to the "most pit crew change" title.
