  1. Yes, something I think to do with a motocross case where someone tried to sue the scrutineer after an accident so at Nora events now they don’t check bikes, except the cutout at speedway, to be fair scrutineers only really pick up on trivial things, if you have a serious defect like a cracked frame or missing spokes the rider would know that anyway and wouldn’t ride the bike
  2. They are based at silverstone racetrack and have some really big names as clients and seem to specialise in car racing
  3. So British company mayfield sports are taking over the GPs from discovery, I was convinced it was going to be speedway futures Ltd
  4. Strangely just like the rounds and venues for next season no mention of wildcards
  5. Yes that’s right and very convenient too, Zelensky the dictator (by definition) will be outed when the time is right and his purpose has been served
  6. I once brought an engine off Dave jessup when he was running shorne speed, it was fast but when I pulled it apart to service it every part was lightened to within an inch of its life, even the bolts were drilled through the center, to be fair nothing broke but I did change a lot of the parts to standard stuff, but if he was doing this in his racing career you can understand why he broke down so often
  7. Maybe you should stop believing what your tel-lie-vison tells you
  8. Madsen is already in, woffinden days are gone as a world force, nothing nox office about him these days except his swearing, in kasper woryna we might have some entertainment, I don’t think he will break the top 8 but he not afraid to mix it even with zmarzlik it should be at least laguta even if not Emil but both would be a welcome pick
  9. So does kolodziej stay with leszno ? They are going to keep cook parnicki, Pickering and Zengota, are they strong enough keeping kolodziej ?
  10. One thing that seems to be very quiet is discovery over next year, venues, dates, have they announced anything regarding next year ?
  11. Only rider who deserves a wild card is laguta who was robbed of defending his title by the woke tossers that are the FIM
  12. Me too, I wanted zmarzlik to win anyway but after Thursday I thought sod Kurtz, if he can’t be bothered to turn out for his club in such an important meeting the I’m glad he lost
  13. Wildcards Doyle Kvech, vaculik and parnicki, I’m basing this on purely financial not abilty decision
  14. Is it because fans see themselves in the drivers, they are one of them, so there is the bond, I’ve always maintained that this is what speedway has lost, we the fans no longer feel like one of them, there’s them and us now ?
  15. More speed at the end of the straight can be achieved with something as simple as smaller sprockets, the more teeth you take off the further the bike goes in a straight line before it hits its maximum speed but it’s a fine balance because the compromise in that is it takes longer to get to that optimum speed and the straights are short, a bigger sprocket will help you get out the start but that’s no good if half way down the straight the engine has maxed out, think of gearing like the gearbox in your car, 1st gear will always pull away faster than 3rd but it will run out of speed at 100yards and 3rd takes over to take it to next level of speed, one other thing that zmarzlik does which no other rider does is sit at the back of his seat entering the corner, everyone else sits at the front, back in the 80s Bruce penhall had his engine plates especially made so the engine was an inch further back in the frame thus moving the engine weight further towards the back wheel, an inch may sound nothing but in speedway every slight change can make the difference
  16. I’ve never been but the place is packed and they got extra seats in too
  17. That’s how I feel after spending my hard earned going to Ipswich Thursday night, his lack of effort was appalling
  18. Just seen pictures from the stock cars at kings Lynn tonight, size of the crowd, what are they doing right that we aren’t ? It isn’t the price as it was £42 to get in and extra £25 for grandstand seat and it was packed and had extra seats on 4th bend too
