THE DEAN MACHINE

It’s time for zmarzlik to move to ashtek engines, his engines have looked underpowered for a few meetings now, even when winning last night he was riding the slick parts of the track, trying to make long straights to get up speed, it must be on his mind, lamberts Toruń knowledge showed last night with a couple of his moves but even then he looked a class above anyone else and is a deserved world champion, Kurtz was as fast as ever but seem to relying on the dirt line too much which by the 3/4 races in each block had disappeared, I still can’t believe woryna got excluded for causing lindgren to crash, it was one race I actually filmed and even watching it back lindgren just runs into him and falls but all in all a great nights entertainment, oh and just one other thing, I say this as a proud Brit we need to change our national anthem, it’s dull and sounds like there is someone with a handle winding it up to speed and as for the subject matter well that’s another story, times have changed the country has changed its time for a rethink

Congratulations to Robert lambert, deserved winner and world champion,well done too to Kurtz and zmarzlik for making it a great series and all the riders, fantastic atmosphere on fantastic track in a fantastic stadium in a fantastic country, I love speedway

Being here today I can’t help but think SGP miss out on merchandise, every rider and the GP itself should have massive merchandise stands and also the food and drink (except beer) needs looking at, they need to employ an events manager that looks after what happens outside the stadium on GP days, there are 1000s here today with money to burn and nothing to spend it on, there is one man in the car park with a table selling merch from the back of his car making more on merchandise sales than the SGP itself

Mark lemon and that’s what he said it costs to put a GP on at belle vue

Maybe Mike lemon plucking the 1/2 a million price to stage a BV GP might of had a bearing, still not sure how he came to that figure for an existing track even with hiring a temp stand

Could they consider building false corners on the stock car track just for that weekend ? Moving the white line out 10ft and building a 10ft false corner on stock car track, it’s certainly within their capability

Apart from racing wise it’s a good call on every other level from fans POV and financial point of view, yes the track needs something to improve the racing but rough or not if your the best in the world you should be able to ride it

It is a guess, well sort of lol

I want Zmarzlik to win to cement him as the greatest of all time and also at this time it’s clear that ashtek engines are superior to Kowalski tuned engines especially in straight line speed so for Zmarzlik to beat the 2 ashtek tuned riders is also another win, I’d rather lambert win than Kurtz otherwise but whoever wins all 3 will be deserved winners and it’s going to be a tense brilliant final round and I’m so happy to be here to witness it

My guess is no belle vue GP next season, British GP is at Ipswich and final round in Australia

Congratulations Poole and well raced Redcar for making it a decent nights entertainment

Will Cairns is everything this sport needs,voted him BSN rider of the night just for his antics and interview

If I was Richard Coleman I would be really embarrassed after tonight,not only for teams performance but for the quality of the product on show, it was a tough watch

Speedway at its worst

Referee has no discipline on the start line, Doyle rolling in both rides

Exactly and that’s more than enough to create a decent atmosphere

If they give the wildcards to holder, bewley, sayfutinow and laguta you would have 7 genuine contenders to be world champion and the GP hasn’t had that for a good few years

Do hope they can make a meeting of it but I just think Toruń have too many good riders to let 20 points slip

When you are racing the outside noise sort of passes you by, you tend to get caught up in the actual racing until after the meeting but even saying that you can create an decent atmosphere with 500 people and being Ipswich you would think there would be well over 1000, so really it’s the type of people that are there rather than the numbers, clubs need to start thinking about rent a crowd to start creating an atmosphere which I believe a couple of clubs have tentatively tried

Well that’s game over for Wrocław, they have collapsed in the last 4 races

Some fantastic racing tonight, 17,175 fans there

As you expect, fantastic atmosphere

It is heavy rain at the moment, I will never understand why they didn’t build an extra 6ft on the roof all round

Toruń v Wrocław delayed cause of rain

Zmarzlik and woryna as a team pair remind me of historical pairings like Ermolenko/Correy Hamill/Hancock ward/holder
